So I’m back home after visiting the mother and was pleased to see even with the argumentative scales I’ve still lost about 2lbs! Now to step it up a gear…
I’m trying Jason Vale’s 7lbs in 7 days Super Juice diet. It’s only a week and as I’m off anyway I thought surely even I can do it!
My first goal was to follow it word for word and get up at 7am for hot water & lemon followed at 8am by the first juice. On this I failed, slightly ignoring the alarm and snoozing until 9am. Despite being somewhat behind I managed the hot water (with green tea & lemon) which, by the way is a bit rank, and moved on to the juice.
The borrowed juicer seemed simple enough but outwitted me and it took me nearly 45mins to work out the correct way of slotting the top part on so it would actually turn on! I was almost thinking all that delicious fruit I’d bought was going to be wasted.
Once I worked it out I smugly fed all the fruit through the machine and moved on to blending the avocado and probiotic yogurt (I don’t have the recommended supplements yet) only to find my blender is cracked and it leaked all over the work top… and my feet! Yuk!
Moving on to a hand blender and resigning myself to having to buy a new blender I managed to complete my first juice. Only two and a half hours late!
It may look a bit gross but actually tastes delicious; a creamy combo of apples (tho book states I will get through 76 apples this week!), pineapple, avocado, cucumber and lime. Yum!
Skipping one of the morning juices, a duplicate of this one, I will tackle the machines again at 2pm. Hopefully I’ll get slicker before I spend all week covered in pulp!
Update:
23:24. Taken myself to bed after a bath, very early for me! Have been a complete lazy bore all day, just lying around feeling hungry. In the end had to make a simple veg soup as juice just wasn’t cutting it. Was very bad and did no exercise so must walk the dog tomorrow – but it’s so windy and yuk outside!
On the up side all the juices have been lovely so I will stay with it and see how it goes.
