Pear based juice for breakfast

I didn't get up until 9:30am today and didn't get my juicing done until 10:15am. I made a pear based juice. It had a gala apple, 2 anjou pears, 1 golden yam and a handful of blueberries. The blueberries didn't yield much juice. The pear was the overriding, though not overwhelming, taste of this juice. It wasn't my favorite but it was palatable. I like that orange juice so much that everything else pales in comparison. I think I'll make that for lunch. I feel full and don't have any cravings for whole foods. One third of a day down, four and two thirds days left. I can do this.

Still very low energy this morning and my legs are sore but not as sore as they were last night. I need to get some things done today but don't know if I'll have the energy to do them. I might just have to push myself even though I don't feel like I can do anything. After all I was able to make my juice and clean up afterward even though I didn't feel like doing it. So that's encouraging. Maybe it's one of those things where I don't feel it but I have to do it anyway. I'm really hoping that at the end of this 5 day fast/cleanse that I will have more energy and less pain and inflammation. I'm sure if it goes well and I feel better I might continue it for another 5 days and then just go from there. It will be harder I think when I'm preparing food for David but I still don't have much of an appetite so maybe it won't be as bad as I think it will be.

That 16 or so ounces of pear juice was very filling. I don't feel overfull though. It was just enough for me. I'll definitely make an orange juice for lunch. I'm running low on fruit though so I'll have to make a run to the store in the morning. Sprouts opens at 7am and I'll try to be there right after opening. It's going to be really hot the next few days so going early will be good. I don't want to be out in 90 degree weather hauling groceries.

It is a beautiful, warm day today. I have the front door open so I can smell the lilacs. They smell so good. I'll have to close the door soon though because it's getting warm and the AC is coming on. It doesn't make sense to have the door open letting the heat in if I'm going to have the AC on. But since it's going to get up in the 90's today I'll have to have the AC on.

I didn't take any pictures this morning. I was doing good just to get the juice made. I'll take some pictures this afternoon though when I make my orange juice. More later.
