It's All in the Juice!

Well, here we are in beautiful Venice Florida working on becoming more healthy. We arrived at Dianna's house around 2PM and Shawna had a class for us on the juicing techniques we would be using for the week. Basically, we would not eat anything solid for 7 days. We are juicing all different types of vegetables and fruits....and those that can't be juiced will be soaked. For instance, I have had raisin water, cranberry water and our newest....prune water. We have apple juice/cider with Psyllium each morning (a full 32 ozs). For lunch we have 8 ozs of some vegetable juices. This might consist of celery, carrots, lettuce, spinach, garlic, ginger, broccilli, cabbage in any combination. Generally speaking only about 4 vegetables go into the juice machine for one meal. Then we have a snack of fruit juice. We have had pears, strawberries, apples, oranges, lemons and grapes. We have a couple of pineapples we are going to try probably tomorrow. And in the evening we will have another vegetable juice. Later we might have some hot vegetable broth or tea.

So, how do I feel. Well....right now rather tired. We went to Siesta Key Beach very early but within an hour we decided it was just to cool, windy and there was no sun. Although we might have had some benefits, the wind just wasn't worth it. So, instead we met Grandma Beirne in downtown Venice Island. From there we went to see Dianna's Island home then drove down to the beaches. We decided to get out at Casperson Beach to look for sharks teeth. From there we went down to Grandma and Grandpa's house in Englewood. Shawna took a nap for about 30 minutes and when we left we headed to a craft store. We were all so tired we couldn't think of what we wanted and decided to bag it all! I can't decide it the tiredness comes from no food or the fact that we ran ourselves to death since 7AM.

More to come!
