Juice 1 (7:00 am)
We dove in head first. We werenāt planning on starting our cleanse today, but Iām glad we did. The anticipation was making me nervous about this whole endeavor. As a reminder, weāre doing JRINK Juiceryās 3 Day Reboot which consists of six juices consumed in two to three hour intervals. Juice one was easy ā Iād had it before, and both M and I agreed it tasted better than we remembered. It may have been the green smoothies Iād been making us both in anticipation of the cleanse that made the kale taste less kale-y. It was easy to drink and I was through my juice in about 20 minutes. I laid back down in bed for a little (Iām never out of bed this early. Benefit of working from home.) but I really felt like I was ready to get up for the day. Maybe it was the juice. Maybe my brain was just messing with me. I did my normal morning chores (empty the dishwasher, straighten out the living room, feed and walk the dog, make the bed) and was at my desk by 8.
Juice 2 (10:00 am)
My stomach hasnāt really started grumbling yet. Normally, Iād be hearing from it by now after my morning smoothie. Iāve been sipping on my water on and off and kind of convinced myself I was hungry enough for juice two. I was looking forward to trying this one. Wake Me Up: Orange, Carrot, Grapefruit, & Ginger sounded like a yummy blend. The initial taste was all ginger, but the juice balanced out after a few sips. This one also took longer to drink ā closer to an hour ā Iām not sure if itās because I was sipping on it while working or it was just the stronger flavors. Iāve noticed a faint headache most of the morning ā almost like a dull hangover after a night of imbibing. Perhaps thatās the detoxifying, or perhaps itās again in my head. Iām still not āhungryā but Iām definitely more aware of food commercials and reading food blogs is a little more challenging than normal this morning. But Iām trying to amp myself up for the reward at the end (wine party pick-up) and Cinco de Mayo. Iāve already decided weāre having ground turkey nachos.
Juice 3 (1:30 pm)
I loved this juice. The Clean Me Up: Lemon, Cayenne Pepper, Agave Nectar, & H20 tasted like a spicy lemonade. Iāll admit that the mention of ācleanse the colonā made me a little nervous to bring this juice along to an appointment, but I am happy to report it wasnāt an issue. TMI? Sorry. I still have a dull headache ā itās actually getting a little worse ā but Iāve been away from my water bottle for about 30 minutes and I probably waited a half hour too long for my last juice. I sipped on this one for about an hour also, although I really could have pounded it, it was so good. The first sip was super spicy, but by the end, I couldnāt even tell. Iāve downed about 30 ounces of water by now, as well as my three juices. Needless to say, Iāve had a few potty breaks in my day. At this point, Iām trying to figure out the pacing of my drinks for the rest of the day. Iām thinking 4 for #4, 7 for #5 and 9 for #6. That should finish me up two hours before bed, as recommended.
Juice 4 (4:30 pm)
Repeat of juice one. Took about an hour to drink the whole thing again. My headache has become more faint, but my back and neck are killing me. Product of being in front of the computer all day, I suppose. Waiting for M to get home so we can rehash how his cleanse is going. Itās weird to not be thinking about starting dinner, or even eating dinner. I kind of feel like heās going to get home and weāre going to look at each other with nothing to do. Itās pouring out, otherwise, Iād consider taking the dog for a long walk. Itās hard to say if my concentration has been better than usual. I definitely havenāt flipped over to Facebook/Blogs/Instagram as much as I normally do, but my day has also been really busy with work. I feel like Iāve been a little bit more go with the flow in terms of client requests too. Iām curious about how Iāll feel tomorrowā¦especially since I have a two-hour client kick-off meeting.
Juice 5 (7:00 pm)
One more to go. This juice is a Pick Me Up: Beet, Carrot, Orange & Apple. It definitely has an earthy beet flavor, but the orange is pretty pronounced too. M is struggling with this one. Iām not hungry. I want to eat my Superfood Bar, but I think thatās because I feel like I should be eating foodā¦becauseā¦itās dinner. I think weāre going to watch the Joe Cross documentarytonight since it seems fitting.
Juice 6 (9:15 pm)
Last one! We made it through day one. This juice rocked my world. Itās called āBuild Me Upā and is a delicious blend of almond, vanilla, agave, cinnamon and water. So good. I could drink this every day. Also, weāre officially full. I feel wide awake at 10:15. Sleep is going to be interesting. Iām looking forward to day twoā¦
We think JRINK is pretty awesome. Weāre not being compensated for this post and we paid for our juices from our very own wallets.
