30 days of juicing (off and on) and what do I have to show for it?
Well:
- 15 pounds lost (+-5)
- new found taste for vegetables
- still psyched
- realize its a long term goal and life style choice
- add good things to eat or do to (eventually) get rid of the bad
- have to get the whole family involved
- Too much of anything is bad!
- Takes effort!
More as I think of them.
Just my thoughts, ideas and issues. DISCLAIMER: All thoughts, ideas, stories, whimsies are my own. I give credit where credit is due and will put them in quotes.

It ain't easy...
..being overweight!
But it took effort to become this way and it'll take effort to change.
I get that. I do!
But what the hell! Not this much! Right?!!
I mean 3 weeks of juicing (not ONLY like fasting, but throughout the day) and watching what I eat and increasing my vegetable intake by like 50,000%, and still 11 pounds! WTH!
I'm not stopping mind you...far from it.... just venting!
Thanks for listening!

Discoveries...and tricks.
UPDATE:
I may not like beet juice but just eating beets are good! Some are sweet and they're good for you.
I don't like beet juice! I don't like it! Perhaps it's the fiber (cellulose?) or the taste or the smell...or all three. But I drink it nonetheless, since it's (supposed to) have a lot great health benefits, one of which is to lower blood pressure.
But I found an alternative: beet powder! And wheatgrass powder! And echinacea powder. And kelp powder!
So I make a batch of Mean Green juice and with each glass add a teaspoon of one or two powders.

Journey...
Not the band...but a path..a trip, trek or voyage.
It's been about a week since I've "added juicing to my daily diet (as in 'food intake' NOT the conventional 'diet')".
And let me tell you...it's exciting. And I'm still juiced. :)
I mean psyched.
In my November 25th post I talked about the path I went to to get to juicing Read it now if you wanna.
I watched another documentary called "Hungry for Change" which I learned another trick to losing weight and becoming healthy. Rather that use the word 'diet' which has a really bad connotation and a whole bunch of bad vibes and mojo, a guy (David Wolfe) in the film recommended to "add good" rather than try (and fail, sometimes miserably) in removing "the bad." Which is a GREAT idea.
Eventually, for me it took 2 weeks of adding vegetables and juicing, to come to a decision to renounce Coke and sugar, in my diet. Not cold turkey mind you, but slowly and slowly. In the past month (when I FIRST started becoming motivated to change) I have cut most soda/pop and sugar (in my tea, etc) from my day.
I make about 1-2 jugs of juice a day and drink from them throughout the day.
Some discoveries and tricks...coming.
