Day 4

Have you heard the song "Oh What A Night."  That was me last night.  I made my salad as I told you about,and had added some spring onions. After eating them I  felt they weren't sitttng right in my system. Another thing I've learnt is not to eat for 3 hours before hitting the sack to give your body time to digerst your food. So tonight wasn't good on that front, as we'd had lunch so late, dinner was at 8.15p.m., a no no for me. 

 I took myself off to bed at 10.45p.m., too late as always seems to happen, and struggled to get to sleep. I finally drifted off then woke to go to the loo, a wonderful post menopausal problem, and they say it's all good.  My whole mouth felt like it was burning, tongue, throat, palate, and I was feeling upset by this. Being in the middle of the night, and  feeling so tired didn't help my frame of mind either. I was convinced the cancer was already present and doing it's work. (Did I mention when I'd gone to the doctor recently he told me if I didn't take those pills the end result would probably be that cancer would get me. Charming huh) I tossed and turned, and Pog, God bless him, also tossed and turned. If only we'd better co ordinated our tosses and turns. The night finally ended, jsut when I was ready to crash out and sleep for hours. My throat was still a bit tender, but had definitely eased off from earlier.

This put a dampener onto my juicing adventure. Rather than jumping out of bed, I dragged my old limbs into the kitchen.  There it was, all bright and shiny new, and unlike me, it was ready for action.  I peeled the carrots, and 2 small apples, and in they went. I turned it on and thought it wasn't working, then slowly I heard a deep growl like noise, and away she went, chomp, chew, twirl and spit, and out came the juice. Unbelievable, but this was fun. Now for the real test... the taste test.

I raised the glass to my lips cautiously, as the juice hit my lips for the first time, it was like a rocket exploding in my brain. The taste was stupendous, better than anything I've ever tasted before. Sweet, so sweet, and not an ounce of sugar or additivies. I'm hooked.

I'm told to have the carrot juice half an hour before breakfast if possible, so I've done, that, as right now I'm prepared to try almost anything to feel normal again.  Regardless of anything juicing is fabulous, and while you get very little juice for a lot of vegetable, the taste makes up for it. 

Off to work for me...... and already looking forward to juicing again when I come home.

I feel thinner, but that could be in my mind.
