It's Working

Juicing is going well, I should say. I did four days totally on top of things -- one solid meal, the rest juiced. And then my weekend came. And I couldn't find the time to juice (I clocked it tonight and it took about 30 minutes for two juices [about 15 minutes each], minus the time I spent the day before sorting the veggies and fruits [which worked out pretty well for me; I picked up too many dollar store clothes washing bags and decided they'd work well for sorting meals]); I wasn't in the house the entire day; I was meeting friends and going out to dinner . . .

Excuses, excuses, EXCUSES!

This week will be hard because my produce is almost gone . . . but I don't get paid until Friday. So we'll have some super interesting meals for the upcoming week.

But it's working.

And I should work harder in order for it to work better.

I went for a walk three days in a row. I helped my sister haul her massive couch and chair and ottoman to the dump. I went on an adventure to Deception Pass and walked around a bunch. I kept busy and I'm so glad of it.

There was a roll on my back which has showed up in the last few weeks. And now it is missing. Also, my shirts are fitting better and my pants aren't so tight in the thighs.

It's working.

I've got to work harder.

I'm looking into getting and Elliptical. There's a deal on Groupon for $350 instead of $999. I just can't seem to find out which elliptical is actually on sale -- there's no product number. And, of course, I need to get rid of my treadmill. There's no point in having a treadmill if no one is running on it and I would like to invest my money elsewhere, if you know what I mean. Now I just have to get pictures and put it on Craigslist.

I have to keep my motivation up -- I've got about 17 days before I'm Eastern Bound. Florida is right in my sights! I'm hoping to feel a bit better in my swimsuit then I have in a long while. When I went to Las Vegas in May I was about 200 lbs. Right now, I'm back up at 220 lbs. I know it's unrealistic to think I could lose 20 lbs in two weeks healthfully. But I'll feel so much better, spiritually, if I stick to my juice.

Keep your fingers crossed!

Cheers!
