Today's first drink

The juice I made this morning came out a beautiful orange color and tastes delicious. I cored the apple today to avoid the small amount of cyanide in the seeds and peeled the orange to avoid the bitterness that it causes. The juice came out even better than before. I just a read a book yesterday that said to avoid the apple seeds and orange peel so that's why I did it. The book is called "The Everything Juicing Book". It has a lot of recipes in it and tells what they are for (shiny hair, backaches, energy, etc.). It was a quick read and very informative. I got the Kindle version for PC on amazon.

I napped longer than I thought I would this morning and didn't wake up until almost 11am!! So this will be my brunch drink because it was too late for breakfast and not yet time for lunch. Though it is noon now so I guess the last half of the glass will be my lunch.

It was more of an effort to juice today. It took more time since I cored the apple and peeled the orange but mostly it took time because I kept having to stop to rest. I know making an eating change like I've done can cause fatigue but I didn't expect to be this low on energy. The juice usually gives me a little boost so I'm looking forward to that.

It's 91 degrees out now and very windy. The fire danger is EXTREME. It's very hazy out. One report said that could be from fires down in Arizona and New Mexico. I'm staying in the nice air conditioned house. I have to go out in it tomorrow though for my follow up appointment with Dr. Koren at 1:30pm. I'll get the results of my 24 hour urine test then. I think that like most of my tests it will be anti-climatic results (meaning it will come back in the normal range). It's just a 15 minute appointment but I have to be there 15 minutes early to check in. Hopefully there won't be an hour wait like there was last time. That was brutal. I don't think I could endure that tomorrow if I feel the way I do today.

My legs are getting sore. It's my right knee in particular that is bothering me today. It hurts on the inside of my leg. I know that the healthier that I eat and the more weight I lose the less pain I'll be in.

I'm ready for another nap. Bayou is already taking one. Smart dog.
