Day 13

Bale o' kale

As you may of noticed, I broke the daily postings...but the fast goes on. It was a busy weekend....going forward I'm only going to be posting a few times a week. I did pretty well at the Farmer's Market on Saturday, spent a bit more cash to stock up this time (see bale o' kale).

I've officially got a "go-to" vendor for kale going forward. She sells mostly collard greens, but had a single box of kale. Her prices were $1/bundle, I negotiated 10 bundles for $8. In addition I purchased 8 lemons, a large ginger root, 20 cucumbers, and 4 bags of celery. I've decided to continue purchasing granny smith apples at Publix since they are a good size and fit right in the juicer without cutting in half.

I have also tweaked my intake again, I think I've finally found a plan on what works for me. It also means I only need to juice twice a day. I make portions in the evening for that night and the next morning, and portions in the afternoon for the afternoon juices. The last few days I've been substituting protein in place of the mid-afternoon juice. It's more satisfying and easier to take down.

Morning

20oz juice

Mid-Morning

16oz protein/water drink

Afternoon

20oz juice

Mid-Afternoon

16oz protein/water drink OR 20oz juice

Evening

20oz juice

Tomorrow marks my second week on the fast, I'll be doing another weigh in and posting my results. It has definitely slowed, but progress is being made. I still have a long way to go, but I'm encouraged by what I'm seeing so far!

Adios
