Day 3- MAN this is hard!

For a good part of the day I found myself wondering why I'm doing this.  My energy level is still pretty low and this on and off headache is bringing me down.  I did have a few hours today where I started to feel a little lively, and that helped me remember what this is all about.  Lots of people say that day 3 is the hardest, I've got to agree, it always has been in the past and today was solid confirmation for me.  Toward the end of the day, while doing yoga, I realized that it's been a verym very long time  since I havn't given myself exactly what I wanted pretty much when ever I wanted it, so there might be some whiney baby stuff happening inside of me right now, which is good.  I need to get that out and get over it, and remember how fortunate I am to have the choice to not eat for 30 days.

apples, pears, lemon and blackberries:) 

Anyway- the juices

First juice of the day was excellent.  Apple, Pear, Lemon, Ginger.  Simple and super yummy.  I should have added parsley to it though, next time

1 and 1/2  cups (12 oz) apple juice with 25 black berries in it as well- 180 calories
1 and 1/2 cups (12 oz) pear juice- 225 calories
1/2 a lemon juice (1oz)- 8 calories

Total: 25 oz and 413 calories and omg delicious

Then later I made more of my usual evening juice, and added some tomato.  I also juiced some things together, so the calorie breakdown is a little harder to figure out but.....

16 oz carrot juice (10 carrots)- 188 calories
3 oz celery juice (3 stalks)-16
1/4 cup spinach juice (2 oz) (1 huge bunch of spinach)- 4 calories
1/4 cup kale, beet greens (2oz) (3 kale leaves and the greens from a beet)- 9 calories
1 and 1/2 cup parsley, cucumber tomato- 12 oz (1 huge bunch parsley, 1 cucumber, 1 tomato)- 111
4 and 1/2 oz apple, and beet juice (1 apple, 1 beet)- 40 calories

39.5 oz at 368 calories

Total for the day: 64.5 oz at  781 calories.  Not even close to my goal

I'm finding that it's going to be really hard to make 120 ounces of juice per day.  I honestly thought I'd be really driven to make it, but it's been more of a challenge than I thought.  Another thing I'm realizing is that while it's always recommened that one juice more veggies than fruits, the fruits are where all the easy calories are.  So right now I'm trying to come up with ways to find more veggies that are more calorie heavy to juice.  And I'm also looking for ways to make it less expensive but I am kind of stumped on that one for now.

Tomorrow I think I'm going to have to start helping my body eliminate, those processes seem to be slowing down.  And I'm going to blog all about it when it happens, I bet you can't wait!
