To Our Health

During the holiday season of 2009 we started thinking that something needed to change in our diets. We've been getting pretty comfortable being sedentary at home and enjoying a little more than the normal portions we should be having.  So we decided around Christmas to do something drastic!  We started juicing!
Thanks to Craigslist, we were able to purchase a gently used Omega Juicer - a super turbo juicing monster!  Here's Jay displaying our very first juice, made the morning after Christmas. 

You name the leafy green and we've tried juicing it - spinach, romaine, iceberg, cabbage, collard greens, bok choi, kale, beets/beet greens. We normally add some sweeteners, too - apples, pears, oranges, grapefruit, celery, carrots, cucumber. We even tried brussel sprouts, though not surprisingly that was a one time shot. 
We've been consuming 3 juices a day - in conjuction with smaller portions of healthier meals - for almost a whole month now.  I can say I feel better and as we up our exercise levels I think we'll see some big improvements. 

If you're ever curious about what our dark green (or red if there are beets involved!!) juice tastes like - and I'm pretty sure you'd be surprised by how good it actually tastes - come on over!  The juicer is always ready to go!
