DAY 1 - The Mental Hunger Is The Hardest

START WEIGHT: 11 stone 2
WAIST: 36.5 inches
HIPS: 43 inches

5.45am - I'm awake early as usual so thought I may as well get up and start my day. It was very tempting to have the ginger shot straight away but I'm going to save that until everyone else has breakfast. Thankfully my drink of choice these days is always water so that makes in between juices easier this time. The first time I detoxed, I struggled to just have water because back then I hated it. I am wondering if my headaches last time were more dehydration? Yes there are juices but water is needed in between. My first juicece according to the chart is 8am with my second at 11 am. I'm going to stick to my usual schedule due to my habitual eating. I don't have my breakfast until after the school run so will stick to that and have my first juice then.

"Can I try it Mummy?"

7.02am - GINGER SHOT My throat is on fire! It certainly goes to show that we never put enough ginger in! The first clue was when my 6 year old daughter asked to try a tiny bit on a teaspoon. And I do mean a tiny bit. I didn't give any indication of what to expect. She drank half a cup of her morning juice straight after! Lol This then made me nervous to neck mine. When I did I found myself spinning in circles, stomping my feet and going "hachhhhh!" loudly. She thought this was hysterical. She asked me why I would want to drink that and I told her it would be good for my skin. As a result she asked to lick the pot out!...and she did. I love my daughter so much! Note to self: remember to get shot out earlier. I had to put it in warm water to defrost. I've got out juice #1 (love the fact they are numbered) but still frozen solid.

8.05am - Still frozen solid...It has another hour before I need it though. Can't wait for this one. It is the Super Juice and it is my favourite juice and the one I always make if fancy a juice. I drank it every day whilst I was pregnant so maybe that is why my daughter loves it despite it being green. I'm wondering how much like my own it will be.

10.07am - SUPER JUICE - I am now sat here with my 8am Super Juice. To be honest I prefer my own because I smoothie a lot more avocado into it. However it is still yummy! It was still rather frozen so it is like a slushy which is lovely. I also like the fact it is in a blue bottle because it means I can't see if it is turning to the off putting brown.

12.34pm -  SUPER JUICE - At some point I had the friendly bacteria that came with the pack but I forgot my wheatgrass shot! Second juice was lovely but then I knew it would be. Not so slushy this time.

2.11pm - BERRY BOOST BAR - I don't like dates so was a bit apprehensive about this. However, it was lovely to have something to chew on and after I had got used to the texture I enjoyed it. I broke it in half so that I could have some tonight at the time I usually start wanting to snack.

5.12pm - TURBO EXPRESS - Argh! Is time for the dreaded celery. It says it is 4% celery. I would have left that out if making it. Time to try. ...

5.25pm - I held off due to cooking my daughters dinner. Oh believe me I am now struggling due to the smell of food...Mmmmmm. Anyway, I have just tried the TURBO EXPRESS and am shocked. It is the same ingredients as the super juice but with added spinach and celery.... and it is lovely! I naturally had to sacrifice one slurp to my 6 year old. Her verdict is that this one is the nicest so far. That's my girl :-)

7.23pm - LEMON GINGER ZINGER - Hmm. Not my favourite by a long way. Having flash backs to my throat burning this morning. I'm going to persevere with it because it's my last juice of the day and it has ginger in it which I know is good for my skin. I still have the rest of my boost bar to look forward to later at the time when I would usually curl up with a bit of dark chocolate.

DAY 1 VERDICT - So day one is nearly over. I've not been hungry at all. The only hunger I have felt has been of the mental kind. Cooking for little one was the hardest. I've removed tomorrow's juices from the freezer. I know I shall love the first two because they are Super Juice. However the other two I am a tad concerned about. If my memory serves me right, there will be the dreaded beetroot involved! See you tomorrow!
