Boy did I have a surprise yesterday. I got my friend 10 days early. I got my friend when I was fasting. I am assuming my body is just cleaning house. When I start a really clean diet pow. Here it is when its not supposed to be.

Im trying to regroup my self this month for the challenge but Im so distracted right now. I don't even feel like juicing. Boo .. I have 2 pineapples on my counter calling my name.
My goal this month eat 75% fruit the rest greens/fats/seeds. So today I started with 5 oranges juiced. Then 5 apples made into homeade yummy applesauce. Should have put cinnamin. I put orange juice but it still turned brown owell it tasted good. I have 3 banannas for snacks and will have a big salad for lunch. Pineapple gazpacho juice for dinner.

My personal goal. Is to organize my kitchen.. Starting small the whole house is a wreck. i just can't seem to get it together. I put feeding us first then bathing and homeowork.

Im thinking I might have a vitamin d deficiency. I moved to florida because I always felt good when I was out in the sun. The summer was good. Now I m getting out because of my new work hours now Im miserable again. I have some vitd im going to take and try to get outside this week. Ill updat you all on my progress. Sorry to sound so blah blah just trying to get out of this rut and into a more energetic life.

    Good morning! Now you went and gave me oj cravings. Guess that will be my first nutrition for the day. :) And I totally forgot about applesauce. Yeah, that, too. LOL. Perhaps I will follow your menu today. :) Organization is quite the chore. And difficult to maintain when the rest of the family REFUSES to participate in it. Grrrrr. Being home these past 3 weeks has been a Godsend for sure. I had so much energy from juicing I completely cleaned the kitchen....cupboards and all. We cleaned out both refrigerators before juicing so we could move cooked stuff to the second one and keep all produce in the main one. DH hates it, but I used get those rubbermaid type drawers and put them in the fridge to organize it. It works great. He has this mental thing about needing plastic bags though so that as you use it, the bag gets smaller. Who cares? When it is that way it gets lost and tossed. I think he has an actual fear of organization, lol. He is in for a surprise, because with the mountain of produce we have with him now participating....I need to find some way to organize efficiently for us. And because he is not able to recognize different types of greens by sight, they need to be labeled for him.
    I bet that between TOM and adjusting to higher amounts of fruits in your diet that your body is just adjusting right now. I had a couple of days when juicing that all I wanted to do all day was sleep. My TOM was supposed to be here at that time as well according to my MYDAYS app on my phone, lol. Never came. Not sad about it either. :)
    Ok, just so you know, I ran to the kitchen and juiced 6 oranges. Cheers!

    Yeah I love Oj When I did my fast I bought it from the Orange grove fresh unpasturized. I just had to strain it Yummy in green juice and carrot/orange/ginger is soo good.

    Serious adjustments but I think 3 full months is the magic #. Im glad you are getting things done around your house. :)

    I so understand the organization thing! We just moved and trying to move in and sort and cull and organize gets overwhelming! If your kitchen seems too much, break it down to a drawer or cabinet a day. Simple lets the mind breathe!

    Just wanted to say the SAME EXACT THING happened to me during my last two juice fasts -- I got my period like 10 DAYS early!!!!!!

    And more recently when I did this little 3-day juice fast, it started over a week early AGAIN!

    I thought it was menopause. Which, in my case, it still might be. Anyhow just wanted you to know it happened to me, too!

    Do you know about Flylady.com? That's a very helpful, positive-energy site for dealing with organizing/de-cluttering a house (and the emotional issues surrounding it). I LOVE it, check it out!
