Today is Monday, January 7, and on Tuesday, January 1, I started my prep for my juice fast.
Truly, this was not planned. I had not been to yoga in nearly a month, I had eaten every batter-covered, dipped, dunked, salted, chocolated, frosted, sugared, and cream-cheesed, sprinkled, and / or baked, fried, or sauteed in butter food imaginable, and in great quantity and it was time for that insanity to come to a screeching HALT.
I felt tired, I had a cold / flu thing happening, I looked like death, was dragging and was just done. I've been a dieter my entire life. I've lost over 100 lbs twice! I know what I'm doing, even when I'm doing it wrong, but I have a food addiction. My life has been pretty traumatic up until now, and food is my soothing medicine. It is.
SO here we are. Now. Over the past few days, I have cut all dairy, all meat, coffee, soda, I've barely eaten anything that was cooked. Fruits and vegetables with an occasional handful of walnuts.
After a very busy month with my Etsy shop, I've gone back to my beloved yoga, I'm sleeping better and went through one hell of a detox which included a major 2 day headache, some tears, some insomnia, and today IS THE DAY.
I'll begin my juice fast on this day, step one to my new life.
Yesterday, I bought this baby:
Kevin (husband) likes vegetable juices, those that taste like V-8 (tomatoes, celery, spinach, a bit of lemon, and some sea salt)...I like those too, but I love my fruity juice with some cuke. YUM.
Today I will be 100 percent juicy.
My goal? I want to lose some weight, I want to feel healthy, and emerge in the spring,,, a happier person...simple.
How LONG will I fast? I don't know. As long as it takes...as long as I want...So, for today, I will simply do my best.
