Reboot: Day 3

Here begins day three of my participation in the Bzzagent.com campaign, Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. As a Bzz agent, I joined this campaign a couple of weeks ago and today I continue on my journey of health and rebooting the body. Lucky me, day number three falls on the 4th of July. Day of the barbeque. I woke up early and hit the gym. I spent about 45 minutes there and went across the street to Trader Joe's for some more supplies. I picked up some kale, spinach, apples, lemons, celery and garlic. The whole load cost $16. I came home and immediately whipped up a batch of the previous ingredients plus a tomato, bell pepper and pineapple hearts. I called it The Kitchen Sink. I made enough for 2 16oz glasses. I had to ramp up because I was about to embark on a day at the Morton Hot Springs with my girlfriend and her two kids, Logan,7. and Sienna,9. Throw in the fact it's a holiday and 95 degrees to boot, and you have the makings of an exhausting day. After two hours at the hot springs, I was beginning to run down. The closest thing the snack bar had to resembling what I needed was a frozen juice bar packed with sugar. I focused on finishing my water and then we headed back home. At around 2pm I made two more 16oz glasses of The Kitchen sink. I can actually feel the rush of nutrients as they enter my body. I feel I need a more steady influx of food. I have never been a huge fan of the three meal-a-day program so I don't see how it can work with juicing. I am now going to attempt to have a 12-16oz juice every two hours, except while I sleep, of coarse. That might help my energy levels fluctuate less. It's worth a shot. Tomorrow I am back to work. It's a super early start. Ugh, I smell coffee......Thanks again to Bzzagent.com for allowing me this opportunity to participate in the awesome campaign!
