And then....came the struggle...I've been challenged more the past few days than the entire first 30 days. I've been trying to evaluate what has been the biggest challenge and truthfully I think it's that on the weekends my hubby is around! We want to go do things, including eat out. Then there's the seasonal temptations of Halloween candy EVERYWHERE! and then to follow will be Thanksgiving then Christmas.....it never ends!
After a busy weekend running around and eating out I was up two pounds....depressing :( I found myself without prepared veggie juice cubes in the freezer and nothing greens left so I began deviating from plan. In short, it doesn't surprise me that I am feeling more tired a little defeated. However...
I am determined to get back on track after such a successful month.
I found that Costco has large bags of washed organic baby kale leaves for a great price as well as a spinach/variety leaf combo. I immediately juiced the kale w/carrots, cucumber, green apple, celery, and ginger root. I then filled all my ice cube trays with green juice and when they were frozen I popped them all out into a gallon freezer bag so that I could reuse my ice cube trays. You can store your left over juice in a mason jar or thermos in the meantime. I now have enough green juice to last me the entire week. Making this easy ensures my consistency!
I've also begun peeling and freezing my bananas as soon as the stems are no longer green. Finding ripe bananas can be a challenge I've found so I try to buy a green bunch along with a bunch of close to ripe at the same time because it can take days for them to ripen.
So to myself I say...."hang in there...Rome wasn't built in a day!".
