Reboot Kickoff!

My Reboot has begun!

In preperation on Saturday I hit the vegetable market with my mom and may have gone a little nuts on my purchasing.  I filled an entire cart to nearly overflowing including stacking five melons underneath it. My mom and I were heaving it around the store hoping a small child wouldn't pop out of nowhere because slowing to a top was very difficult. Once I got home, it took me and my boyfriend Arrol about 10 trips to get it all upstairs.  For my last chewed meal before the Reboot I ordered Thai tofu curry and brown rice.  I had to savor my last meal and really enjoy it so that I didn't feel jipped as I enter cleanse.

Sunday morning my mom had planned to come over and help me kick off my Reboot and start juicing.  Little did I know my sister was on her way with my nephew in toe for support and encouragement! It was an impromptu kickoff party with family and boyfriend in attendance. 

Thank God I started washing and categorizing my fruits and veggies Saturday night. You can see the bounty of goods I had and it nearly took all evening to unload!

We juiced three varieties of juice enough to last a little over three days.  We started with Green Juice so I could drink breakfast and have good energy to continue juicing.  My mom is a machine and kept me laughing the entire time!

I loved the taste of my "Green Juice". It tastes green! It's sweet and a little tart and sends chills down my spine.  I felt like a plant that was fed Miracle Grow.  I perked right up!  Later I drank what I nicknamed "Berry Heaven".  It was an amazing combination I could not even imagine. My first sip I thought, "Wow, that would be great with a little vodka in it!"  Then I relished in it's pure deliciousness.  I ended my day with a swim and my "Pumpkin Pie Juice". I went through my entire day with no real hunger.  Infact, I was hard pressed to finish the last few ounces at night.

As the sun went down I sat on my balcony, drank a cup of herbal tea, and thought about the first day of my journey.  In the quietness I realized how much I dedicated to my eating.  All the thought that went into what I would make next.  The entertainment these thoughts provided me. I may have a ton of extra time on my hands over the next 59 days.

Overall, after day one I feel excited. Encouraged by the love and support of my family and friends; I hope this high lasts for a few more days.  I will blog how I am feeling as my journey progresses. 


Day One: Success!
