The First Day of the Rest of My Life

Happy New Year!


Well I woke up feeling kinda blah, but that probably had something to do with the fact that I decided to imbibe in adult beverages last night to celebrate the New Year.  I woke up reminded why I don't drink but on limited occasions and after today, I am giving up that crap for good (and a few other things too).

Anyway...so today I start my 60 Day Juice Cleanse.  I got up and made over 80 ounces of juice first thing and drank about 16 ounces.

Because today is such a momentous occassion, I went upstairs, dusted off my scale and did my big weigh in and measuring of my body.  OYE...what a shock!  OK, it wasn't really a shock, but yet it was.  I don't weigh  myself for a reason and this morning when I was standing on that scale I was surprised that the damn thing didn't yell "Get off!  You are crushing me!" or something to that effect.

Really?  Like for reals, REALLY?


 Yep, I am weighing in right now at 260 lbs.  That is TWO HUNDRED and SIXTY, yes, SIXTY pounds.   Yikes!  I'm really surprised I am not in more pain or have other issues.  Seriously.  That weight while being quite a lot and something I am not proud of, is really scary.  I am actually scared for my health.  I don't want to have a heart attack or some other weight related disease like diabetes or blood clots or who knows what else!

SO instead of whining and crying about it or feeling sorry for myself and eating a bag of potato chips or a candy bar or binging on some other unhealthy crap, I am going to do something about it. 

Today I am taking charge of my life and my health and I am not going to quit this time.  This time is different.  Juicing and completing this juice cleanse is just the beginning too.  :)
