Juice Cleanse Day 3

So today is the first day Nathaniel had to go back to work. 6:20 came way to quickly this morning. I would have loved to have stayed in bed but I heard the baby talking to himself so I knew he was up so I dragged myself out of bed. I felt like I was in a fog and was thinking it was going to be a rough day, fortunately once I had my first sip of juice the fog cleared and I'm feeling pretty good for 7am.


Breakfast:
Going Green (vitamix): 1/2 cup water, 1 cup grapes, 1/2 cup pineapple chunks including the core, 1/2 Banana, 2 cups fresh Spinach


Review: This one you can really taste the banana and pineapple. It was really good. Nathaniel decided that this is a juice he could fully get behind which is saying something since he thought all the other ones tasted the same. I'm not sure what you would do if you're using a juicer though because I'm not sure you can juice a banana. You might just want to mash it and wisk it into your juice.


Lunch:
Carrot Juice: 4 carrots, 1/4 lemon, 1/2 pear


Review:  A nice tasting juice but not very filling. 


Dinner:
Detox Juice


By 9 I was actually really wanting to go to the gym and do some cardio. I'd been trying to do that for a week now but could never find the energy to just get going. I did 45 minutes of cardio. 15 minutes of 30/30 which is 30 seconds sprinting / 30 seconds walking for 5 rounds and then reset for 3 minutes.  I had it set for 30 but I didn't think I'd even make it through the first set so I was surprised I was even able to make it for two rounds. Then I did the bike for 30 minutes.
