Wow, Day 17 already!?!?
It's going by sooo fast!!
I've been full to the brim with homework and projects, so haven't had time to update my blogs, sorry!

Juicing is going greaaaaaaat!!!!!!!
Still amazed at how much produce we get through though!!!! :P

Everyone is feeling fantastic,
David's energy levels have stabled and both him and mum are looking absolutely fabulous!
David has lost around 7 kg and mum around 5 and says that her trousers feel 2 sizes smaller!

I am finally getting a hang at making all the juices,
and am actually enjoying it! ...
and I'm concocting a bunch of delicious juices :)))))



Yay, we got some a wheatgrass tray from Manor... 5CH, not too bad!



Mmmmm, I absolutly LOVE wheatgrass/pineapple/apple/spinach juice!!!

Some produce we got:
-20kg apples
-3 squashes
-10kg oranges
-1 crate of grapes
-1 crate of celery




Mmmmmm, soo coool.... the organic stall gave us a selection of different carrots!!!!
:D
Red, white and orange... LOVE it!





Sooooooooo, you might ask, What on Earth do you do with all that pulp!!?!?
Well........ as my motto 're-use, re-use, re-use' we make
Raw Pulp Crackers!.....

OMGGGGGGGGGG these are SOOO good... I know this from David and Mum who might of just had a little nibble to try :)))

Everyone we've given them to loves them, YUM!

Day 2, 3, 4 & 5 UPDATE!!!

Hello!
Sorry, I'm a bit behind with posting!
just been really busy :)

All has been going well, David is already at his target weight goal of 75kg!!
They both found it really quite hard the first 1/2 days, mum finally having an expresso and David deciding he was going to give up smoking a week later! .... ;)
Sooo, it's Day 6 today, nearly a week gone by, and we are all LOVING IT!

David says his energy is so good so far that if it keeps up like that he'll feel fine to do the full 92 day juice feast program!

I've not found it as hard as them, I believe because I don't get the cravings they do for nasty food
BUT this juice feast (I've already done one of 2 weeks before) was HARDER then last times as I'm making all the juices for all 3 of us!
SOOO, I get up quite early (5/6AM) to make mums and David's morning and work juice (1L + 1,5L) which takes around 2H. So, when it gets round to doing MY juices I'm tired and really can't be bothered! ...
I end up having mostly grape and apple/celery juices as I find them the EASIEST and QUICKEST to do, but then at the end of the day I don't feel as good as I havn't got all those greens I should be getting AND I feel I can't be bothered to make much quantity for myself so I'm drinking around 2/3L most of juice a day, and as the minimum recomended is 4L a day, it's way of target at the moment!!
Erg, but I'm kindof getting the knack of making all this juice (around 9L a day!!) but still finding it quite hard and VERY time-consuming, which isn't very practical for my school work/social time....

ANYWAYS ;)
Here are some pics of the last few days,
and our juice diary..
