Day 3 Journey to Health and 120lb lose.....

12-14-12

It's day three and I feel like crap still....I am so cold and still have this bronchial thing going on...I hope it's just the results of detoxing. I have only had 1 32oz juice and 1 12oz juice today....that's all I really feel like having. There are some things that I want to discuss, but honestly just don't feel like working the brain that hard today. It's cold and rainy here in Oklahoma, so that doesn't help to the fact that I'm cold..I'm not sure if I already said this in yesterday's blog, but my hubby just got over pneumonia, and I'm hoping that's not what I'm feeling here...Anyway, one of the things that I wanted to do is to come here everyday and blog something about how it's going, and frankly that's all I got for today..I will say that I also keep a written journal, that when feeling better, I will share some of those thoughts here...I hope this makes sense...no editing for me today...Until next time....Live Healthy...

Day 2....

Thursday 12-13-12

Today was a rather difficult day physically. I felt pretty good mentally, meaning my head was in the "game"(for lack of a better word), but the body was truly feeling the hurt...My blood pressure was up and that never happens. I feel like I'm getting the flu. I have this heaviness in my chest, like it is going to turn into a bronchial problem. I'm also very cold. My hubby is just getting over pneumonia so hoping it's not real illness and only detox symptoms....My best friend is getting a sore throat too, so it may be real sickness...Well it's all real sickness, even the detox is real sickness...lol...
I was pretty hungry tonight as well. I had a apple, celery, cranberry juice this morning not quite 32oz and then for dinner I had a Mean Green...yummy...I really like my juicer, it makes juicing a pleasure and not a chore...The clean up is even easy...I also bought a 56pc of green boxes and am making light work of having to juice..I figure that if it's too much work involved I won't stick with it...I want to live my life doing things I enjoy, not cutting and cleaning and juicing all day....I don't want to spend lots of time shopping for ingredients and I don't want my expensive organic produce going to waste either...so I invested in my health and did the right and easy thing...Got Prepared....
If I was to give any advice, it would be prepare for this journey mentally, emotionally, and physically. I like to do my shopping on Friday's and chop and prepare everything on Saturday so I'm ready for the week.
Another tool I found to be quite useful is an app called JuiceRx.  I use Android and it was .99.  Well worth the dollar. I can find recipes by symptoms, or ingredients that you have on hand. It also will allow you to do shopping from a grocery list of the juices you will choose to do during the week..Cool little app..and no I don't get paid for it....:(
Well that 's all for today.....until next time ...
Live Healthy,
Tami

Day 1

Day 1....12-12-12...That should be easy enough to remember..

 

My name is Tamara, but all my friends call me Tami. I'm 53 yrs young, and live in Oklahoma. I'm originally from Los Angeles, Calif. I'm unhealthy and overweight and want to change that forever. This is my endeavour to do so and would like to document my journey and maybe share it with a few others that would like to come along to see how this ends.I hope to encourage and be encouraged by like minded people.  

 Actually I have been doing smoothies and juicing for about 16days now, but have added food in as well..Today I weighed in at 301.4.  Have not done my inches yet but will get them down later. Today I will start all juicing, with an occasional smoothie, and or blended soups. No solid foods is the goal for the next few......well until my body says otherwise.

The rules are, there are no rules.

That doesn't mean I don't have a plan... I know most people have set a time frame to do this, but this is not the case for me.I'm not following any ones plans but my own. I have many times in the past done what was "supposed" to have been done and it doesn't work that way for me. This is not a diet!!! Let me repeat that again, This is not a diet. I'm doing this to heal a lot of health issues that is preventing me from living my life to the fullest. Yes, I have a ton of weight to loose, but that is not the only goal I have. I want to change my lifestyle, at least the physical part of it. I plan on doing that by eating the things that are good for my body and cutting out the things that are not....I believe that with all the diets I've tried, and believe me there are many, the latest one being HCG, that the diet doesn't start with a meal plan, exercise plan etc but starts in the mind.....That is the reason I'm journaling this...Sometimes it may seem like you are reading a personal journal, it may be that way at times. Like I said this is my way of documenting the journey. Well enough for now...I have so many thoughts, they are all over the place. Will end this for now. ..until next time....Live Healthy...
