Juice Day 1

Day one of the Juice Fast has arrived and with it, no juice. Honestly, I plugged in my previously functional Juiceman juicer, flipped the switch and the silence was quite pronounced. I turned it off, checked the plug, and with greater ceremony than I'd previously considered necessary flipped the switch... No response. I must've sat there fiddling with the switch and trying different plugs for a while but to no avail, the damn thing won't start.

The special thing about juice fasts is that a nice percentage is in the mental preparation, you get yourself all psyched for 7 days without solid foods and come intended start time the thought of eating more than a small hunk of cheese or a little bit of yogurt is a bit unpleasant, much like ending before your intended end date and without preparation can make you feel a little on the yucky side. I am still liquid fasting. Tea and water are my friends. After this morning's experimentation I can say with great assurance that carrots acquire a texture I can't really groove with when put into a blender, cheating I know but I was hungry. If I'm lucky I'll be able to find the paperwork to have Juiceman fix it's malfunctioning brood, which may of course take longer than my fast.

"Now what on earth will I do with all of these veggies?"

Yet, as with most things one must always account for the possibility of user error.... this user's error was glaring her in the face the entire time, hello... the machine won't start unless the safety lock is engaged. almost 10 hours of idiocy... over a safety lock.

bah! I'm gunna go juice a radish
