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.  :)

I'm So Excited!

Oh it's a good day for sure today.   My juicer is coming today!!  Woo hoo hoo!

Why a juicer?  Well because I wanted one so I can start juicing (that's the most obvious answer).  SO why would I want to start juicing?

Well...I'm tired of being tired and fat.

See a few months ago I watched "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" with Joe Cross.  If you have not seen this movie, I suggest you do because it's really good.

I know when I first watched it, I was in shock at the transformation that both Joe and Phil went through just from juicing!  Neither one of them was on any special diet like protein shakes and they were not starving. I loved that!  It really touched my heart because for the past few years, I have been on so many diets with processed powders and shakes and pills and scooby snacks (man, I hated those!) myself, and all I have really wanted is to be healthy and slimmer.

I got off all the diets and shakes in 2013 and over the summer I started transitioning to eating less meat and more fruits and vegetables. I was having some success with it though I never got the idea of juicing out of my mind.  I just knew that I had to try juicing!

But when?  Hmm....Well the first of the year after the holidays sounded like a good plan which is why I ordered my juicer this week.  For the next few weeks, I am going to be juicing a little bit leading up to a New Year's 60 Day Juice Feast!

My goal for the Juice Feast is to lose 50 lbs and get below 200 lbs because I haven't been in One-derland for years!

I'm so excited!

So for my readers, if any of you would like to join me on my Juice Feast, send me an email or comment and we can do this together
