It's here!

The juicer is here finally! Well it just seemed like it took forever. It was right on time according to Amazon Super Saver.

I decided I am not going to start completely fasting yet, as my family is coming for my 40th birthday, and they are bringing food. I can't tick everyone off by not eating the food they bring - I'll jus thave to eat in moderation. Maybe if I replace1-2 meals with juice it will be a nice ease into the fast.
The first juice I made was pretty good - I made it with kale and apples and carrots and ginger. It wasn't too bad - just a little earthy. I drank half of it for dinner last night and tried to drink the rest this morning but the ginger had overpowered it and I had to toss it. I made instead a carrot apple juice which was super sweet and tasty. The problem is it didn't fill me like the one with kale and ginger and now I am starving.

My friend is taking me out for my birthday so I will eat lunch today, and replace dinner with another juice. UGH! It's very hard.

Life at 289 lbs

Sucks!

I have almost no energy for physical activity. I coach my son's soccer team which is lots of fun! But, without my son assistant-coaching there would be n0 way I could do all the running needed alone.

The juice fast is another desperate attempt to lose the weight I have not been able to lose - and usually I have only been successful in the opposite. When I did the triathlon 2 years ago I was 250 lbs and pretty darn fat. 40 lbs more than that 2 years later, and I am REALLY fat. This sucks.

Fat, Sick and nearly dead

I finally watched the movie this morning and WOW! I was blown away I am happy not to be as fat as anyone in the movie...yet, but it was certainly a wake up call of the way my life is going at the moment.
The level of success achieved was amazing and surprising. If I could get half the results they both got, I'll be happy!

Juicer...another fail? or the win I need?

My wife and I have been discussing this for a while, because, well, I tend to buy things that end up just sitting around.

I have been hearing the buzz around the movie Fat Sick and Nearly Dead and it prompted me to want to use our amazon points on a juicer. Even though she's skeptical, maybe even cynical, my wife said I could get it for my 40th birthday present. So I ordered it and am literally giddy with excitement. This is probably the most excited I have been about a gadget since I got my macbook pro 4 years ago.

So, now I watch and wait at the mailbox. It should be here any day. Costco here I come! It's time to get carrots, kale, lettuce, ginger, all the fun ingredients to make awesome tasty juices that will be good for me.
