I'm back.

It has been awhile since I last blogged here. Between writing other blogs and trying to stay sane during this summer I have dragged my feet on exercising. So here I am again. Trying to start up again. I have this thought in my mind that one day I will be skinny. I'm sure we all have that same thought. I have done well maintaining so far but I think my days of riding that train have passed. I am not usually one for fads and I've probably said that before but really, I'm not. However, I lately I have been feeling a bit depressed with myself. Not seeing any changes in my body and not feeling it either. Then I saw a video of myself and the one part of my that I always thought was thin...was not. When did I get so pudgy? I don't know. I know the camera adds weight or so they say, but I think that is just an excuse fat people tell themselves to make them feel better. I know I do.
I watched a documentary on juicing and was intrigued so here I am at the end of my first juice fast and I want to take the time to say how I am feeling.

I started my fast out terribly by making sure I had my "last supper" the night before. Wings. Lately they have been making my feel kind of sick so I haven't eaten them in awhile. So, in their regular fashion, I got sick last night. We had a hot night last night so I didn't get much sleep. It seemed no matter where I went in my house I couldn't cool off. So I woke late this morning. Probably about 9 am. I had a busy day planned so I hurriedly juiced two wads of spinach, half a large green apple, two sticks of celery, and a handful of baby carrots. It wasn't bad I suppose. My Breville juice fountain is great. It is quick and painless and there isn't a lot of prep work to be done. I bought mine used. For the most part it is easy to clean. I rinse all the debris off mine right after I juice so nothing sticks but I still have gunk in places I can't reach. I may have to buy a cheap bottle brush or something to clean the spout.
It is almost eleven as I write this and I am not hungry at all. I probably cheated a bit because we had such a busy day today and I didn't have water or anything available so I was pretty dehydrated when I got home since I only had about 10 oz of juice and a little bit of water this morning before we left so instead of juicing I just ate some watermelon. Overall I have not been hungry. I am a bored eater so I am feeling that a little bit right now. I am trying to up my intake of water and have made a conscious attempt to bring it up but I'm sure I'm still not drinking enough. So at the end of day one I am drinking to make up for not drinking while I was gone. I'm not hungry, not tired, not ornery, um....what else do they say you feel? I'm good. That's all I can say. I even passed up fast food today without a problem. We'll see what tomorrow brings.
