I could have been drinking this the whole time?

Yesterday was much easier. And I tried something crazy! I like my salads hot - and so I was thining I wanted my salad smoothies and juices hot as well, so I thought about juicing a hot pepper. I was worried if I would even been able to taste it but more importantly, I was worried that putting a hot pepper through my juicer would make all my juice tase like hot peppers. So as an experiment, in my lunchtime juice I juiced a sweet pepper from my garden. It was amazing! It was the second veggie I harvested from my garden. The first was a hot pepper which I gave to Scott's dad on father's day. Now I can wait to try a hot pepper!

What I had yesterday:

Carrot & Beet juice
Kitchen Sink Salad Smoothie: Avocado with juice of garlic, shallots, sweet pepper, spinach, swiss chard, celery, cucumber, mixed sprouts, carrots, tomato, lime and parsley. I also added a little sea salt.
Fruit smoothie: pinaapple, cherries, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries and a banana. (Oh! Yum!!)
Salad in a glass: Spinach, celery, carrots, tomato, garlic, swiss shard, zuchinni, sprouts, parsely and a little salt and hot sauce!
I also went out and after midnight went by R Thomas for another yummilicious Energy Soup Smoothie. They are soooo good!

I am really liking being able to juice a salad. The combinations have all been really lovely so far. When I go through these veggies, I would like to try mixing in some other things, like fennel and radishes! Having all that avocado sure helped. I know that for people who juice feast they dont drink complex fats and fiber like in my green smoothies, but I read that being on a juice feast also slows down your metabolism!! I don't want to do that! I just want my pipes clean! So it may take a little longer, but it is delicious! and hopefully I am not confusing my body too much!!

When I stepped on the scale today I did notice I dropped 4 pounds. I want to be very careful with that. I read where lots of people would lose a pound or more a day on liquids. I also read the folks who stayed raw after pretty much kept off all the weight they lost... people who went back to cooked gained some back. I am not so much worried about that as I am a little worried about making sure I am getting enough fuel for my body. I am taking some supplements which helps, I think.

I am really excited to juice things from my garden. After I move next month, I will be looking at what I can plant at the new place for harvesting in the fall. I am in Georgia, any suggestions?
