Tomorrow is the big day...

So, I have been drinking fresh fruit and veggie juice for 4 days now, and I love it. I like that I can get my daily recommended amount of fruits and veggies in a glass, and I even like the taste. 
Really I do. 

Today's juice
1 Green Apple
1 Red Apple
1 Small Orange
1 lemon
1 2" slice of eggplant
2 Ribs Celery
2 Carrots
2 Handfuls Spinach

Taste: 7 out of 10
YIELD: 24 oz.

NOTES: 
Eggplant looks really gross when you juice it.  I came out like this grey/black sludge.  Weird!
I have been told that kale juices better than spinach so once the huge bag I bought is gone, I will get some kale instead.

Tomorrow is the day that I stop eating solid foods and consume only fruit and vegetable juice for 10 days.  Well 10 days is the goal, but I am not going to feel like a failure if I don't make it.  We'll just play it by ear.  Right now I seem to have caught a little virus which may throw a wrench in my plans.  As of right now I don't feel so bad that I think it will stop me from the fast (but I did take some ibuprofen which may be masking how bad I really feel), but I will be playing it by ear in the morning.
