i have the breville

havent heard of the nutribullet...off to google

what happened to you..because the juice went into your blood too fast?

[Flavia]

I have low blood sugar and have to be real careful with juices and fruit and such....and with the pulp out of it ....it goes into ur bloodstream real fast....which then later or next morning gave me the shakes etc.....

[Deb]

interesting

i have never had a problem..i do get totally energized juicing

[Deb]

NutriBullet - Watch The Show

its cool BUT i already have my juicer and i have the ninja

wonder if the ninja would do the same? may have to try

[Flavia]

I was suppose to go to the 3hrs blood sugar test...but I was a brat and didn't go...lololol
Latest was that the nutritionist said for me not to do a straight juice fast.....but I can do the program of the NutriBullet if I wanted to...

[Deb]

the pulp is minimal with my breville i find

this is my 4th juicer and its the best

[Flavia]

yup I like mine also for real juice its the best....for sure....

Christina, Mel you are enviable being able to exist on juice ... even though I know fruits/veggies are in there, I need me some solid food If I get sick of cooking I hit the freezer or a can of soup ...bad processed food, but works in a pinch. Your method is much healthier !! When I do make a smoothie, sometimes I like one after a workout I just use my Margaritaville blender. I like to make them with frozen berries or bananas, a carbmaster yogurt, splenda and just a splash of liquid - water or lowfat milk to get the blades moving. mmmm now I want one ...I have some really nice looking raspberries at home.

Lory Expressing yourself is better for our health I have read ... cause if you don't it can lead to headaches, tummy problems ... all that gucky stuff that stress can do to us physically. No thanks I say. I try to use what I call my "politically correct translator" through my head before I say my peace, but I'm gonna say it LOL.

The guys have made me laugh today. Sooo funny.

hmmm i guess there is more to this than i know

we are all trying to survive

[Heheher]

Sorry...i don't function well

[MaterialGirl]

Heather There you are lady. I've been thinking of you. I know Thursdays are hard, every day from what it sounds like, but I am happy to hear from you ! Tell us what you've been up to..how are the workouts? Are your girls on summer vaca now? Will you be taking any trips anywhere? Whatcha been eating??

I had a good day except DH wanted pizza for dinner. I had two slices and red wine. Full but not stuffed ... gotta learn portion control.

Ok I'll check back and see if anyone comes in a bit - gonna work on grocery list for tomorrow.

[gab]

Heather - glad you popped in. Sorry to see you are still having a tough time. .

Do you and the girls do school through the summer or do you take a break? I think the last you posted recently was about a church function/party you were all going to enjoy or try to.

I decided for our final sunday school class to have a waffle breakfast with the kids. Sadly, I think only two will be there. I pray for a vibrant more active community all the time. Meanwhile though, I give my girls (my class) my all - I don't want them to get anything less than the best even though we are so small.

[gab]

Tori - hope you are sleeping better tonight.

[Heheher]

No summer vacation. Still walking. I eat the same thing every day....when I eat. 2 eggs, 2 slices cheese, 2 slices Canadian bacon and a shake.

[MaterialGirl]

Gab Sounds like you will make a great memory for them !! Hats off for being committed to a quality experience for the ones who are there.

I'm watching Cold Case ... not feeling like doing much tonight so I'll probably go to bed early and get up early get a workout out in and grocery shopping.

[gab]

I'm off to bed as well. Started to read the time machine...takes too muh thought lol

Night

[Deb]

9:30 here

L/B is sleeping and im thinking of taking a run..beautiful nite here

[BlueTopaz]

Good Morning,

Ughhh, woke up with a bladder infection. I get them a few times a year. I just called in to my doctor's nurse line and left a detailed message for his approval of refilling my presciption for more antibiotics. I hope they do it without me coming in.

But I do have a couple of bladder relaxers and 4 antibiotics left over from the last time that I took to hold me over till I get a refill (thankfully). Trinkling a few drops every 2 mins. w/pain is not the way I want to spend my Friday.

Not sure if I will be going to work today - debating that. Right now the bladder relaxers already kicked in and feeling no pain. Love those things.

Laura: Where are you? You've been quiet. I hope things get better at work for you.

Gab: So very thoughtful of you to have a waffle party with your little group. You have a big heart .

Mel: So motivated you are for going for a run at night. WTG!!!

LV: You reminded me of yesterday's lunch. At work, Mr. B wanted a pepperoni pizza and a large was delivered to our table. I ordered a turkey hoagie and ate half and had to look and smell that pizza but I did not give in. Yah for me but I don't feel any lighter today for my dilligence. I did eat mini-meals yesterday btw and drank lots of H2O. Oh well, what did I expect? A 5 lb loss for refusing pizza

Heather: Glad you're back. I was getting worried about you. Even if you're not feeling it, still post daily. It's chicken soup for the Soul, ya know?

Christina: How're doing today? BTW, I did read once that doing more than 1/2 hr of walking at a shot gets you out of the fat burning mode but I'm not sure of the reason why. I'll look into that to see if I can figure out why. Anyway, you are doing great in your motivation to exercise and I hope to hear about more weight losses going forward.

Once I heard that juice is liquid sugar, it totally turned me off to juice but I was never a juice person anyway. Kudos to those that get energy from it. My husband had a 2 ton model and was juicing and now it's with my Vegan daughter. I'm like LV, I like to eat my calories

Speaking of my daughter, she and her DH, Friend and friend's friend are leaving tonight for Brussels, Belgium with a tour to France and Italy. Lucky girl! I was never in Europe. DH doesn't have interest in it I would love to visit Italy, Greece, France and Germany.

Good morning all.

We seem to have lost the hotel magic of sleeping all the way through the night. Sam was up 3x between 10 and 7 this morning. I'm wondering if it was the constant sound of the ac/air unit going that helped him sleep through. We have a sound machine thing but it only stays on for 45 min. Hmm...will have to get the ac in his window and try putting it on fan to test this theory.

I have to run up to church to find out who has the flowers on the altar this week so I can finish the bulletin today. Once they get a new computer, it will be so much easier to take care of. Maybe the woman who was doing the bulletins will take the job back - although she never proofread - misspellings and misinformation constantly. I don't know...we will see if I want to give it back.

I should do laundry today - I didn't get to it yesterday. Sam's room looks like a disaster. I need to get it straightened up. I also want to buy a baby pool for the backyard.

I did better with my water yesterday - though not great. Today - my goal is not to eat any junk food. Just my meals and healthy snacks. I am not going to worry about carb count for now. So far I am on track, Greek yogurt with a lil' bit o' honey and coffee. Maybe I will promise myself to drink a glass a water before I grab anything to eat. That should definitely make sure I get my water in.

[gab]

Wow quiet here...you must all be off exercising

I got Sam's pool check
Ran to church - check
Ate a good lunch of hot dogs and cheese slices - check
Had a bottle of water, about to go grab my second - check
Laundry...still have to get to that. I think I will toss into the washer, then feed Sam. Peas for lunch.

Hope you are all doing well
