Juicing Fast!
A couple weeks ago Cody and I watched the documentary Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. It truly inspired us to do a juice fast. There are many pros to doing a juice fast. Weight loss is one, but also it's a great way to detox your body. I've struggled with weight forever. I know that getting on diabetes medicine will force me control what I put in my mouth but I'm out to prove to myself that I can gain self control in my eating options. I just went a week without Facebook, if I can do that and come out not really wanting to get back on there, I think I can juice. The goal is to juice for at least 10 days but we are hoping to do it for close to 30 days. It's going to be really hard for us because we both love food but we both need to change our lifestyle. We have been eating organic for years but we need to eat more of natures food. Vegetables, I dislike with a passion, but I'm just going to have to swallow it and retrain my body, mind and taste buds. After we complete our juice fast what's our game plan? Paleo eating. Google it. No grains, no potatoes, and no legumes, etc. I know this is a lifestyle our whole family can do since its naturally gluten and diary free, which is what the kids eats but also great for my PCOS. This has been such a year of growth for me. Homeschooling, no Facebook, personal growth. I feel blessed. Every one has come with struggles but the payoffs have been worth it. So please pray for me these next couple of weeks as I literally 'eat' nothing and drink only juice. I'm sure I'm going to be super cranky the first few days so I'm sorry if I lash out in hunger, haha. I'm going into this with being overweight at 191 lbs, acne issues, no period in 4 months (thanks PCOS), breast pain, fatigued, and not sleeping great. I'll see if all or any of them go away as I do this. I'll keep every updated. It's morning for breakfast....carrots, apples, lemon, and fresh ginger root. So far not bad.
