Hello, Friends! Are you enjoying springtime? Have you been enjoying Passover or looking forward to Easter? We have been enjoying our spring break together – spending every day biking, or at the beach, it has been amazing. I hope that wherever you are, the weather is nice or at least bearable!
Today is Day 6 of our juice fast – and while it hasn’t been easy, I have learned a few things in the past week.
- I was majorly addicted to sugar and bread
- Not eating has been much easier than expected
- I don’t miss my morning cup of coffee
- Not eating makes you feel cold all of the time, especially at night
- I do like and can drink juice as my only food
- Losing 9.9 lbs in 6 days feels good (the mister lost 12)
- The misters rash is going away
Tonight, when the mister gets home instead of having wine and cheese – we are going to juice cantaloupe, strawberries, grapefruit and lemons – then, blend it with ice! I am looking forward to it.
While I scour Pinterest for more juicing recipes, here are a few green things you might enjoy:
– 5 ways to help save our disappearing bees!
– Love these natural Easter egg dyes for the weekend.
– Dull hair? Restore it with a DIY avocado mask.
– 18 reasons why doctors and lawyers home school their children. Interesting!
– 10 more DIY terrariums that you can make.
– I can’t wait to eat Vegan lettuce wraps!
Happy Passover or Happy Easter! I hope you have an amazing weekend with your family – I am sending sunshine your way. See you back here on Monday!

Way to go Jennie!! That’s awesome, can’t wait to hear more~ I juice regularly in addition to eating healthfully. I have only done a 5 day juice fast a few years ago and it went really well! I want to do another longer one but I’m nursing right now so I have to wait…. Maybe you could post some of your fave recipes?! I often make the same 2 because they are easy to get into the habit of… Green juice with cucumber, lemon, misc.greens, watercress, cabbage, beet, ginger, green apple & celery. Then one with a bag and half of carrots, 2 grapefruit, 1 orange, and knuckle of ginger~ Happy juicing =)
so glad to hear your spring break was a hit! very interesting insights into the world of juicing and the cantaloupe, strawberries, grapefruit and lemons mix sounds divine! congrats on the weight loss and feeling better! how much longer did or do you plan to do the fast? loved the bee article and already do all of these things myself; however, I am going to share the article because I know many who do not do these things! oooo I love terrariums!
WOW! that is dedication! good luck!
