Life Is Picky And Getting Tricky

Amy — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 17:41:02 +0000

I don't know about the rest of you, but I've been in such a slump the past week or so I just may kick my own a$$... There, I said it. I have purged the blah's and am moving onto a better attitude. :)

You know how it is. You start off the New Year feeling pumped and ready for anything. Once your plans fall into place and results start coming in, you're feeling great, and it's all excitment over everything everywhere. Then the month of January ends, Februaury creeps in, the full scale of winter gets sickening, and Valentine's Day is just around the corner which = sweet, chocolaty, decadent, treats everyplace. Then, the blah's come knocking, the boring blahs of being ... well, blah. This has been the pattern for me, and it occurs with almost anything I start new that requires long term commitment like my health and diet.

After Juice Fast Trials And Tidbits

Amy — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 22:58:42 +0000

It's been almost 2 weeks since I ended my second juice fast. So far, I've been holding up well. I've maintained my weight and been doing my best to stick to a mostly plant based diet including plenty of green leafy vegetables, more of all kinds of vegetables, fruits, nuts, some lean protein, and little to no simple carbohydrates or dairy. Everything has been going great with a few tidbits, well kind of a big tidbit, like getting use to change...

Juice Fast Day Ten The End – Amy’s Second Round

Amy — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 12:42:10 +0000

I've made it to my last and final juice fast day, day 10! I don't know if I've made it over the carb craving hump, or if I am just feeling the relief of the end drawing near. Maybe, I will know the answer to that question by this afternoon... Considering the carbs, a funny thing happened this morning. I was making the kids' lunches before school, putting together sandwiches, and low and behold a heart appeared in Charlie's slice of bread, lol... Do you think the carbs are trying to tell me that they need some love? LOL... Oh yeah right! How funny and right on with the timing...

Juice Fast Day Nine – Amy’s Second Round

Amy — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 14:01:50 +0000

I wish I could say that juice fast day 9 is going great, but... I woke up feeling ok with exception to feeling pretty hungry and drained. I just don't understand it. I should be like, I dunno, feeling super awesome or something. Right? That's what I was hoping for anyway...at least I think I should be. This is frustrating me. The first half of my juice fast this time around went so well, that one would think that it would only get better. Maybe this is what I get for having such an easy start, lol...

randy — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 11:43:01 +0000

So, it’s almost another week gone by with my natural weight loss plan, and I’m a little surprised how well I’m doing. I’ve been getting back into the swing of things, but still not as regimented about my workouts or yoga as I would like. It takes time to build up the habits again, but I’ll get [...]

Juice Fast Day Eight – Amy’s Second Round

Amy — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 13:36:55 +0000

Juice fast day 8 isn't going so great. At least this morning it isn't. I woke up feeling fine actually. The baby was up at like 5:15 am. We, both, felt fine. Then out of no where this big fat cloud of doom rolled in over my head and has been following me around all morning. It's not raining or anything, but it's close... I don't know what the heck is going on. Well maybe I do...

Juice Fast Day 7 – Amy’s Second Round

Amy — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 13:24:23 +0000

It's lucky juice fast day number 7! My mornings are all going well now, no trouble with anything this morning. I'm thinking about what to do as far as my diet goes once my fast ends. I'm having such good results with my joints, energy, and feeling better over all that I don't want it to end. I can't fast forever and really don't want to. Basically, I want to feel the benefits of fasting while I'm not...
