A Soft Spot For Food

So today was day three, and let me tell you… I almost broke. Who wouldn’t say yes to a FREE Corner Bakery sandwich? The smell was just so inviting, and it was hard for me to say no, but I did. I am kind of proud of myself. I have problems with controlling my hunger or what I eat so saying no is kind of a big deal. All I consumed today was juice and water. You would think it would get tiring after a while, but I have been feeling great so it hasn’t bothered me that much.

Someone asked me for a few recipes, so I can vouch for what I have tried so far.

Carrot juice, orange juice, apple juice, or any other type of simple one item juice is always always always yummy by itself. BUT if you’re looking for something more complex, here are some juices I have either tried or will be trying very soon :] YUM!
