Well, it's day 11 and I'm down 17 pounds. I'm so excited,because I believe that I will be able to change my eating lifestyle for good this time.I've been messed up mentally since Sunday, I was weepy and full off fear about me continuing  without messing up. It was all self-sabotage, something that always gets me down. I revealed how I was feeling to some friends and they unbeknownst to me (until a couple…

My Wheatgrass Juice recipe will BLOW YOU AWAY! Proteins! Amino Acids! You name it... WOW! I totally made this and DOWNED it after HAMMERING through my Insanity workout! Bring it? Consider it BRUNG! And then I drank this! 

 



Okay... so what is inside?

17 grams of Wheatgrass

My wife says I can consume anything because sometimes I just drink it.  I tell her, "In thirty seconds it will be gone and I'll get all the nutrients and vitamins from it. Then, I just won't make it again."



My wife is eating well and juicing from time to time to help her get more nutrients and vitamins in her body. Much better than just eating breads, processed foods, noodles, etc... This way she is getting a bit of both.



She started with a…

• I have been on an all juice diet for almost 40 days now!  I love it!

  I was asked these…

Just wanted to share these photos.  I'm new on here and am inspired to lose 84 pounds!  I ballooned up to 252! I was 166! My inspiration came from watching Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead.  I blogged about my inspiration and what got me started.  

On my blog you can also see my posts with my blood lab work results, as I raised my good cholesterol 30 points and my 'bad' is so good that the doctor said I am…

Hey there!

If you have been reading anything about my blog you know that I have been doing this juicing (without pulp) with my husband where we can juice as MUCH as we want and I add in 3 meals a week and he adds in 4 meals a week.  Plus 1 night (date night) we give ourselves a night to go out and have some drinks if we want to.

I don't weigh myself but my husband has been saying that  he can tell I have lost weight. I on the other hand just don't see it like he does…

My husband and I are on a modified juice fasting life time kind of program. For today and until we hit our more ideal weight we each can choose to eat 3 meals a week for me and 4 meals a week for him while juicing the rest of the time and in any amounts we want to.

However, yesterday, I did get the itch to eat something  when it wasn't  my meal. So I did nibble but what I picked was some papaya and a few dates and was done with that.  I am ok with this decision because in my eyes it…

Today, I weigh 255 lbs.

How did I let this happen... AGAIN!!!

Raw, not raw... consistency with healthy eating, then undoing all of my previous progress and gaining everything, plus a little extra, back on to my poor 5'2"frame.  You'd think that the constant pain I have from severe fibromyalgia would be enough to make me realize that I have to make some significant changes in my lifestyle, not even counting my future risk of Type 2 diabetes, cancer, and heart…

It has taken three weeks longer than I thought but Today is the day.

My sweet sister's surgery was a success and I have been home a week today, got the house in order, lots of veggies and some fruit and lots of raw nuts laid in and today I am totally pigging out on nuts and raw dehydrated cherries and soaked pumpkin seeds so far for breakfast and lunch.  I am making a huge salad for dinner.

I was telling myself I should wait a couple more days so I could get…

During Cleanse America, I approached the whole thing like a science experiment.  Part of that was weighing myself daily to monitor what was going on.  Surprisingly, I was able to stay objective about it and I actually made some good observations, like, the fact that I lost 5 pounds and did NOT gain it back when my cycle hit.

I have realized, however, that I cannot keep weighing myself daily.  Doing so keeps me thinking like a dieter instead of tuning in to what my body is asking for.…

Almost every woman I know has an emotionally charged relationship with her belly.Whether we are a size 4 or 14, most of us objectify & judge our bellies on a regular basis.

How do you think all of this judgment &…

I can't wait.. well I am a bit concerned that I am diving in again without really being prepared but I always want to make it harder than it has to be with all kinds of raw goodies and really I just need to stock up on lots of great fruit and veggies and make it more simple this time around!

I have of course gained all my weight back.. actually to exactly where I was before I started last Summer.. 24 pounds. 

I feel fatter though.. and less healthy.   I am so…

    I lost my dad last week. March 9th. I had a conversation with myself last month. The beginning of March has filled me with fear since I lost my Grandma Margaret March 6th, 1995.  I lost my Aunt Dorothy March 8th 2001, my Grandma Rocha March 8th 2000.  March 4th, my bio dad had a heart attack that he survived. So every year that thought comes to my head..will I lose someone this year. So March 9, I get the call..Tammy your dad is dead. Total shock..he hadnt been sick that we knew…

I am coming off of my first detox and I have to say the effects are extreme. I am still experiencing a deep cleansing even thought I have been eating my usual diet for the last two days.  It was so nice to salt my food again. I did not realize how much I was over salting everything.  Now a pinch is just heavenly. I really missed my cacao too. Tonight my desert was a raw cacao mouse that was just terrific. I cannot wait for Rainier cherry season I will love dipping those in that chocolaty…

Very thrilled to report that I've lost 8.5 pounds my first week raw!  There's nothing like a good start to help confirm that you've made the right choice for weight loss and health... it encourages me a lot.  I know a lot of the weight lost this week is probably due to cleaning out my system, but I'm hoping for a 1-2 lb. weight loss per week after this initial drop.  I think the diet high in green smoothies agrees with me! …

Tomorrow I begin my twelve-week challenge.  I am combining weight lifting, aerobic activity and mostly raw food to completely change my body.  I have already participated in a couple of the groups on the raw food rehab and have lost 30 pounds.  I have now set a goal of losing my remaining weight and finishing the transformation to a style of life/eating that I want to keep for the rest of my life.  Today I prepare for that challenge by readying myself for tomorrow, day one.

Exercise And Sex Are Good For You

Ok...We all know exercise is good for you. It helps you stay in shape, keeps your heart healthy, reduces…

Yesterday should have been day 8 of my juice fast, but I failed:( I work in retail, so I normally work weekends. But, usually when I have a weekend day off, that's when Ken and I like to go out for breakfast or lunch, something we normally can't do. So, yesterday was the first day I had off from work at the same time as Ken since I started the juice fast, and I was just overwhelmed with the urge to eat, and go out and enjoy ourselves. My mind still unfortunately associates food with joy,…

*always check with your practitioner before beginning any new exercise routine

Anytime you begin exercising, whether you hit the gym, jog, lift weights, or go for a power walk... your body starts getting healthier!  And when you do cardio or aerobic exercise you are specifically elevating your heart rate which helps reduce the risk of heart disease. (You’re also…

I love this juice fast!!!!! Other than the fact that this morning I started out with a watermelon, strawberry, and blackberry juice that was delicious but caused some blood sugar highs and lows, today was great. I felt less hunger and found myself drinking less juice today. Even though I probably should have another juice tonight, because I've only had about 64oz today (normally do about 80) I just really don't want to clean the juicer. I find it funny that I hate doing dishes and being in…
