Day One

So, this is my first post. Mostly, I'm writing this blog so that I keep on track and stick with it for the full 60 days. but, how did I get here? I could say to stay healthy, and that's probably the core reason; however, it's mostly for my fiance. He's really not bad off, but he's not good health-wise. He's always in pain, always tired, and he thinks he's got some kind of internal infection going on. But, he won't go to the doctor, and I can't make him. He worried about work and affordability. So, when I saw the video about Joe Cross, I thought, "This could work." So many people who were sick have done this diet and it helped them. I figure, why can't it help him? Help me?

So, mostly this is for support. He'll tell you he doesn't need me to stick with it, but he does. It's day one where we're strictly on it and he's already feeling like he has the flu; which, everyone seems to get, but not this soon. I know it'll hit me tomorrow or the next day. I have finals coming up (college)... soo... this should be interesting. And it's Christmas almost! All that food is really gonna do me one over--to not eat it. BUT, I know I can. I have to. For him and for me. Our eating habits need to change.

So, day one?

I had some fruit juice this morning that consisted of two apples, two tangelos, two oranges, a knot of ginger, and... yeah, that's it. For lunch I had the mean green juice that Phil drinks in Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead. If you want to know it's ingredients there are a handful of variations online that you can try. I will say this, don't leave the skin on any of your citrus unless you like it bitter. I also discovered today that half a lemon is alright in the mean green, not a whole one. It's too lemony--bleah.

Right now I'm sipping on my late dinner juice. The mean green. They say you need to try and keep it 80 veg/20 fruit and no more or less. It's not easy eating all these vegetables  but it's getting easier as the day went by. We'll see how I'm doing tomorrow.
