Today my boyfriend was picking me up at 3:30 pm so I drank a pineapple-garlic juice, then I knew I should be drinking a green juice but I needed some time to sort of let my body work through the juice I already had. It was a big pineapple and I did manage to drink it rather quickly. I kinda didn't feel like doing yoga but I ended up doing it anyway because I needed to get some exercise after drinking such a sugary juice.
This is the first day I didn't get more produce. I don't really need any today, but I'm worried about not having any in a few days because of today. Sunday is Easter and some stores will be closed (like the produce store) so it could get complicated. Tomorrow I will be at my boyfriend's so I won't be able to go to my local farmer's market, but we are supposed to go to the one in San Francisco.
I just barely had time to make my green juice before my boyfriend picked me up. He tried the juice and found it to be fairly palatable, although he says he could never drink a gallon of juice a day. We went to pick up his daughter and her friend and I ended up having to try and explain about the juice feast. I think the only part they heard was that you can lose weight and they both want to go on a juice diet now. In fact, I think that's the new official name of what I'm doing now, it's my juice "diet". Whatever.
We went to a vegan fast food restaurant where my boyfriend had a delicious (I've had it before) house-made chick-un burger and marinated kale salad and his daughter had some kind of tempeh sandwich with lots of chipotle sauce in it that my boyfriend said was even better than his burger. I had a juice with "everything" in it, so it was something like beet, celery, carrot, kale, broccoli, garlic, and ginger. It was okay.
We were trying to go to some movie screening for "Berkeley Vegan Earth Day", but it was unclear you were supposed to actually buy your tickets in advance and it was cash only but you had to wait until the last minute to see if they still had seats after you walked to the bank to get the cash and it was just sort of annoying that they couldn't actually tell you these things ahead of time on the website and so we were like "forget it" and we let his daughter and friend wander around the UC Berkeley area while we first sat at a coffee place where I had tea (it's weird, I never order tea at a coffee place) and then later wandered to a locavore sort of restaurant we like fairly well and sit at the bar, where my boyfriend had a glass of wine and I had a kombucha.
The kombucha was fantastic but I'm not sure if I should be having it or not. From what I've read, since kombucha is fermented, it CAN have alcohol - it kind of depends. Like if you buy a pasturized, refrigerated bottle of kombucha at the grocery store, it's not going to have alcohol, but if you are getting some house-made kombucha on-tap at a local restaurant, who knows? It could have 1% alcohol or something. And of course, it does contain tea with some caffeine and I shouldn't be having that. And I definitely felt the caffeine! When I went to bed, I was a little buzzed and wondered if I would be able to fall asleep.
I can't say I exactly had a gallon of juice today, but at least it wasn't a total failure and my boyfriend felt weird eating food while I was just having a juice but I think he's getting used to it quickly.
