Just so everyone knows I am still nursing. However, I don't have a juicer but I have a ninja. Therefore, I am eating the pulp as well. That way I am eating something solid and getting what I need from that. And I'm taking in water and having small snacks here and there. Mostly just light things because I feel satisfied with the pulp/juice mixture.
So here is my story so far:
I'm 23 years old. I have a beautiful 8 month old daughter who I get to have the pleasure of staying at home with and watching her grow.
I hate to admit it but I eat terrible. I only eat when I get REALLY hungry and I know that's not good for me considering that I need that energy to take care of my baby. Plus what ever little food I get, she's getting too. I know that when I"m eating better, she can go longer periods of time without having to nurse as frequently, because my milk is healthier.
So here's my current know how of me:

So here's my current know how of me:
Weight: 117.2
Height: 5.1
Physical Problems: anxiety, depression, low energy, difficulty sleeping, frequent headaches and skin problems.

I'm actively working on ALL of my problems right now so there isn't a need to worry about it. So far I'm making progress on all the mentioned above items.
I'm really embarrassed about mentioning what I have issues with right now but I have to prove to myself that I'm not going to let little things like this keep me in the way of going the distance and fixing my body so that I can become a better person inside and out!
So today I started with having a glass of warm water with lemon juice in it. Let me tell me, I had a massive case of heart burn this morning so that did NOT help. But once I got to eating the first meal of the day with my carrots, apples and lemon today, he went away! Baby girl even wanted to try some and she ended up loving it too!
Carrot-Apple-Lemon

As for the taste, it was actually pretty good. I thought it would taste funky considering that it didn't have anything in it to help sweeten it but to be honest it was nice to not have to sweeten it.
As for energy, I feel really good right now :)

Now as for the exercise part of my day, I do yoga in the morning and in the evening. I've been doing it for the past week and my back hasn't felt this good since before I was pregnant! And even then I still had issues with it.
Afternoon-
I successfully did a half hour of yoga with my husbands grandma linda, as well as went on a walk with her.
Upon returning I am now trying out the green portion of the day.
Garden Variety
2 apples
2 cucumbers
6-8 kale leaves
(Australian Tuscan cabbage)**
1 handful of parsley

Now I didn't have cabbage but I do have broccoli. In the substitution list, it says if I don't have that then I could do this instead.
Not going to lie, it doesn't look appetizing.... as for taste..... well considering that I'm eating the pulp too, it's actually not that bad. I like kale a lot so that doesn't bother me to much to taste the texture of it. I can also say that it does taste a little like dirt but I'm trying not to think about it or else it'll get to me :p
