The Juice

I got myself a juicer.  I'm terrible at eating veggies, I need the nutrients and this is a perfect way to get them.  Before I even got home I stopped at the grocery store and stocked up on veggies and fruits.

Of course I looked up recipes and tried to figure out what I should get before I went shopping.  I got home ripped that fucker open and started chopping stuff up.  I followed a recipe I found for green juice and the pic is the result.  It kinda tasted like shit, but I drank it.  I could get used to it.  After some more reading I figured out that I shouldn't put so many different ingredients in.  That's what I'm going to try today.  It's going to be trial and error and figuring out what I like and what I don't.  I'm writing down everything I make and what I thought of it so I can hopefully save myself from making some completely disgusting juices.

One thing I kept reading is that it takes so much produce to make juice.  With that in mind, I bought a shit-ton of it.  I was actually surprised at how much juice I got out of what I put in there.  I'll have produce for a little while.  I suppose that's not a bad thing, if I had to go to the grocery store every day or every other day I would probably say fuck it, or at least not do it as much.

Well, I'm going to go make myself a juice.

Back On Track

I did really well for a couple of weeks and I was feeling better.  Then I lost my job.  I know, that shouldn't matter, I should have persevered.  Well I didn't, boo hoo, whatever.  The important part is that I'm ready to get back on track.

The one thing that I didn't fall back on was coffee (mostly because I put the coffee pot away).  I have however been drinking soda like I was before which in turn made me crave all the shitty food I was eating before as well.  Psychological or not?  Probably not, but honestly it doesn't really matter.  The fact is that when I drink Diet Coke, which is horrible for me, I crave more foods that are horrible for me.  That's pretty much a no brainer, don't drink the fuckin' Diet Coke.  Done.  I haven't had any today and I'm perfectly content to stay that way.

Juicer!
I'm going to go buy a juicer today.  I'm watching Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead again as I type this just to gear me up a little.  This film is by far my favorite and the one that really made me want to change.  I'm not going to go all nuts and go on a juice fast or anything, but I am going to make myself juice every day and go back to eating good food.  Fuck the processed shit.  Once I started eating shit again, I started feeling like shit again.  I suppose you are what you eat, right?  Just like the Diet Coke, no brainer, right?

It drives me crazy and pisses me off.  I know full well that I should eat good food, stay away from processed shit.  I mean who doesn't?  Everybody knows that, but then we go through the drive thru.  For fuck's sake, why?!  I did it, all the damn time.  I know it makes me feel like shit, it doesn't even taste all that great.

I've got a busy day and won't be getting the juicer until this evening, so I'll probably do it the first time tomorrow morning.  I'll let you know how it goes.
