I have discovered juicing! Where has this been all my life? I cannot believe I didn't know about this before now. It is one of the most amazing things to ever be introduced into my life. Granted to say the greatest would actually make my life sound pretty pathetic so I stress "one of". Recently I purchase the Black & Decker Fruit & Vegetable Juice Extractor. It is perfect for juicing up breakfast, lunch and dinner, and at $29.99 (on Amazon) it was quite a steal. Now that I've entered this new world of juicing it is hilarious to see the amount of people that are also juicing or trying to get into juicing. Apparently everyone in the juicing world was swayed by the documentary "Fat, Sick and Almost Dead," because everyone person has asked me if I've seen once I mention the fact that I'm juicing. Although I did see that movie forever ago, it wasn't the second wind that pushed me across the finish line. Normally I do a full on fast for the entire month of January, but for some reason this year the fast seems so hard. It's like I've completely lost my discipline. I thought maybe I could do a a breakfast and lunch juicing then eat a healthy dinner, like fish and salad. Considering I usually meet people for dinner the most, I thought it would be the best way to make me seem like some kind of weirdo that never eats dinner. The first day I must admit I just peed a lot for the first part of the day, but it tapered off after my workout that evening. The second day I was actually pretty hungry after my spinach salad but I thought it might have been because I went running for the first time in 3 months. Today (day 3) I was kind of hungry by lunch....well actually super late lunch- it was almost 5P. So I ate some fish along with a mixture of corn, black beans and chick peas. Disappointingly I was still hungry and ate 2 Clif Kid Z Bars with milk. That's been my desert because it's chocolate but still organic and pretty healthy. I do still have to workout. My legs are horribly sore today- must be the P90X and the running combined together. Tonight I'll do another P90X and MAYBE a light yoga stretch. I just need to lose 20 pounds. Why was it so easy to get out of shape but so annoying and hard to get back in it? Naturally I am not giving up on this and praying that my discipline will grow along with the routine. The first week or two is the hardest, right? I'm not even done with week one, so it seems to early to be complaining already. Here we go..
