First day 3 Juice Drink

Ok no lying this is going to be hard. I had to cook for the family today and the smell was intoxicating. I do not want to even describe what I made because it will only make me that much more hungry. The first day is the hardest but it is almost over. I am going to take this one day at a time. I realized today that we are forced a constant stream of images of processed food. I think it is just beginning of my acuity to all things sugary processed sweet. I think I will have to be at the dinner table to say Grace and then head up to my room to read. Yes that is my plan. Day one almost over...

Juice Day #1.

Got up early and went to the computer downstairs to print out my juicing recipes. My son SamHarper came down the stairs and asked me what I was doing. I told him printing out my new juice recipes. He naturally got excited and asked me if he could help. I said "yes" and lets go to the store to get all the stuff we need. So off to our local Safeway to get all the fixins. Came home and Tom was in the kitchen he helped me set up the juicer and we made of first batch of juice. Sam helped push the fruit through the long tube and he was gleeful as the fruits and veggies became my juice. Now the big test, the taste and I got to tell you I was pleasantly surprised it is pretty good.

A little about myself, today I weigh about 310 pounds. I am tall 6'3ht and am relatively active, but I have allowed myself to gain about 60 pounds in the last 6.5 years and now at 48 I am starting to feel the drag on my health. I am still able to do most physically activities but I can see and feel my body slowing down. I need to be here for myself so I can be there for family. This will be hard for me. I am a giver and a nurturer by my DNA and I have to learn to take care of myself first...I'm telling you this is going to be hard. Now off to the shower to get ready for work and start my day. I hope you find some inspiration in my journey I think I may find out some stuff about myself that may be tough to look at but I am ready. Thanks.
