Juicing

So we all know I need to lose weight, that is no secret.  A while back Dave and I watched Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead.  It was a documentary about a man who had an autoimmune disease (uncurable) and decided to begin juicing and then his road to recovery and health and how he helped others.  I really didn't know how to put this into practice.  I tried buying already made juices from the grocery store and that lasted about five days.  I tried pure vegetarian living, but the program we tried had the same 8 recipes and I had a lot of weight to lose.  I just couldn't do it.  Then I found Juicing with Julie Facebook page.  She incorporates some of the ideas from the Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead documentary and she has 30 day juice challenges.  She has a juice challenge that begins March 1st, but I started it on Monday which was February 25.  This is day 4 and I am down 5 pounds.  My initial goal was 5 days at a time with an end goal of 30 days.

I feel so good, I would love to continue past 30 days, but let's just take it five days at a time.  Last night was the first night I slept the entire night in about 4 years.  I'm not sure why, but it felt fantastic.

I just want a place to share my victories.  That's it for now.
