One thing that hasn't changed is that I LOVE food. I mean, I REALLY LOVE food! Food is always on my mind. If someone wants to celebrate a birthday, a friendship, a good grade and even a weight loss milestone, I think of celebrating in some restaurant with food prepared and served for me! When I'd go to church, I couldn't concentrate on the sermon because I knew that afterwards, we'd be going to EAT!! Even though I may not be considered "fat", I still call myself a 'fat girl at heart'. I am! I feel I just may always think this way.
I had been joking with my teenaged daughter about how much I love food and how it has this control over me. We were watching a show that was recorded on the DVR and as usual, I was forwarding through the commercials, but had noticed after about 1 full minute, I had stopped fast forwarding and was watching this restaurant commercial. Subconsciously this commercial caught my attention. It was almost like an out-of-body experience. I had to shake my had at myself once I realized that I had stopped just to admire the beauty of this entree.
Although I have way more energy than ever before, I still get sleepy and fatigued easily and have learned that I am not anemic. I dont' know what the cause is. I try vitamins, energy drinks and thermogenics and even the best aren't good enough. My thyroid is normal and, well I am just one healthy chick. When I am sleepy, I lie in bed and I try to find something that may keep my interest, which is usually some movie, show or documentary. I had come across a documentary on netflix.com called, 'Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead'. At first, I was going to skip it, just another one of those 'Supersize Me' type documentaries. I saw the ratings were pretty good, so I decided to take a gander.
After watching this documentary, it hit me. Maybe I do need to reset my body. Maybe I don't eat as well as I think I do or as well as I should. I know I eat well, but I'm definitely not consistently getting in pure veggies and sometimes I miss out on my fruits. Maybe I need to buckle down and get this juicer, detox and see what this will offer me. I am hoping to see my hair strengthen and grow, my skin to look even better (although I do get mistaken for a younger 20-something) and maybe, just maybe no more fatigue! Losing weight would be great too, but if I can feel better, I know I will be able to clean my house more and workout more and just enjoy this new body of mine much much more.
Tomorrow is the day! I tried a little juice in my new Breville Juicer and it was pretty darn good. I know this will not be easy, but I have to do this. I know I am able to lose weight without this, so it's beyond losing weight, that's just an added benefit!
I am ready to get Juicetified...
