Stop Trying to Sabotage Me

Well the car is fixed, the juice has been made, and it's snowing outside.  I couldn't have a more better day. 

Today's Juice

Ugly Juice

4 Carrots

1/4 Head of Cabbage

1 Lime

2 Small Bunches of Spinach

1 Bell Pepper

I'm all out of apples until I get to the grocery store so I concocted this ugly, yet surprisingly tasty juice today.

And my cleanse is going well.  Today is Day 9.  I have no idea how much weight I've lost, but that doesn't really matter to me.  I feel good.  Much better than I have in a long time.  I feel like my constant bloat is gone. My skin seems to be brighter. I am definitely more calmer and I believe my blood pressure is down.  My only issue today is my fiance.

He seems to want to sabotage my juice cleanse with suggestions like "Have a balanced meal.  Eat some roast chicken and pasta. Why don't you have a nice big meal for dinner?  Eat some candy and have a hot chocolate"  and what not.  I'm not pleased about this at all.  I feel like he is trying to sabotage my best efforts and it hurts my feelings and pisses me off.

I have been unhealthy and overweight for so long and I am finally doing something about it. I am making a huge change in my life and I am excited and happy about this.  I was hoping he'd be on board with me, supporting this change.  He is, however, not doing that. He is doing the exact opposite with his little comments everyday despite my asking him to stop.

I have heard that in relationships when one partner decides to change something major like quitting drinking, or losing weight, sometimes the other partner feels lost and excluded.  Or maybe they try to sabotage the other one because of fear.  Whatever the reason, it's sad that they do that. As partners, we should be helping, encouraging and supporting each other, not trying to drag each other down.  Maybe I just expect better from the man I love.

My fiance is always afraid I am going to leave him for another man and while I acknowledge his fear, I believe it is totally unfounded. I do not give him any reason to believe I will leave him. I am not getting healthy and losing weight for him or any other man, woman, person, animal etc.  I am doing this for me.

So that's where I am at today.  Just juicing it up, watching it snow, and thinking about my fiance.  I love him dearly, but he's got to stop trying to sabotage me.

All Juice, All Day

Woo hoo!  We've made it to Day 5 of 60!

So far I are loving the juice fast/feast.  The last few days were modified, but today we are going ALL juice, ALL day!  I'm excited cause I can already feel my body changing!

Here's today's video

Day Four: Filled with Joy!

Awesome.  I feel awesome today!

You know I had a little bit of fear when I started this 60 day juice feast, but now, that fear has been replace with pure joy and happiness.  The reasons for this happiness?

1. I am not hungry.  Sounds crazy, but it's true.  I wake up in the morning, have a hot lemon and then 24-32 ounce fresh green juice.  Then I go to work and I am NOT hungry.  Before starting this juice feast, I was hungry pretty much all the time and would eat all day. Now I am not hungry!

This used to be me!

2. I am sleeping better.  I have had issues with falling asleep for years and just in a few days of juicing, I am falling asleep at a normal time, 11 pm,  and getting up around 7-8 am. I cannot remember the last time slept for more than 2-4 hours and now I am sleeping 7 hours a night!  This in itself is a miracle.

3. I have energy that I have not had in years.  Before this feast, I would get up and work, but by noon, I'd be ready for a nap.  Most days I did nap.  Now, I'm up in the morning, I'm working and I don't need a nap.  I'm getting so much accomplished it's amazing.

4. My clothes are fitting me better.  I have been wearing a size 20 pant for a while and just today I went to put them on and they are falling off!  In four days!  HOLY SHIT!

For Reals!

5. I have lost weight.  The proof is in number 4 even though I haven't weighed myself yet and won't again until the end of the month, I have definitely lost weight.  How much?  Who knows and who cares! 

I am very happy and filled with joy today.  I hope you are too.

Have a lovely day, Juicy Fruits :)

PS  Here's the video of the day!

I know what I am going to do.  :)  Today I started my 60 day juice reboot/detox/feast.  Woo hoo!

I weighed and measured myself and man, do I ever need this cleanse!

Anyway I even made a video to mark the occasion.

I am motivated and ready to go!  Woo hoo!
