I haven't even had my first juice yet but I just have a couple things I had to say. I woke up this morning feeling only what I can describe as bright. I didn't feel groggy or achey. I didn't have a headache and I am not feeling hungry or deprived at all! I feel like I could exercise. I don't want to depress myself by doing that yet. Lol
And while I don't want to focus on the numbers... I am exactly five pounds down!
Day three, here I come!!!!!
So here I am. Five foot two and my home scale says I weigh 297.6.
I have asthma, depression, anxiety, thyroid issues, trouble sleeping. I have headaches and about the only thing that doesn't hurt on me is my elbows!
I take one step at a time with the same foot forward on my stairs due to knee pain. I have noticed in the last four months that every day I seem to be a little weaker. I can nearly walk up my driveway without stopping.
My blood work seems fine, my cholesterol is a little elevated. I am fifty years old. I have been this weight with very little fluctuations for the past six years or more.
I have had two stomach surgeries that were supposed to help me lose weight. They resulted in me having numerous more operations due to infections and various other problems. Some times the surgeries left me bed ridden for months. I had to have someone else come live with us so they could take care of my family while I recovered.
I have a treadmill in my living room that sits idle. I hope to be able to use it in the coming months.
Tomorrow begins my journey to help myself. It is the first time in many years that I have been motivated to do so.
My best friend introduced me to a Netflix documentary called "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead". For the past month I have been diving into the idea of juicing and doing tons of research. I have had the information in front of my face every day in an effort to motivate and educate myself.
I am also making my journey very public. The reason for this is simple. Accountability. Motivation. Humiliation. Education. I am hoping that keeping a public record of my journey will keep me honest and on track.
What I need from you is simple....I need your support. Ask questions. Leave uplifting messages for me. I really need to do this.
