Well…I was beginning to think that I wouldn’t get any use out of this blog-site, EAT, but alas, I’ve really got something to blog about!
My BFF and I have decided to embark upon a new challenge. One with the RAW/Vegan community! 21 Days of SOLELY juicing!!! This fast will flow into the Daniel Fast which our church will begin on March 8th!
This fast as well as the Daniel Fast are intended to promote healthy mind, body, & spirit, BUT not without the sacrifice of WITHDRAWL!
There was no challenge this morning as I had 10oz of Strawberries, juiced w/ 2 egg whites, soy milk, 1/2 banana, & granola.
Now, if I’m not mistaken, I am not to have eggs, granola, milk, or anything else that would turn my juice into more of a smoothie.
However, here are my concern, better known to some as excuses:
1.) Concerns of an inadequate number of calories
2.) Concerns of an inadequate amount of nutrients
Thus making me feel “some kind of way.”
Snack 1: 1 Kiwi, 4 oz of grapes, 2 green apples juiced. This was tart, but tasty!
Lunch: 3 carrots, 1/2 cucumber, 1/2 apple, 1 cup of spinach. Not bad! Sweet, but not fruit explosion sweet!
Inbetween Snack and Lunch, I did begin to feel hungry which is manifesting my fears of juicing not being enough!
Is this a form of starvation? I’m not sure and it’s too early to tell, or is it?!
Going into this, it was determined that you do the best that you can. I have encouraged my bff (and she with I) to make 80% of her day juice and if it’s absolutely unbearable to cook eat whites or fish, both high in protein and most importantly, you can chew them! LOL!
Well…. *sigh*…My first honest attempt at journaling about a new food journey…
Let’s EATogether~
