Dec. 6th & 7th

Well, so far my juicing and smoothies has gone fairly well since I started on December 10th. I am down over 15 pounds. I surely have screwed up also, but get back on track about it.
Yesterday I drank juice all day and today, was on the toilet all day. I must have done something right.
Today, I drank more juice and have my bottle of juice ready for tomorrow with cabbage, bell peppers, celery, spinach, kale, ginger and sweet potato :) I will add more spinach throughout tomorrow and blending it.
I watched the movie : Fat Sick & Nearly Dead and it so inspired me. You can view it on youtube and also Netfix.  I am hoping to be inspired enough to just take my veggies and fruit with my blender to my family's on Christmas Eve and overcome the urge to stuff my face. Doing this will certainly empower me to keep going.
My body feels wonderful.. I have also continued to do my steps and try to gain more every day.
See you next time

starting my photo food log

Well, This morning I had a small handfull of multigrain chips with sour cream..

 For brunch I had red, yellow & orange peppers dipped in chipolte, mock potato salad (cauliflower instead of potatoes and 2T of pasta salad. Fruit of pineapple, watermelon, cantaloupe, red grapes.

For dinner, I had a smoothie with all the above mentioned fruit and veggies and one small apple & cucumber

I did not get in as many steps and will make up tomorrow.

Time to start again

Well here we are almost into 2015 and I have not made it far in this journey. I have lost a lot of weight only to have it find me again. So once again, I am trying only sure hoping it will be different. I have always caved into the pit of food as my family has not been very supportive. Awhile ago, I put my foot down and said "NO more!" If you want me to cook, I will cook my way and it will be vegetarian mostly. I do not mind fish, chicken or eggs.  Pasta is my biggest pit fall and I did not put it on my grocery list this month. 
I have been back on track for about 3 weeks now and am down 13 pounds. I have a really good friend on this journey with me and have added walking to it.  I belong to a few good groups on facebook and is rewarding. I am doing mostly veggies and fruit and also blending and juicing. 
What I would like to do is be honest with myself and write down / take photos of everything I eat. I have tried to that before, but when I didn't write it down was because I wanted to ignore it. Perhaps I can do so this time. We will see tomorrow :)
