Day 1 Juice Fast

I'm starting today! I'm having 2 root canal teeth pulled today that have ached for 4 years since they were done.  I have had lots of health problems ever since (stroke, heart attack). I can feel the aching radiating up to the same spot on my head that I had the stroke.... connection? I don't know, but I'm done with them! I figured I might as well start today since I won't be able to chew for a while! Bring on the detox!
Today I started with 40 oz lemon water, and 20 oz peppermint and detox tea. I had 20 oz water with 2 Tbs silica and I juiced cucumber, celery, spinach, kale, cilantro and apple. I was a little afraid of the juice tasting too green and having a hard time swallowing it, but I was pleasantly surprised with a very refreshing drink!

Not bad considering last night I ate a lot of Christmas left over and candy and my blood sugar spiked up over 600! (My blood sugar meter only read up to 600, so who knows how high it really was!) Took some insulin
(hopefully my last) and started juicing today!
