Day 6 some days are just normal regular days

It's been a long day and I'm very tired, so I'm going to save the words for another time.  Here's the basics....

Weight: still haven't checked
Energy level: moderate to pretty low at night
Headache: has returned- it's a sinus headache for sure, I've begun using the neti pot and I took some ibuprofin.  I know that's cheating.  It's been pretty intense.

Here are the recipes for today. I introduced broccoli and sweet potatoes, two things I'd never juiced before.  I was afraid of the sweet potatoe juice but it tasted alright, gives things a creamy texture, it's nice and silky, but a little chalky also, sort of a strange new texture.  The broccoli blended in smoothly with my regular evening juice that I really need to start varying a bit more.

Sweet potato, orange, pinapple
10 oz sweet potato juice- I can't find any info- let's say 150
28 oz orange juice- 392
24 oz pinapple juice- 396

62 oz- 938 calories

Evenig Juice, introducing broccoli and jalepeno
1oz beet juice-6 calories
2 oz broccoli- can't find calories- guessing something like 20?
18 oz carrot- 211
1 oz kale- 5
1.5 oz parsley- 10
4 oz apple-60
5oz cucumber -40
4 oz pear-75
2 oz celery- 11
a thumb of jalepeno

37 oz- 438 calories

Total for day: 99 oz at 1376 calories.  

Still haven't hit 120 ounces.  I know, I'm shocked too.

  1. Have you tried adding some herbs to your veggie juices? I'd had a basil/ginger spinach juice at a fair that was really good.

  2. yah, herbs are nice but they are a lot more expensive and the ones in my garden have all died from the freezes. maybe i'll try that again in the summer, thanks for the tip:)
