Juicing Spinach
Every time I juice spinach I only receive a small amount of juice and most of the leaves remain intact. I tried rolling the spinach into a ball before placing in juicer. For those having success juicing spinach, how are you doing it? Thanks

Week 4 -Shred
I begin week four tomorrow. Due to a training class, away from home, it was somewhat difficult to follow the program during week 3. I have to admit I am not really prepared for week 4--have not read the chapter or shopped for food. I am committed to finish the 6 weeks so I need to get it together. :ohwell:

Week 3 Results
Okay, this is the final day in week 3. I weighed in this morning and there were no changes in my weight.....but I decided when I began the program to not let the scale become my only measure of success. The cover of the book reads "6 weeks, 4 inches, 2 sizes" I have 2 weeks remaining......I will continue with the program…

Day 10 -June 29th -Cleanse America-The Finish Line
Today is the last official day of the cleanse. It has been an amazing experience. Eating raw foods and juicing was relatively simple as long as I properly planned for my meals. On the days I did not have adequate amounts of fruits, veggies, or juices I found myself consuming a lot of nuts. I would like to continue; however…

I had fruit throughout the day and a huge salad and berries for dinner. I plan…

Day 2 - June 21st - Cleanse America
Day 2 went well. I was able to drink the 32oz of lemon water first thing in the morning. I continued eating fruit and raw veggies. Although I was eating every two or three hours I was still under 1,200 calories for the day. I will have to find higher calorie fruit and less nuts to meet my daily calorie goal.
