Ahhh, still under.. Oh well, I think I had enough liquid though, as I didn't count the litre of water with lemon juice and raw honey! (:

mmm, this is the mixed salad. It was lovely and fresh!

I'm trying to ween myself off of raw honey. It's one of my 'trigger foods', referring to Mat Monarch's interview on Rawkathon; I loved that interview..Thanks!!
It's fineee in small, CONTROLLED amounts, but sheesh... once I start there's no stopping me!!
I can eat half a kilo of raw honey in a day... so yeah, I'm going to *try* and stop for a while, in till I know I can be satisfied with just a bit. (;
Another one of my 'trigger foods' is almond butter, mixed with raw honey no less!! haha!
Mmmmm, but it's soooooo good! (:
So, I'm not going to buy any more raw honey for a while.... we'll see how it goes (;

-100dL coconut water

-700dL celery/cucumber/ginger/lettuce/spinach/tomato/purple cabbage/apple juice

Okay, so I'm laughing histerically as I write this...
I found out what the alien white specks were on my clothes...
JUICE PULP!!!!!
... I always wash my nut milk bag with hot water and whatnot and then I flap it out to flick all of the water off...
and I guess some of the pulp backfired on me, hence the 'alien' specks!!!
Hahaha!

What I drank on Day 3 (the 14th Nov):
-
1 small glass water (around 150ml)
-1 glass coconut water with lemon juice (around 150ml)
- 900ml celery/parsley/tomato/coriander/cucumber/apple/beet juice


-250 ml apple/avocado/Sharon fruit/orange juice... YUM! *



-500ml coconut water
-spoon raw honey...
-Glass of water (250ml)
-800ml apple juice (with skins)
-150ml carrot juice (I made 800ml but couldn't finished it!... so I added it to my next juice...)
- 1,2L carrot/celery/apple/pear/lettuce juice
-Glass of water (250ml)

A total of: 3,950 ml of juice (including coconut water, not including water)
Hmmmmm.... Still just under... It's rather cold here, so I'm not that thirsty...

* As I didn't plan this juice feast I ended up with 2 ripe avocados which I just added to my concoctions and strained through the nut milk bag like any other juice ... I hope this counts as juice?..
It was thicker than usual, but I'm guessing that's just from the oil/fat of the avo?

What I drank on Day 4 (the 15th Nov):
-
Small glass water (150ml)
- 500ml apple/pear/lettuce/avocado juice
-650ml cucumber/celery/apple/lettuce juice
-1,5L Cucumber/red pepper/apple/ginger/celery/parsley juice
-Water (250ml)
-870ml beet/apple/ginger/red pepper juice
-Water (250ml)

This totals: 3,520L... I'm still finding it difficult to drink the minimum of 4L of juice a day!

I went for a lovely 5K run with a friend that day...
It was wonderful...
Near the end, we stopped at this stone block/bench without a back and she showed me how to do different kinds of ab exercises etc....
One of them was to lie on our backs with out legs up in the air and flap our arms.
Our bums were facing the road, and lots of cars were passing...
Its so funny to see how people react to anything out of the norm..
I just waved at them while I was doing this... Very funny!!...

What I have drank so far today on Day 5:
-
Water (500ml)
-1,2L parsely/cucumber/celery/red pepper/ginger/apple juice


(It's 9AM here...so this is only breakfast)


I am loving the ginger in my juices... I don't put a lot, just enough for a lil' kick (;

It's quite weird... I'm not missing solids at all...
Just the odd little desire, like when I cut the avocado in half, I felt like I wanted to eat it
But that's really about it!

Right, I have to get on with Homework...
Mum has been nagging me to get off the computer for the past half an hour!
(;

Day 2 (:

Okay, just a quick post of what I'v drunk today, as I need to be getting on with, *gasp*, even more homework!! (;

Ahh, I'm still not drinking as much juice as I would like to, thanks to my gruellingly long school hours... Start at 7:55 and end at 5:30 with an hour and a half for lunch break (I walk home).
And tomorrow I only have one hour break, which means only 20 mins at home!! ahhh...

Right, Enough whining!!

Here's what I had today (in order):

-2 glasses of water (around 500ml)

- 650 ml celery/lettuce/apple/cucumber juice


- 1 glass coconut juice (around 250 ml), with lemon juice

- 1 glass water (around 250 ml)

- 1 glass coconut water (around 300 ml) with water

- orange/frozen raspberry juice!! * (juice of 5 oranges and 300g of raspberries - made around 3 glasses, 800ml)


- 800ml lettuce/celery/cucumber/apple juice


- 1 glass water (around 250 ml)

- 1 1/2 glasses coconut water (around 375 ml)

- 1 l beet/celery/lettuce/apple/cucumber/red pepper


-1 spoon raw honey (;

Soooo, thats around 4,375 L (;
Yummy, I enjoyed all of these juices so much!!!
I'm sooo glad that I'm pursuing this!!!

* OMG, this was SO goooood!!:
But really... IT HURT making it!!!... (frozen raspberries)..
I use my Vita-prep to make my juices, then I strain through a nut milk bag...
My hands got SO numb, I had to swap and run them under water!..lol!

Okay, so the weirdest thing happened to me last night...
I was thinking about aliens (A gi2mr thread got me thinking about them)
and all night I felt kind of... watched upon, and slightly uncomfortable.
In the morning around 4Am I look out side... I see a full moon.
So then, I go to the bathroom and guess what I find out?
I'm like covered with blotches of, I can't really explain, I don't know what it was..
little white patches... EVERYWHERE...
my face, hair, clothes... SO WEIRD!
I've never thought about aliens... maybe because of the way they characterise them in cartoons with the original saucer ship etc... I've only really thought about them jokingly, taken for granted..
I don't really know what to think of it!...
