Day 19


Hope everyone had a good weekend. Mine was pretty swell, went to Gainesville for the UF vs KY game on Saturday. This was the first time I've had to be in a tailgate environment with food and beer being consumed all around me. It actually wasn't as difficult as I imagined it'd be.

I hit the Farmer's Market yesterday late afternoon after getting back from Gainesville. I think I'll be going at the end of the day from now on. I got the best deals so far, not sure if it's because they were about to close for the day or what. The kale vendor I bought from last weekend wasn't there - so I found another lady who I bought an entire case off of for $6! The case had 12 bunches of kale - so it was a pretty good deal. I had to take one of the produce drawers out of my refrigerator just to store it. I literally have a trash bag full of kale in the bottom of my fridge.

Other than the steal I got on the kale, I bought 20 cucumbers, 4 bags of celery, and some ginger root. I spent $20 for all the items pictured here. Unfortunately, the guy I bought the celery and ginger root from offered to sell me a case of cucumbers for $6 AFTER I had already bought them from a different vendor...I don't know where I would have stored 80+ cucumbers- but it would have been pretty awesome.

I've had several people at my workplace express interest in juicing and 2 have actually committed to doing a juice fast, like myself. Another couple people are interested in working juice into their diet or maybe using it as a single meal replacement. It should be neat to see how this works out for others - I know it's working out great for me.

It looks like I get to buy a new watch because I hit my first goal this weekend! 20 more pounds to go for the Mac Book.

Peace
