Juice Diet?

So today, I heard a lady at work talking about the Juice diet. Basically you buy a bunch of fruits/vegetables and become one with your juicer. I can see a benefit to cleanse the body and maybe give your body some nourishment it's been missing. However, I don't think I could do something like this long term. Do I want to cook a delicious meal and watch my boys eat while slurping my beet/cucumber/kale smoothie? Eh, not so much. I think it's great that people are being healthier, but I just know this lifestyle won't work for me. I would get sooo bored, sooo quick!

But, I did start thinking about what I do eat. Are boxed lean cuisine meals better than fresh fruit and veggies? Heck, no. Should I be cooking fish and chicken and getting my calories from fresher alternatives? Yes. So I am going to make a commitment to do just that. I'm not going to fill my cart with pre-made stuff. I am striving to buy fresh meat, fruits, veggies and cook them during the week. Especially if I do a lot of the prep work during the weekend, a fresh meal doesn't take that much longer to prepare. Plus, James can also eat what I'm eating.

I also want to check into some kind of protein shake or perhaps a 'juice' alternative for my breakfast. A 70 calorie yogurt and cup of coffee just aren't cutting it anymore. I need sustenance!
