I can not believe it. First day and I failed before I got started.
It was those strawberries.
...then the coffee.
I have to get started because I have all of that produce and it will go bad.
Can I start for dinner and try harder to avoid the coffee tomorrow?

can I have decaf coffee if I drink it black?
or decaf tea?

No such thing as failed. You just hit a road block but you can re-launch and start again. Remember that this is not easy, so you may have to re-launch for 5 days in a row. Can you remove the coffee from your sight and your house or do other people drink coffee in your household?

I think if you just have one cup in the morning and don't use Sugar, and do everything else right your still doing Great! You can order just about any book you want from Amazon new or used.

My husband is a coffee drinker. He could go professional. I am but a mere amateur compared to him.

And.. those strawberries were screaming for pound cake so there is one in the oven right now. I think I can pass on the cake. I just need to get those fresh strawberries away from me.
... However, I managed to pour the chocolate chips into the storage jar without wanting to eat one. That is huge for me. Tiny victories.

I will be better tomorrow. I have everything prepped and ready to go, so It will just as easy to juice than to pour coffee.

I did really well yesterday. I did eat the last apple instead of juicing it. But no caffeine coffee or tea. (whopper of a headache today.)
We watched food matters on netflix last night. It just reinforced what i need to do to get healthy, so no coffee. More water and more vitamins.

Yummy Fruit Juice Recipes:​

Please be ware of the sugar intake with fructose in fruit juices. In general, try to limit your fruit juices to 1-2 cups a day.

Refreshment in a Cup: 1 whole Cantaloupe, Frozen Trader Joe’s Strawberries – My favorite!

Sweet & Tart: 1 Orange, 1 Grapefruit, 1 Macintosh Apple, 1 Lemon

Citrus Essential: 2 Oranges, 1 Macintosh Apple, 1 Lemon

For the Love of Watermelon: An entire watermelon, all by itself, not mixed with anything else – Excellent for hot summer days!

Always peel your oranges, tangerines, and grapefruits before juicing. You do not need to peel limes or lemons. They add a mildly bitter taste to the juice unpeeled.
