I'm doing it

I'm doing it......................
A juice cleanse/ detox that is.

I broke down when I woke up this morning feeling like 10 pounds of sludge in a 5 pound bag. I need a change and I'm really bad at eating healthy. So I did a TON of research. I read reviews, I read studies I spent three hours just going over the best for me.

I bought a reasonable juicer less than $31.00 and a book as a guide for $8.00.

My plan is to do a 7 day cleanse starting on Friday or Saturday I have not decided yet. They say the best way is to ease into it by taking the first 2 days and just backing out your meals one at a time. Then to ease out of it by adding in soups and low carb foods.

We will see I just needed to do something. I eat in moderation and I have not gained any weight since I did the shred for 15 day (fail on my part). But I'm stuck and I feel like I need to do something drastic but healthy.

I used my own saved up money to buy my juicer and book and plan to use my money for the foods that are outside of our normal grocery shopping. If this works I will find a way to work it into our monthly budget and maybe get the hubby on board.

I want to feel good. I'm tired of feeling uncomfortable in my own skin. And I'm tired of having the oh just forget this whole weight loss thing and let me eat my own weight in chocolate or pizza.

I know this will be a challenge but I'm ready. Ready to take control of my eating habits, my weight, my energy, and my self esteem.

I will update the good, bad, and the ugly.

Four Things right now

Four things about all of us right now... Grayson One- This boy has finally found his groove in 1st grade. Kinder to 1st was a big adjustment but he's doing well now. And he is a spelling champ! He does sooooo good on his spelling tests! Two- Hockey is life for this kid. He skates twice a week (once doing a hockey specific clinic and once doing family skate see below) His skills are really growing Three- He loves reading and so we are riding that wave all the way. Four- He has to wear his glasses full time now. What started out as hey wear these when you watch TV that is farther away or when you sit farther from the board has turned into needing them full time. Our school has a local organization that comes in and does eye assessments for free for the elementary schools and they sent home a letter saying get him to the eye doctor he needs glasses (well that was the jist of it) and we since we already had glasses from his eye doctor he just started with tho...

A nice little sweet spot

The sweet spot…. We seem to have hit one. I feel like we have not been in a sweet spot since the twins were about 6 months old. You know before they were mobile and can get into a ton of mischief. When kids are 0-6 months they still like to be held they eat mostly bottles and they mostly just stay in one spot. No issues, you can go places and even though you have to pack up your whole house to be prepared you can relax. And if you are in my family someone is always willing to hold or feed or change a baby. 7-months to 2.5 years old is what I refer to as the lost years. You have so many things you have to do for them they are not potty trained and they are mobile and get into EVERYTHING. Going outside is more work than its worth and with twins they scatter in opposite directions. Three on one is so hard handle in big open spaces. I would often find myself skipping outside time because the work was just too much for me. When the twins turned 3 and Grayson was 6 it felt like we had a ...

Update...

Things have been…..how do I say this different lately. We have been struggling to find our footing for months now. It feels like the hits just keep on coming. On February 10 th my parents were in a very serious (awful, horrible, scary) car accident. My father suffered a stroke (we found this out later) while driving the car. My mother was the passenger and they hit a telephone pole and then flipped (it’s an estimate because no one saw the accident happen) 6-8 times and landed on the drivers side of the car 100 feet off the road. I was still at work when I got a call from an unknown number and for only reasons that God knows I answered it and it was a young girl who had pulled up on the accident and had gotten my mom out of the car and was there with them while they waited for Mercy Flight for my dad as he was unresponsive. It was gut wrenching and horrible and I felt paralyzed. My mother was taken by ambulance to the same hospital they were Mercy Flighting my father to. We got...
