Yuk...

Starting all over again on Monday. Went to my Mom's house and ate freely. Yum, biscuits and bacon. One good thing is I made lentil soup, full of veggies. Going to Curves also. But I thoroughly enjoyed the trip.

Co-op Raw Foods

Going to order a share of raw foods from a local co-op next week. Looking forward to eating some local fruit and vegetables. Sounds so good and healthy.

Great Smoothie

I made a protein shake this morning, and it was good. I've made a smoothie this evening out of spinach, summer squash and an apple. It is great. Should have gone to Curves this afternoon, but I didn't want to. There, I said it. I'll go tomorrow and won't feel guilty. Yea!!! 

Drinking Tea

Here I am drinking tea like an Englishman. I had some apple and cinnamon tea and thought I would try it. Delicious. I'm finally coming off the caffeine treadmill. No coffee or Pepsi in 6 days. So I'm going to drink the healthier brew now. Can't say I won't every drink caffeine beverages, but not on a daily basis for a pick me up. All it does is spike my blood sugar and that's BAD.

Working Out...

Worked out at Curves today and actually sweat.  I really pushed it for the shape I'm in. Felt good though. They are closed during the weekend. So I need to find some other form of exercise, like ride my bike at midnight when it is a little cooler :)

Eating other than smoothies...

I've decided to eat a small amount today with my smoothies. Major part of my intake will be green smoothies, but a small amount of veggies will be good also. Maybe a few almonds.

I cooked lentils with carrots, squash, rotel tomatoes and a very small amount of low cal turkey sausage. It was delicious. I'm feeling good, but a little tired. That is to be expected when the toxins start moving out of your body. Not drinking enough water. "GOT TO DRINK MORE WATER". That's for everybody. Don't know anyone who drinks to much water.

P.S. No caffeine for 3 days! No pepsi or coffee. Yea for me!

Second Day

Second day on the green smoothie fast. I haven't got the recipe fine tuned yet. Today's smoothie wasn't what I would call wonderful. Not really even good. But it was palatable. I just keep saying to myself, "I love it". I do love getting healthier. Gary ate from Burger King. I was driving and ordered for him. Then we drove off with him eating and me drooling. This is so worth it.  I'm off to work out at Curves...

Mean Green Smoothie

Just finished my first green smoothie. Wow! Tasted wonderful (well compared to what I thought it would taste like). Took about 15 minutes to get out the produce, blend and clean up. It will get less when I get used to it. A lot less time than cooking a meal. You may think "poor Gary, what is he going to eat?" I don't cook often anyway. Gary loves his salad, hence why he is healthier than I am. That man can put away a huge giant salad and love it. Gotta go work out at Curves. Woo Hoo! Look at me get healthy...

Pigging Out at Denny's, oh me...

Yep, that was me at Denny's. How can you justify eating the whole thing when it only cost $4. I had the Slam Special, 2 eggs, 2 pancakes and 2 slices of bacon. I was stuffed! Now when your meal cost $30, yeah, you eat everything. But come on, leave at least a dollars worth. I am so BAD...

I'm starting my juice fast tomorrow and I guess I thought this was going to be my "last supper". Gary and I went Krogering for the rest of my produce to start my Journey. I love that man. He is so supportive of me in what ever I do.

I talked to my Daughter Amy who lives in Dominica, West Indies. They are very limited with things they can buy, but they do have fresh vegetables and fruit in season. She is also supportive of my juicing fast. Gonna get healthy if it kills me:)  Pray for me Amy, that I will stick to it.

Fasting Book

I just started reading "How To Keep Slim, Healthy and Young with Juice Fasting". It is an old book that I've had for several years. Actually I have several old books on getting healthy. You know the kind that is made of paper:)

I'm going to try and read most of them and find out what I'm doing wrong besides shoving food in my face! Need to eat like my dog. She only eats when she is hungry. Unless I offer her people food.

Going to grocery store in a while to buy the rest of my produce. Going to start drinking "Mean Green Juice."  I have lots of recipes, this should be interesting.

Here We Go!!!

I'm starting up my blog again. This time I'm blogging my trip down this road called life. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. I know most of you are in the same shoes as I am. My daughter Amy "liked" a page on facebook. I was curious so I looked at it. It is a documentary movie called "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead". Here's a link to the website. It just hit me like a ton of bricks. This is me!

Gary and I went to the little farmers market after Church. Delicious watermelon, tomatoes, cucumbers and squash. I'm eating tomatoes and cucumbers and my dog is waiting to get a bite. Believe it or not, she loves cucumbers. I figured she would spit it out. She came back for more :)


I have a 2 horse power Vita-Mix blender. It will pulverize anything. No need to juice. Put the whole thing in and watch it go. Out comes liquid. I'm going to store tomorrow to get the rest of the produce I need.

I will be going on a juice fast for at least 10 days and more if I can. It is to reboot your system and get out all the gunk I have been storing for years in my body. Sounds like fun to me!!! So here we (if I can get Gary to do it also, don't hold your breath) go.

Click here to see another website that will explain even more.

Let me know if you want to join the party...
