Crisis averted

Yesterday, we decided to watch a movie after work. Chronicle's been all over the commercials and the premise was pretty interesting, so we decided to go watch it. The showing wasn't until 9:35, so we knew we'd get home around midnight and figured we could just juice then. What we weren't counting on, however, was me getting nauseous. I'm prone to motion sickness and this movie was pretty much shaky cam from beginning to end; I ended up feeling really gross and discombobulated, so when I got home all I wanted to do was sleep. I figured i could just juice everything in the morning when I woke up.

Thing is, my alarm didn't go off and I woke up AT 10am; pretty much when I'm due at work. So, I rushed through getting ready and just figured I'd do shakes for the day; I've still some leftover boxes in my trunk for emergencies like this one. Luckily, Jody was nice enough to get up earlier and juice not only his stuff but mine as well, setting me up for the whole day. What a champ, right? So, I was able to make it to work CRAZY LATE but with my juices in-hand.

It was super-cool of my roomie to be a bro like that and make my juices for me, but the whole while I couldn't help but think of what a hassle this diet has become. Locking away 2 hours each day for prep/cleaning/juicing is becoming a bit of a burden, moreso than I was originally prepared for. 14 hours a week dedicated to the diet, just tied down to the kitchen... man, it's draining and dragging. I'm trying to figure out how I can do a little bit of both instead; maybe a juice a day and shakes for the rest of the time.

Anyways, I'm still going to stick to this at least for the full 15 days. This week, though, to hell with recipes; I'm just going to get a bunch of produce I actually LIKE and see how that ends up working. Maybe exchange kale with lettuce and add some melons and pineapples. Yum.
