Day 2..trucking on

Well day 2 of juicing. Last night was just difficult when it came to wanting food I won't eat right now. I craved a huge plate of lasagna with lots of dripping cheese and bread..lots and lots of bread. I sat in my truck on the phone with Sheryl and Karen (who is also juicing) to get me over the hump (yes I whined a lot!). I combated it with working out. I started 30 day Shred with Jillian Michaels...level 1 kicked my BUTT!  My thighs and stomach feel achey but nothing I can't handle today.
Today I woke up late...I was avoiding the kitchen...until I could no longer ignore my hunger pains. Made juice I enjoy and some newer ones. I struggled with the green lemonade yesterday and it may just take time to get there with that green of a juice. I used to like it. Build up to the heavier green juices is what I"m going to work on! The hunger pains are here and knocking heavily on my thoughts. It took a lot of will power not to stop and get a chicken salad sarnie from a little diner I enjoy. I just drank my carrot-apple-lemon juice and tried to think about other things...like scheduling for work. Helping a little but man is this still hard.
Tonight I go see if I can do east coast swing...should be interesting!

Keep juicing, keep living...Life is responsibility...LIVE IT

Day 1--Hunger Pains and sleepiness

I'm one drink number 2 and its almost lunch time. I started off with one of my favorite drinks Sweet n Tart Citrus and man oh man was it a shot to my taste buds. Normally it would have been a medium dr pepper with a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit from Hardee's but this was definitely better. I've had tea also (herbal) and my 2nd juice was a good combination but I now have this issue with cucumber juice. I  gagged drinking it..I don't know if it was the smell or the taste. I have a friend (Karen) who also has this aversion to cucumber juice. I wonder if its a mental thing or something I really can't tolerate.
I will tell you, although I have shots of energy with the juice, I'm definitely sleepy in my body but my mind is like ZOOOOM ZOOOm ZOOOOOooooOOOM so sleep would be out of the question. My stomach is smelling  ramen noodles and wanting them but yeah how healthy are ramen noodles? ZILCH? My stomach is hurting b/c its hungry but again weighing 213lbs, I'd expect it to be hurting with just 2 juices! Its nothing I can't overcome b/c this is part of the process. Hopefully I won't be too uh cranky...the first 3 days will be hell but in the long run, I'll be healthier, happier, and under 200 lbs!
Cheers *tips juice up*

Keep Drinking, Keep Living, Life is a Responsibility, Live it!

Long Hiatus..now I'm back

Sickness does wanders to the body as well as the mind; in my case bad habits came back and so did the weight. Since my last post, I've ingested I don't know how much fast food (crap), soda and altogether stuff I want to avoid. I can blame stress or mainly take responsibility for my lack of handling stress to falling back to eating as I have always done feeling worse and worse day by day. So now I'm back, not b/c its a new years resolution, but b/c the scale moves up, my health moves down and so does my healthy thoughts about myself. No way to live life. I recall how good I felt whilst juicing and would oh so like those days back (the plus side, I could fit into clothes I own that take over my closet but are unworn).  Life is a responsibility and since I am living, I take the responsibility of myself to be healthy instead of living life behind a fast food bag, dr pepper and food that does nothing for me. Make over in many ways...
I have one more juice to complete for tomorrow. I will tell you, I gag at the smell of green lemonade though I know I once liked it. I wonder if this is going to be a new battle to win in my head?
Keep juicing, keep living...life is a responsibility, will I hide or will I face it head on?
