I tried, I really did, but much like my blogging, I found it very hard to stick with.
But... I'm eating a really healthy diet now, and I believe my initial days of juicing helped me to achieve that. I've stuck to a diet free of sugar, caffeine, wheat, soy and all processed food.
I'm eating buckets full of fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables and at least one or two proteins a day and I'm finding that it's way easier to stick with that and be happy than with a diet of just juice
(even if it was for only 21 days).
What can I say, I'm weak ;)
Quitting sugar is like quitting smoking I think, if not even a little harder.
I quit smoking eight years ago by just telling myself that smoking was gross, it smelled bad and it was bad for me. Maybe quitting sugar was harder because it didn't make me stink! For whatever reason, I made it through the quit, and now the hard part begins because sugar is in e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g.
I find that my shopping has changed more drastically that my eating habits, but I have to say, everything tastes so much better now and using fresh foods to flavor really outweighs any box you could ever add water to.
Try it, you'll like it.
I'm also in love with my NutriBullet.
Perfect for smoothies, soups and sauces. I'll see if I can start a bullet board on Pinterest so you can get some crazy good ideas.
I'm sleeping less and I'm less tired.
Go figure.
Old neighbor Butch was out to do some donkey foot work a few days ago.
We sure miss him and I guess at least if he had to move I'm glad I still have the donkeys to bring him back around on a regular basis.
I still cant walk the pasture without going into rotten heart mode, so Wyatt did the jackass round up with a heard of sheep at his heels wondering what was going on. Throw a dysfunctional Border Collie who has his own ideas of what herding and helping is and trust me, you have quite a show!
We decided to do the round-up early and got them into the pen by the gate at the bottom of the pasture so they would be easy access, and Jack, the (fun size) mini menace, decided to army crawl under the makeshift wire "gate" leaving Snowball our queen (King) size donk behind.
That's a man for you, see's his freedom closing in and makes a run for it.
He was pretty quick to return though with a shake of a bucket and the pleading gaze of his girl, and only put up a little fuss when it came to his overgrown feet.
Next up, the annual shearing of the sheep, also known as my least favorite part of sheep shepherding.
But that's at least a month away so I'll worry about that later.
The geese are sitting on eggs that I think will be hatching within the week.
Goslings are the best of times and the worst of times around here because we have to go on high coyote alert for weeks.
Geese are, without a doubt, the best parents on the farm.
WAY better than chickens, and even better than the sheep.
You probably already know this, but geese can be pretty fierce, ask anyone who's ever been goosed.
Here's a recipe for you from Chef In Training, it looks SO delicious!
I guarantee this will be in my crock pot before the week is over.
