Juice wrap up, etc.

Sorry everyone for the lack of updates! I was at the beach for a quick getaway (and a bit of a surprise in which I forgot not only my phone charger, but my laptop as well) before a 2 week business trip beginning on Wednesday. I did the juice fast for 2 days-broke it Saturday morning, and am starting it again for another 2 days before living out of a hotel and being limited when it comes to good food choices. I have to say that I LOVE juice fasting! This was the first time that I ever have, and it was easy, delicious and I felt fantastic!

Juiced...

So I picked up 8 Simplifast's at Earthfare last night (not sure if Earthfare's outside of Charlotte have them yet). They were running a special, 2 for $7.00-so essentially $28.00 for two days-not bad! I've had the Strawberry and Lemon flavors so far-they are actually REALLY good-the colder the better! They are a bit tart, i assume from the lemon juice, which I actually like. The bottle is unobtrusive-it's not advertising that you are on a juice fast-or embarassing, like chugging a SlimFast or a 48 hour miracle diet (no lie, I saw a lady drinking one of those and EATING A BIG MAC once). There's no effort involved here-twist open the cap and drink. They have 11g of fiber per bottle so you feel full, are gluten free, and very high in vitamins. There's a full serving of B6 in each bottle which helps out on the energy front. I don't plan on running a marathon or anything on this, but I feel good and have been running errands all day with no dry mouth, dizziness, or whacked out feeling. In short, I feel totally normal. I'll update a bit later.

juice fast delayed until tmrw and other musings

Because I am a weenie and got up this morning at 9 (I stayed up til 3 editing a 20 page boring as all get out paper for my husband...the things we do for love), told the dachshund that we were mostcertainlynot taking him to Club K-9 for his trial session/interview in preparation for him to be boarded this weekend while the hubs and I go to Litchfield in celebration of yet another semester of his executive MBA program being finished (one year left-thank you God!) and strolled into the kitchen to make myself waffles (damn you sorority sister who got us the waffle maker as a wedding present-it is going to rapidly expand my bum if I don't WATCH IT...but I registered for it, so it is really all my fault)....there was no juice fasting going on today. But tomorrow! Oh yes, you can hear all about it. And you can hear all about my best little guy going to his first day of doggie camp. Tear, sniffle.
