Juice DeTox: Day 10
by Steve O Hernandez on Feb.09, 2012, under Health and Fitness, Juice Detox
Feelings and Thoughts
I woke up pretty good today. Not great but not normal. The routine is just fine now, with the juice in the morning and at night. Today’s juice kicked my ass (more information below) so I was taught a lesson there.
Resources and Tips
Tip of the day:
Goals
- DeTox: Nothing new here.
- Lose body fat (a plus but not required): I quickly weighed myself today and found that I haven’t gained any of the weight back (yet). Still down 3 lbs. Body fat is unknown until Friday (Day 12)
- Start the new year more disciplined: Juicing regularly is getting to be normal, though it does take more time than I’d like (about 30 minutes from open the fridge to get the stuff and sitting on the couch after washing the juicer).
- Get over this constant fatigue: Still tired, so not 100% yet.
- Learn good habits: Good habits on the way!
- Sleep 8.5 hours: Last night I slept for about 8.1 hours, which is good but not great.
Supplementation
Supplementation is continuing for the next month to allow my thyroid, adrenal glands, liver and kidneys to recover.
Diet
Today’s menu:
- 8 AM: Breakfast: juice
- 10 AM: Mid-morning: DeTox Tea
- 12 PM: Lunch: food (lean steak and potatoes with green beans)
- 2PM: Mid-afternoon: DeTox Tea
- 4PM: Late-afternoon: protein shake
- 6PM: Post-workout: juice
- 8PM: Dinner: food (chicken and a salad)
Today’s juice consists of broccoli, kale, celery, carrots and cucumber, which is the same recipe as yesterday but excluding the apple. I wanted to see if I could get away with not having that much sugar and still enjoy the juice. Well quite frankly, I cannot. The juice needs some fruity sugaryness. Otherwise, it’s not very enjoyable to drink. I still drank it, but boy did I not enjoy it.
I’ll probably add 1 apple instead of 2, to reduce the sugar but increase the sweetness. I may also throw in a kiwi if I have any on hand for tomorrow.
Today is also the first time I’ve eaten steak. It’s a little heavy for my stomach (a bit of indigestion) but not as bad as before.
Exercise
Cardio tonight! Let’s do it!
