Just a quick apology that I've been MIA the past few days. With a birthday and finishing my huge massive presentation that I present the next two weeks (beginning tonight), it's been a little difficult to post and update everyone on my progress or my favorite juices/meals. Since July 11th, I've pretty much indulged and even ate *gasp* Fast food *face palm*. However, I haven't beat myself down about it. I looked at the reasons that led me to eat something I really wasn't craving...emotions and lack of sleep. Part of the Reboot is learning about why you eat what you do and teaches you that sleep is so important (other than planning). I'm a work in progress and never will I say I am perfect on this journey. I will share the pitfalls b/c we all have them. The hamburger made me feel greasy and sick to my stomach. I drank Senna tea that night to combat it. It did nothing to meet my emotional need or my need for food. It was like eating empty crap. I still felt bad afterwards (physically and emotionally). I still felt tired...and it wasn't even tasty!
Yesterday I had a salad at Panera. It had chicken on it but I caught myself digging around for the veggies and fruit and bypassing the chicken. It was like $13! I'm like uh dude I so can make this at home for cheaper :)
My plan is to continue to juice and eat veggies/fruit and start learning more about other nutritious ways to eat that will benefit my body and my mind...not just feed it. My cousin (3rd I believe) has been oh so helpful and sending me different links to look into. She's so supportive and we've just now found each other. God sends people into our lives at the oddest times. I'm looking forward to learning more about how to really eat for our bodies and mind and not eat just to feed our emotions.
I really love pasta and bread. However the last few days I've had my share of it and my stomach feels awful. I feel lethargic and I'm wondering if maybe its the wheat in the food. I'm going to look into alternatives to processed wheat. I truly believe, we as Americans, eat too many processed foods or chemically engineered food. We don't know how to read labels or really know what we are putting into our bodies b/c we eat just to eat. We don't care about where our food comes (not all of us) just that its easy to get and convenient. I'd prefer to be one of those people who LIVE to EAT (in the good way) not EAT to LIVE.
Till later...I have new juice recipes to try and share!
Wish me luck
Keep on Living, Keep on Juicing.
