I would eat beets everyday. But yeah, a lot of the recipes have beets in them. I have just been changing them, or sticking with recipes I know I like. I am still getting a pretty wide array of veggies, but am still avoiding kale and beets. I went to Wegman's last Sunday before day one and loaded up. But I was kind of disorganized and didn't get nearly enough. So I have had to go to the store a few times. Tuesday night is my typical night for shopping, and that was only day 2 so that was hard. But the rest of the visits have been fine. I will say it does take some forethought. I will often wash a lot of the veggies in advance so I can just juice them as needed. That takes up a lot of time and it's nice to have it out of the way. It also allows me to use hot water to clean the veggies since they will be going back in the fridge to cool before using them. I prefer the juices cold and cold veggies make cold juice. Pro Tip: Pre-cut apples and put them in a container with water and some lemon or lime juice so they don't brown. It's great to have a bunch of apple chunks handy and ready to juice. I love beets. I would eat beets everyday. But yeah, a lot of the recipes have beets in them.

I am actually thrilled that you dislike the taste of beets in the juicer, because beets are the only vegetable I do not eat. :) I got sick off a dish made with beets when I was a kid and I have never been able to eat them again. Admittedly I could probably eat them now, but because I like everything else there has never been a need for me to insert them back into my diet. That breakfast juice sounds awesome. Did you purchase most of the vegetables and fruits you needed for the fast in advance, or have you been purchasing as you go? I am just thinking that doing this fast would initially require purchasing in advance to remove whatever hassles and distractions from the routine that I can. I know you mentioned going grocery shopping one evening and how difficult it was. I admit that I am using you as a sort of guinea pig for a future juice fast, thinking June or July.

Every soccer jersey should have a number at least on the back of the shirt. (Some people add a smaller number on the front of the real madrid jersey, as well.) Also decide if the girls' last names will appear on the back of the soccer jersey. If these jerseys are being reused next year, then probably not. However, if the girls are owning their soccer jerseys outright, placing their name on the back of the shirt can add a nice soccer t shirts. Add numbers and names to the cheap soccer jerseys design.
