I didn't sleep particularly good last night. I woke up feeling super tired, and it was a good 10-15 minutes until I finally 'woke up'. That being said, I wasn't tired all day! I drank fruit juice today, which is always delicious, but I had to dump out my veggie juice.
I tried making another V8 recipe, but this one had beets and radishes in it, and looked like blood. Now, I'm normally all for drinking blood, but this was not good at all. I managed to get through about 6 ounces, but decided after that that there was no way I was going to finish it. So I dumped it out, rinsed the bottle, and had more fruit juice.
You may be asking yourself what the significance of blogging about washing a container out... Well, first of all, juicing isn't entirely accurate. The particular juicer I have adds a lot of oxygen to the juice, which breaks down the nutrient value faster, as well as gives the juice a lot more foam. This foam adds up, and it also makes the juice thick, almost like a smoothie, but more liquid. It also coats almost any surface, and I'm finding I'm constantly rinsing out any glass or container I use several times. Anywho, when I got home and opened up the bottle, the smell of beets overwhelmed me! it was awful. Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica.
I'll post my current stats at the bottom, but I was able to use the scale at the gym today, which gives a much better reading. I am pleased at the current results. I know it's probably mostly water weight, but I'm still happy so far..
I'm not sure if that will last me until Saturday or not. I'm trying to get better at figuring out how to buy for 2 days without repeating recipes over and over, and also not having extra food around. I don't want to buy stuff that ends up going bad, that'll just piss me the hell off!
