I have done pretty good since Saturday in regards to exercising. I managed to have completed 3 days so far of the JM 30 Day Shred. On the weekend, I added some walking on the treadmill after the session so I really worked out that lactic acid. Today, as per the usual Monday morning 4 a.m. wakeup call, it is WAY TOO EARLY, and this lazy butt could not get out of bed. So I came home after work and did it tonight. Normally I am beat at the end of the day, but not today.
I have noticed an increase in energy since I started drinking my twice daily fresh vegetable juice. BF wrinkles his nose up at each time I make it because sometimes it really doesn’t look all that appetizing. However, I think it tastes good and since it’s going into my gullet, then that’s all that really matters. I have been growing my own Wheatgrass this past week (my grow op is expanding). I started it last weekend, and as of today it is about 4 inches tall. Does not take long at all in the right conditions I guess. It took me awhile to get all the supplies that I needed because most stores have their Christmas stuff out not grow lights and trays. But I found what I needed last weekend and got my seeds soaking, and trays and lights setup. I am going to post some pictures later.
The new juicer that I got about three weeks ago is not made for Wheatgrass and quite honestly, since I’m doing this twice a day now, it would be nice to have one that keeps my vegetables alive long enough that I could possibly keep a jar in the fridge for a couple of hours so that I can incorporate more juice during the day. This one I think heats it up a bit because the juice separates and if left for a couple of hours, the taste just isn’t as good. So I ordered a new one online and it should be arriving by the end of this week. It does both veg and the grass. I just hope that the wheatgrass stays alive that long :) I have read so much good information about this live food.
The other thing I looked into last week was getting organic vegetables delivered to my house. So I signed up and I get my first delivery this Thursday. I have it scheduled for every two weeks so will see how this goes. I have to empty my fridge a bit to make room for it all. I am going through a LOT of vegetables and I am also now starting indoor composting (too cold outside here in the winter|). I’ll soon be (hopefully tomorrow) getting some red wriggler worms to compost the vegetable pulp and the Wheatgrass mats left over from harvesting cutting. Things are no longer simple :)
And on to the title of this post…. I took Jack’s advice the other day and have made an effort to brush my teeth after my last meal of the day and I have not eaten any night time junk since. Now I know it has only been 3 nights but that is an improvement. Hopefully I can keep this up and break this really bad habit of mine. Thanks to EVERYONE for everything you suggest. Every little bit of information is helpful.
Yeah, I know – two posts in one day.

Great job sandra, veggies twice a day have to give you some real nutritional energy.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are op.
How does wheatgrass taste?
I love that you are doing The Shred too! I have thought about growing wheatgrass - it is so good for you. We got an organic box delivered last year and it was really nice to get it delivered - they gave us yummy recipes too. Here's to a good week!
ReplyDeleteToothpaste works for me too! Also, just putting myself to bed if I find myself wanting to snack all evening. My daughter belongs to a farm cooperative and gets organic veggies delivered every week during the season. She swears they taste better.
