Catching Up Cont'd- Day 4 January 28, 2012
Woke up feeling well rested. Took morning meds (thyroid medication), wait 4 hours til noon to drink/eat as the doctor prescribed everyday the rest of my life. Now what to do? Get ready for the day, decorate the house, and head to the beach?
It's now noon! Thank you Jesus! I am starving. But I so am beginning to hate juicing... sigh... It use to be fun to see the juice extracted from the pulp. Now its just blah... Ok I need to figure out how to juice once a day for the next 56 days! Light bulbs turn on!
Go to the refridge and triple everything! Thinking I only have to juice once. Today this will be a cinch! Making sure to leave enough to juice for tomorrows trip back 2 LA. I am all over this Move over I am stretching and excited to juice enough for 24 hours! 12 celery stalks, 3 cucumbers, 1/3 ginger root, 6 granny smith apples, and 3 lemons. Yum!
One hour later there is a party in my tummy. Not the good kind! Run! Which restroom! Oh no! Yelling, "Get out the wayyyyyyy!" Thank God I made it!
Its now 3:40 pm. the Natives are restless again! Who's hungry and starting to hate the mean green juice and challenge? You are correct, Me! Ok whats for dinner since the natives are about to die from hunger? I want to yell, "Try drinking juice and you will know first hand what it feels like to be hungry!"
Ok Spaghetti it is! Why oh why? Ok drink that mean green while cooking that will knock the edge off! Ok this isn't so bad! I feel a tap on my shoulder. Mom, "I want velvetta cheese in mine and I want Parmesan on top when it is done." I say, "Ok Dear".
Praying all the while, Lord help me Please! Thinking in my head-- I know there are people who can't chew and may be hooked up to iv's and feeding tubes right now. I know there are people with throat cancer unable to eat or drink. I know I should be thankful in having the means and health to do this challenge!
Setting the Table, say the grace, cheers! Then the entertainment begins. Forks hitting plates, "mmmm this is so good mom" my daughter says. "Why yes it is, Gloria"! my hubby says. Thanks :-/ I dont want this juice I feel like slamming it against the beautiful imported tile and making it and the walls turn green! But instead I pray to the Lord.
Lord help me I need to be an example for my daughter. So she will know she can resist anything if she prays to you, remain strong and be willing to listen. Here I go sip, slurp, sip. I say out loud yup V8!
Every-ones tummy is full! I make a sad face. Hubby says, "what's wrong baby"? I say as nice and charming as I can, "try this". Hubby replies, "Oh no, I don't want to honey!" I look at my daughter and say, "You try it". She quickly replies and with authority, "No Mom, No!" I say to my hubby, "If you don't try it I won't cook next week!" His eyes widened and his face frowns again. His mouth opens and he says, "Ok, I'll try it". Straw in mouth, face shrinks up. One small sip, he says, "Oh not bad tastes like a ripe liquid banana!" I say, "Oh yea? Ok I suggest you eat the rest of that spaghetti, before I throw the rest of this ripe banana in the forest!". Hubby says, "ok honey". Did I throw it in the forest no! Did I want to hell yes! I was tempted the rest of the evening!
Its now 9pm. I need to drink this 16 oz of water and dream abut sherbet ice cream tonight. Pray for me y'all! Good night and Big hugs!
9:05pm
Why am I really doing this? Should I modify? My health is good! I have allergies and a few mild other issues. Thats not bad right? Seems like I have something to prove! Why not drink mean green juice during the day til dinner? Then I can have veggies at night! Hubby's suggestion because he has seen me struggle!
Here I go thinking! Jesus fasted for 40 days. So I have to try it. There must be some good to it! So, let me take this one day at a time. What will tomorrow bring? Lets find out together. Night <3
