Reboot Days 15-18 - Feeling Accomplished

* Fruity delicious snack!! Tooty Frooty - 1 nectarine (take out seed) - 2-3 oranges - 20-25 strawberries  -1-2 pears  (Creates about 30 oz's, it all really depends on the size of your produce, you can add more or use less) I ended my reboot on Day 18. I miscalculated my dates, and realized that one of my best friend's 30th birthday dinner was coming up, and had to end my fast earlier than I wanted. It was well worth it though,...

Reboot Days 11-14 - Juice Flow

*Added a new fruit to our regular breakfast recipe! Yum!! Cantaloupe Pineapple -8 to 10 carrots -2 oranges -1/2 lemon -3 slices of pineapple -4-5 slices of cantaloupe (makes about 30-32 oz's, feel free to add how ever much of each fruit to your liking) The further we got in to our reboot, the more experimental we got with our recipes! The idea was to stick to the basic as the base, and then add fruits and veggies that we think would...

Reboot Days 8-10 - Feeling Awesome!

*My co-worker being a great sport for my daily post, she's actually a very healthy & active person! =) Days 8-10 was a whole lot easier! I was feeling much better, since I was finally well rested. My skin was feeling super smooth and soft, and people were telling me I was glowing. The pounds were definitely still dropping, and I was feeling healthier than I have ever felt! My energy level was high. and I found myself more focused, even...

Reboot Days 5-7 - Mentally Exhausted

* Kale has now become my new best friend! So after a long night of juicing, for my mother on Friday, we had appointments scheduled early the next morning. A cake consultation, and one later in the afternoon for a florist consultation. I was so exhausted, but I knew this was something that had to be done because it's only 5 months until our wedding!! We woke up early, and had our morning juice and was ready to take care of business! The cake...

Produce Wash Recipe

Washing your fresh fruits and veggies thoroughly is the key to make sure you avoid any pesticides or other unhealthy, unwanted, dirt that comes along with your produce. We have bought a fruit and vegetable cleanse spray from Wal-Mart, and it was pretty pricey for a small bottle. The refills were even more expensive. So I found a more cost effective way to spray down and clean your juices. Produce Wash Recipe: - 1 c./235ml. water - 1 c./235 ml. white vinegar - 1 Tbsp./15 g. baking soda - 1/2 lemon  Mix in a large bowl (to allow for...

Reboot Days 3 & 4 - Juice Love

Days 3 and 4 was actually pretty easy! We were worried about all the horror stories about the 3rd day being the hardest day, but it wasn't bad at all for us. Again, I think the reason why it was so easy was because we didn't jump straight in to a fast, I'm a firm believer now that you should really prepare yourself right and ease in to it before jumping in to a fast, because it has definitely worked for us. I thought by now we would cave and...

Reboot Day 2 - Rash?

On the 2nd day of fast, I noticed that my bite on my back was still inflamed, and now I was getting a mild rash on my neck, inner wrists, and my lower back, all around the inflamed area. So I went back to the doctor to make sure I was okay. Well, the doctor told me it could be a reaction from the cortisone shot, because some people get reactions from the shot. My skin is already super sensitive to begin with. I was also wondering, if maybe it was...
