Day 1...G

Well, so far, have made it through day 1.  Our Juicer is not in yet, but we have been making adjustments in food already.  More fresh veggies and cutting out other stuff.  Most of what I have found in form of research or info, suggest a slight transition period before going all juice.  So today we had:

Breakfast: a smoothie/protein this morning
Brunch: B-day dinner at mom's - Small pork chop, mashed potatoes, sauerkraut, corn bread, and black eye peas.
Midday drink:  I was hungry when getting some, so I made a apple & Banana smoothie w/ Soy Milk
Dinner: A big Salad

Well, not a bad day.  The Brunch was a pre-planned thing that we really had to be at.  The food was good over all, and my main goal was not to over eat and kill whole day.  Plus, didn't want to put off starting.  So, the next few days will prob have some normal meals mixed in.  We just figure that is way it will be.  Plus, we have kids to feed.  That will probably have its own set of challenges.  But tonight, they got a nice side salad to compliment their dinner.  All in all, they seem supportive.  Hopefully that will hold up over how ever long this goes with juice fast.

We are looking to hake overall changes in family food choice.  We figure that by leading by example will be best approach.

Well, here are my basic goals.  I had my last Diet Coke last night.  I thought I would cry when I went for last drink and I had already drank it.  But, sadly we are parting ways.  Bye bye dear friend...lol  also, I want to kick sugar addiction.  This kinda scares me some.  Sugar or versions of it are in just about everything.  Which leads to a whole food/ Raw type diet after juice fast.  I'm not sure where I am on meat at this point, but leaning to cut it down a lot, if not totally take it out of diet all together.  I do want and need to lose a huge amount of weight to get to a healthy level.  This will probably take most of not all year. Maybe longer.

Part of reasoning for juice fast is to just get it done and not torture myself with small changes and setting myself up for failure with not making real changes.  I am committed to big changes that will change my whole life and health.  I know my personality and I know that I am great at 2-3 months of just about anything.  So, I know without a doubt I can make a huge impact and capable of extreme changes to get things cleaned out and on the right path/  My body truly needs to get shocked and detoxed of so many years of poor eating habits.  I will do this.  It looks like once we start the total juice fast, K and I are committing together to a 10 day juice fast or feast.  We may take a few days after juicer shows up to make transition, then 10 days will kick in.  Honestly, we are both very excited about whole process and adventure.

We feel resistance from outside world, but to bad for them.  Stand back and watch something amazing happen...
