Yes you read the title right. I am juicing. For 21 days straight. God help me.
Now before you crucify me on making this decision, hear me out. I've been racking up the calories that I've consumed from the junk I put in my body and the hours I've spent on the couch for way too long. Hence my obtuse physique. I'm not proud of it, not proud of it AT ALL. And if this blog is any indication of anything, its my love of food. Food and I have been going steady for many years. It's my longest relationship with anything other than my mom. Food is there when I'm happy (cakes, burgers, milkshakes), food is there when I'm sad (cookies, doughnuts, chips, coke); it's a reliable source of comfort. One that I and millions of others have turned to, to soothe our aching souls. However I confess, I've abused the comfort that food gives. To the point where it has harmed my body. Nothing serious you guys, but let's face it, I can't shop at the Gap; and that's harm enough. Blue jeans! All I want is blue jeans ya'll! That, and a healthy body and a happy stress free mind.
So this is my experiment. I am going on a juice fast for 21 days. That's 3 weeks. Oh Lord. *sigh*
Disclaimer: I have to state that this juice fast didn't come out of nowhere and I'm being supervised while doing it. For the past two weeks I've had 2 liquid meals (ie; green juice in the morning and soup in the evening) and one solid meal for lunch, (grilled chicken, white fish, or raw salmon). So my body is ready to take on this challenge. I'm saying this for those of you out there who might want to attempt to do this. You have to prepare your body for what's to come. Otherwise it'll be really hard to go juicing for as long as I'm going to. If you plan to juice for a day or two you don't need to go through the measures I have. Oh and also; no dairy, no red meat, no sugar, no wheat, no potato, no tomato, no banana, no oranges, no tea, no Perrier. Just whatever grows on God's green Earth. Welcome to my world.
So here's to January 9! May you come swift and sure so I can once again have some chicken!
