Day 2 of the Reboot

Wowzaa!!!  This is no joke!  So mornings seem to be really easy for me.  I wake up feeling like I could do this FOREVER.  Lunch time can be a bit of a challenge, nothing I can't overcome though.  Of course PB&J is starting to look like a juicy filet mignon, but I manage to get the kids fed and move on with some sort of distraction. THEN dinner rolls around....oh Lordy.  Lets just say last night I went to bed at 8:30 because I just couldn't take the lingering smell of the dinner I cooked anymore.  I sat on the couch a minute ago and considered breaking out the tears.  I know boo-hoo me, I'm who got me in this position in the first place.  I really feel like I have struggled with weight my ENTIRE life, and I'm just sick of it.  I don't care one iota to be super thin, I just want to feel comfortable with myself.  I believe my weight issue comes between my hubby and I, not on Aaron's behalf, (he thinks I'm BEAUTIFUL...silly man), but on my own behalf.  I want there to come a day when Aaron can pick me up, and I don't feel embarrassed because he has to strain himself to do it.  Anyway I am done blabbing.  I must go conquer that thing called DINNER.  Wish me luck!  (weighed in at 226lbs this morning)

Day 1 of Reboot

Ok so I started today off GREAT!  I weighed in at 226 today, down 6 lbs from a week and a half ago when I started introducing juice into my diet.  My day rapidly declined when I had to make all 4 kids lunch.  I survived that by just keeping busy.   My husband and I (well as of right now just I) are redoing our master bathroom, so I was able to finish some stuff we have going on in there.  Once dinner time hit, I thought I was going to give this WHOLE thing up over hamburger patties, stove top stuffing, and brussel sprouts in a butter sauce.  I know....crazy, laugh if you must, but I'm SERIOUS.  I can still smell the lingering scent of hamburger and it's taunting me.  Anyway I hope I can do this!

To juice or not to juice....

I know....weird to start of my new Blog on juicing, but its whats on my mind, and why I actually started this blog, so here goes nothing...ha! 
I came across this girl on pinterest that did a 60 day juice fast, inspired by the documentary Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead.  Well it got me interested.  And if you know me it doesn't take much for this to happen.  I am one to jump in with both feet and then two seconds into it realize, "I probably shouldn't be doing this."  My husband is normally the one to take the hit or our checking account.  Either way I like to refer to myself as someone that likes to "GET ER DONE!"  Ok that was lame...sorry.  I started doing some research on juicing, and actually started implementing it into my diet a couple weeks ago.  I would substitute breakfast or lunch, or sometimes both with juice.  I am happy to annouce I have lost 6 lbs in doing just that :o)  Well...I have decided to "jump in with both feet"!  I know what can I say, its just who I am.  So I shopped around and got myself a WAY better juicer.  A Breville compact juice fountain arrived at my front door a few days ago.  The second I made eye contact I was in love.  Ok I know its just a juicer you say, but gone are the days of chopping everything up.  This thing can take on a whole apple in one fell swoop!  Anyway enough about my juicer.  Today I kick of my REBOOT (juice fast).  Because I am also one to make unrealistic goals for myself, I am going to take it 5 days at a time (Im secretly hoping to go 30 to 60 days).  So wish me luck!  My goal in doing this is to feel better about myself both inside and outside.  So with all that being said....her goes nothing!
