Day 2: Someone Will Always Be There To Help...

So this is the 2nd day of season 2...Like I said. I've done this before and results were tremendous in season 1.

I felt very energetic yesterday after consuming only juice...so my curiosity made me calculate how many calories I'd actually consumed: 6 cucumbers(271 calories), 4 beets (142 calories),Half of butternut(23 calories),2 oranges (123 calories),1 bunch of Chinese cabbage (18 calories),2 tomatoes (44 calories),5 carrots (125 calories),Ginger.

Ruth,my work mate,has been following my juice fast. She's been seeing me with bottles of juices and watches me as I gulp the rather strange contents. She was kind enough to bring me a bag of fresh spinach from her garden and 12 leaves made me 900ml of juice.

Contents Of Today's Juice

6 ripe mangoes

2 oranges

4 carrots

4 cucumbers

15 spinach leaves

What I was sad about today

The very expensive juicer, a brand which I won't mention, is not as effective as my affordable Phillips juicer. The former leaves so much wet pulp which makes me wonder whether I actually squeezed all the juice out of my produce.

Pulp from my Phillips juicer (Very dry)

Very wet pulp. (Can you see all the liquid?)

The expensive juicer is good because of its large mouth. You therefore don't need to cut veges before you juice them

What I was happy about today

I woke up early at 5am to do my 20minute run. I always do it in the evening but being the only cook at home,by the time am done with dinner preps,I'm too tired to run. According to my Nike + iPod kit, I ran 2.75 km  and burnt only 318 calories. Little by Little, I will increase the pace. :)

Note of encouragement to Myself

People will always be there to support me...like Ruth. I can do this! Juice on!
