Today is a shorter post than I expected. Hubby went juicer hunting today, but alas, the prey was elusive. He was able to catch a glimpse of it online but the beast won't be home until 3-8 business days from now. Hooray for in-home delivery!<--insert sarcasm there... So my test juicing will have to wait possibly until reboot time. I was planning to take pictures and measurements today as well, but honestly, I am exhausted and do not feel like it at all. Of course, the fact that I hate having my picture taken does not help either. So I will postpone writing about that until the juicer gets here :-)
Instead, let's talk about eating changes.
- Friday is officially day four of no coffee and I am down to one soda a day. This is big. I will confess that I had splitting headaches the first two days, but now...cake. Tomorrow will be my first soda-less day, which means I will have effectively cut out caffeine from my diet. Not too shabby, if I say so myself.
- I am slowly trying to eliminate all the other stuff from my diet, but it's hard. I am almost completely off dairy, except for about half a cup in the morning. No cheese or other dairy foods this week. That one was not too hard for me.
- I've cut out red meat. So far chicken and turkey. Tomorrow might bring fish to the table. I don't see this part being hard either.
- I have definitely increased the consumption of veggies, but I am still having a hard time with adding more fruits and cutting back the white flours, specially bread and bread-like foods.
So that's it for today. I need to hit the hay before I pass out. Thank you again for being here with me. Just knowing you are there reading this, helps me stay the course. Thank you! Until tomorrow...

I'm checking in with you every day, even if you don't see a comment. Just so you know, I'm here :)
I still struggle with getting enough fruits and veggies, too. Veggies especially. I love them, but I only buy fresh and they go bad so quickly. So it's go to the store several times per week, or eat at home together every single night. (Which isn't always possible)
I have a single cup of caffeine per day, and only because I wake up at 4:00a.m. for work M-F.
Glad you see you're already making progress. Little by little!
Holy cow! No coffee?! and soon no soda?! Go Sis! That's huge! I really don't think I could live without coffee.
Im loving reading your blog every day. :)
I've found it's easier for me to eat more servings of fruits when I pre-cut them into a big fruit salad bowl. Then I pack them up in to-go containers per serving. :) Grab-n-go breakfast! :)
Can't wait to see you next weekend!
xoxo
