Juice 101


A couple weekends ago, I watched Hungry for Change on Netflix (a great documentary by the way!), and was inspired to try juicing.  That's all well and good if you happen to have a juicer, and we didn't, but still inspiring.  I thought about about splashing out on a juicer for the next couple of weeks, but then, just before I took the plunge, my in-laws gave us a Magic Bullet!  Great timing!!! The Bullet came with a juicing attachment, so I was able to give it a try.

All the reviews I read online before trying the attachment warned that it was terrible, but so far so good!  Sure it's not the best system in the world (my cabinets have been covered in nutritional goodness more than once), but it'll work for now!

I'm actually considering a juice fast... Just for a week or so...  We'll see...

Some days are stressful...

                         

     Today's stressful feel technically began with a sneeze yesterday...  One little sneeze, and I knew that I was in for a spring cold...  Ugh!  My instincts proved correct when I woke up with the scratchiest of throats and watery eyes.  No amount of tea could seem to fix my problem...

     Today was also the first day of our fiscal year at my place of work, and unfortunately, my job is one that is actually affected by this annual milestone.  The first day of FY2015 means that it's time for me to scramble to wrap up everyone else's loose ends, while still plugging along with my daily duties.  Accounting.

     When I tore off my Mary Englebreit calendar page this morning, I knew it was perfectly suited for the day.  

     Tricky though it was, I made it through & hope to feel a bit better tomorrow.  I have a sneaking suspicion I'll need a clear head to clean up today's mess!
