Juicing: Day One, Juice One

I decided last week that it would be in my best interest to start a juice cleanse.  When I saw my friend Tim for a hike over the holiday weekend, he decided that he would do it with me.  I was just going to pick up three juices a day from Pressed Juicery in West Hollywood, drink lots of water, and make veggie broth and give myself a bit of a liquid cleanse for three days.  Tim decided that he was going to try and make the juices at home using a blender.  He had seen recipes on a website that replicated the juices from the Blueprint Cleanse, but using a blender.

I was skeptical.  I liked the idea of just going to pick up my juices every morning. But I wanted to be supportive of Tim. 

So now I'm in his apartment--because we thought that having a "study hall" day where I come over and write would be good for us as well--and I'm drinking my second 8 oz green juice.  The first was 16 oz.  And it's more of a shake than a juice.  Well, actually, it's a bit more of a chopped salad.  I wonder if I can get away with adding some kalamata olives, feta cheese, olive oil, basil and garlic to this.  I'm drinking more because I want to get full. 

When I was half way through my first glass, I told Tim: "I can feel something moving."  Five minutes later I was in the bathroom.  Cleansing.

Why am I doing this again?  Oh, yeah.  I want to get rid of things I don't need.  I want to come back to a truer sense of self, only carrying with me exactly what I need.  And my boyfriends going to be gone for three weeks, so I'm telling myself that I want to look super hot for him when he comes home.  That's the vain part of me speaking.  But I really want to change my routine around. 

I shaved my head again yesterday, six weeks to the day I did it before.  My Dad's been gone for six weeks.  I think it's time to start making some changes.  I think I need to really set a schedule for myself.  That's what I'm trying to do as well, so that when the Drummer returns, I will have a set schedule for myself that I will stick to.

Oh, so here's the juice I'm drinking:
kale
celery
apple
lemon
parsley
spinach
cucumber
romaine

Mmmm...hopefully it'll make my cum taste better.  Or maybe that'll be the pineapple and apple juice I'll be trying later.  Yum.
