The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Juice Fasting

Book Cover

Book Cover

The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Juice Fasting by Steven Prussack and Bo Rinaldi is a really hand book about Juicing.

I have always looked for information on how to lose weight  and be healthy without relying on dieting pills or going on extreme diets.

In this book the author introduces the concept on going on a juice fast as part of a long-term weigh management system. It also helps to rejuvenate your body and purge all the toxins which may have built up within you throughout the years.

The idea of introducing different type of healthy juices to my daily intake was really intriguing.  There are many different recipes inside which really sounds yummy

For example

– Berry Smoothie

– Apple Pear Lemon Juice

– Pineapple Grapefruit juice

There certainly a juice for you and the benefits of making and drinking the different juices are clearly stated in the book.

My thoughts.

It was certainly fun trying out some of the recipes listed in the book. However I was not able try out some of the juices listed as it can be quite hard and very expensive to purchase some of the items here in Singapore. Certain items were not sold in our local supermarkets so I had to give a miss trying to make them.

Weekend Reflection: Life of a Mom

The road home

Every day starts off similar.

Wake up, wake the kids up if they are not yet up.

Get changed and make sure that all the kids get changed.

Make breakfast or get the older ones to make breakfast for the younger siblings.

Tackle  challenge #1 – Tiger girl

If she is in a good mood it can be a breeze to get her ready for school or else it can be a real nightmare if she wakes up on the wrong side of bed that morning.

These few weeks she has been hesitant to go to school in the morning. I blame it on the holidays that we had been having the past month. Every time she sees both her brothers home she knows that it must be a holiday. It really takes quite a while to coax her out of the house and ensure that she goes to school punctually.

Tackle Challenge #2

Doggie boy is in the afternoon session so in the morning I try to maximize the time with him by giving him 1-to-1 tuition and help with his homework during the before school hours.  While he is doing his table work I would be monitoring him while at the same time preparing his lunch or doing the housework.

After  he goes off to school it’s ME time for me to catch up on my online work/ reading and just time out to chill before Monkey boy returns from school.

Tackling Challenge #3

Afternoons are for tutoring Monkey boy 1-to-1 and overseeing that he completed his school homework. If Monkey boy has CCA on that day  we would have to head off shortly after he returns to ferry him back to school for Badminton.

Before dinner it is chilling out time for the kids as they get their TV/iPAD time then. It is their down time while dinner if being prepared.

Dinner preparation starts after Tiger girl returns home from school. On certain days Monkey boy helps out in the kitchen as part of his holistic learning experience. At 9 year old he is old enough to learn how to prepare his own meals and help out in dinner preparation at home.

After dinner the kids and I have an hour table study/ homework time before story time. On certain nights I do not get through story time with each one of them however I do ensure that we do read at least a short story each night.

How does your day look like?
