Day 1 - The Green Smoothie Experiment Begins

Feeling very positive at the moment. Started the day with my favourite green smoothie -
  1. 11.15am Ginger Lime and Spinach Green Smoothie. If you'd like to know the recipe visit my green smoothie recipes.
  2. 2.30pm My second pint of smoothie of the day which I kept in the fridge until I was hungry.
  3. 6.10pm Carrot and Celery juice with ginger and lemon. Carrot Juice Recipes
Felt thirsty all day, and drank quite a lot of water. Really enjoyed my juice.

About 9.30 I was busy making Joe's packed lunch and tidying up the dinner stuff after my t'ai chi class when I decided to eat some of the lentil dhal that Dave and Joe had for tea. It tasted nice, but I wasn't actually hungry - just restless.

Part of me still feels that I am depriving myself even though I much prefer, and actually crave the smoothies, juices, and salads that I love to eat.

By being mindful of why I am eating, and how I feel afterwards, I think this will pass. Maybe if I tell myself I have to eat it (the cooked food) then I'll not want it any more!

Hopefully tomorrow I'll be happier keeping light in the evening. It felt good all day, although I was glad I was working at home as I kept needing the toilet with all that water!
