Day 6 and 7 - Weekend Weaknesses

So I didn't write an update last night because we were out all day having a great time!  I took the day off yesterday to have a mommy/daughter day because I have traveled so much lately. We woke up and had breakfast like we always do, and then went to the mall to Build-A-Bear and the Disney Store. We had a great time...and then it was lunch time.  I was thankful I brought my salad with me, because temptation was everywhere!  However, I didn't even take a bite of her lunch, and I was happy eating my salad.  When we got home we decided to set up a water fight with dad when he got off from work (see below). After we ate dinner, which was delicious by the way, we headed out to the movies. I am a sucker for movie popcorn, but I resisted temptation last night and didn't touch any of it.

I did realize as I woke up today that it is the weekend, and this is usually when we do the most damage with bad foods. But to my surprise, it wasn't a problem.  We got a new juicer in the mail Saturday (ours is a 110 and we need a 220, and our transformer is just not doing the job). It came with a surprise book with 100 juice recipes!  I had no clue it was coming with the juicer!!!  Happy six months late birthday present to me.

Our food list is the same as Day 5, just different juices.

Breakfast juice (per person):

   A handful of spinach

   1/4 head of cabbage

   1/2 cucumber

   1/2 orange

   2 cups watermelon

   1 plum

   1/8 cup POM juice

Lunch juice was a combination of whatever we could find in the refrigerator.  I think it had (per person) 1/2 a cucumber, about 1 cup watermelon, 1.5 carrots, and 1.5 apples.  We also had our big salad to go with it.  We are getting more comfortable throwing together juices on our own, but I do look forward to new ideas out of our juicing book.  We did decide today that if this was strictly a juice detox, we probably would have both failed by now.

We went and picked more strawberries, raspberries, and spinach this weekend.  I also got Makayla to try red and black currants.  That was a face that made the entire trip worth it.  Let's just say she's not a big fan!

Chris made raspberry watermelon ices for dessert Saturday.  They were so good, that even the kids enjoyed them.  There was no sugar, just juice from juicer, plus whole raspberries mixed in with the blender.  It was a nice summer treat!

Sunday is the last day of the strict detox.  Starting on day 8, we get to add yoghurt back into our diet.

Game On, Daddy!!
