Turning over a new Leaf at high speed

ok, the time has come, no more excuses. none. over the past 5 years my health has really gone in the dumper. it's all my fault, i blame no one else. but after a short little visit to a hospital, to help care for my best friend who had a knee replacement, i made a decision. " I DON'T EVER WANT TO END UP IN ONE OF THESE PLACES." so.... the Vita-Mix that has been sitting silent on the shelf for 5 years has gotten dusted off and put into action. this is night one people. first recipe and what i experienced after. here we go.
items get placed in chamber as listed.
2 med tomatoes
1/2 cup celery
1/2 cup carrots
2 1/4 inch slices of med onion
2 cloves garlic
2 lrg shakes of hot sauce
1/2 cup boiling filtered water
start on 1 variable advance to full speed quickly and blend for 2 minutes.
taste, bland tomatoey and garlicy. almost burning lips and that was not from the temp. nose started to run almost immediatley ( i have a chronic sinus infection) and i started coughing pretty rough, probably from sinus drainage.
all in all this is worth trying again, maybe with a little sea salt next time or possibly worchestershire sauce.
