Juicing

This is the juice I've been drinking all day. When you mix it up it's just a dark beet color but it sure was pretty while I was making it. 
I'm roughly 20 hours into a 72 hour juice cleanse/fast/whatever. I'm pretty hungry.
I set a goal at the beginning of the year to complete a juice fast/whatever because I've read good things about giving your body a reset. I'm not particularly kind to my body food-wise so a few days of vitamins seems like a great idea. Ideally I hear I should eat better all the time but...baby steps. 
I'm doing the 72 hour version before I try a full 5 days for a couple reasons- 
1. 5 days of consuming nothing but juice is really expensive. It's a shitty truth of today that it is often cheaper to eat poorly than to buy produce. 
2. I have a lady date on Thursday at Louie's in Eugene. I haven't been to Louie's for years. I'm going to eat some food. 
3. If I make it through 3 days without killing someone I can probably do 5 days right?

Today's juices:
Breakfast: a little bit of almond milk, then a tasty mix of carrots, apples, lemon, and ginger.
Lunch/allllll day: beets, kale, grapefruit, carrots, apples, lemon, and ginger
Dinner: Thinking of creating a V8 type of deal. I need something that's not sweet. 

I feel okay. Just hungry and craving cheesy things like a mofo. And bread. Basically I want like 10 quesadillas.
