Victoria Day Long Weekend - Saturday

A weekend home alone - time to decompress and to attempt my detox cleanse with my amazing new Breville juicer thanks to Joe Cross. Just need a weekend to read, watch Tv and play games - well with Wings work in between as well.

So the only way to do something successful is to journal so I will attempt to do that just so that I have notes to look back on to see if I would do this again.

Was up very early just as if it was a work morning. Somehow overnight I seem to have developed a head cold and a cough.

So up and showered early.

7:30 a.m. Hot water with 2 lemon slices

8:00 a.m. First juice: carrots, apples, ginger - more ginger this time and I liked it much better.

11:00a.m the mid-morning juice consists of: cucumber, celery, kale, ginger, lemon and apples

1:30 p.m. Lunch juice - not sure about this one - tomatoes, celery, red pepper, onion, parsley and lime. This juice was a little bitter-ish. I could use juicier tomatoes and cut back on the onion.

4:30 p.m. The mid- afternoon juice - oranges, cucumber, kale, Swiss chard

6:30 p.m. The pre-dinner juice - this is a weird one - sweet potato, red pepper, apples, oranges and beets but really yummy! My second favourite after the first juice of the day!

For dinner - a vegetable curried stew with sweet potato, potato, mushrooms, broccoli, onions and cauliflower.

Besides spending the time cleaning the juicer, watched Moulin Rouge, played my games and finished a book and started another.
