My niece inspired me to do a 21 day juice fast. I told her that I wasn’t sure if I could do it for that long, and I’m still iffy on how I will do. But I figured if I kept an online journal, where I could hold myself accountable to others…then perhaps I might do better.

I have a Hamilton Beach Juice Extractor; which is one of the cheapest juicers available but it does the job. I have had it for almost a year and I still love it! The juicer came with some excellent recipes, and ironically there are 21 recipes, to go along with our 21 day juice fast.

Anyway I picked up some raw veggies yesterday and today I decided to go and get some fruit. I had told myself that I would buy everyday only what I would need for that day, but I have already crossed my own line.

I bought enough garlic to last me for a year..(well maybe not if I juice everyday), but they came in a pack and was cheaper that way. Same thing with the grapefruit, I was only going to buy one, but ended up with a bag of 6.

I went to the local apple orchard and for $5.00 I got a huge bag of apples which will last me at least 2 weeks into the juice fast. So yeah….I’m all set to go.

I’m doing good so far today, I have had 3 large glasses of vegetable juice, and am on my third glass of lemon water with honey. I’m starting to get hungry so I think I will make more juice.
