I finally put the juicer, blender and coffee pot together (respectively) and have been enjoying all three immensely. I’ve never been much of a ‘drinker’ except coffee (and wine!) but I’m kind of digging this juice business. I like it because I’ve never been much of an eater either. I eat to get a taste in my mouth, not necessarily to eat. I like food, but just have never been one to like sitting down to a full meal. Which I do, and then over stuff, but that’s a different story.

The ‘juicing’ works on so many levels for me. If doing fruits, I get the sweetness I crave, and it totally fills me up. I made a banana, berry and pineapple drink in my blender and I am STUFFED. Just one banana, one cup of berries and a small chunk of pineapple. It’s amazing.

The sugar content of that many fruits though is another story. I don’t process carbs well…I get sleepy. We’ll see how this sugar overload works on me.

I’ve tried carrots, celery and tomatoes the past two nights. There’s something about that combo I’m not thrilled about. I’m not sure if it’s the carrots or the celery or combining them, but I get most of it down and then feel a little gaggy. I’m out of coffee so will go to the store and get some different veggies and see how I do with that.

Whatever it takes to get healthy. And stay that way. I heard Steve Jobs is starting to decline. That pancreatic cancer is going to take him out, no matter what he thinks. It’s a killer. I hope the Lord continues to bless him for as long as possible though. And Patrick Swayze too, although he’s really taking some risks by not getting that chemo sooner.
