Day 5 of Juicing more and Day 11 of cycle 2 of Paleo Diet!

Oh my goodness! Who knew I would feel so much better by changing the way I eat. Okay, somebody knew and I did too. I just wasn't listening to anyone or to myself.

I have tried juicing and eating healthy in the past but I was not really ready for the life change. Now that I am 10 days away from turning 50, God willing, I wanting to live at least another 50 years (not just exist but live), I am truly taking my health seriously. So, I am making myself accountable for everything I eat.

This week, I am going to add shakeology and fruit smoothies made with almond milk to my diet. And since it is getting warm, I am lacing up my sneakers and me and my dog (Alexandria) are going to the park or lake and walk until we get tired. She's a little chubby too, so she can use the exercise as well.

As always, I invite you, you and you to join me on my life journey. If you are ready leave me a comment. Hit me up on Facebook or go to my website and send me a private message. Www.fat2phat2fit.com

Day 3 of Juicing More!

Today is the 3rd day of getting more fruits and veggies in my diet by juicing.  Again, I am not doing a juice fast or diet.  I simply want to be for healthy and get as much nutrients that I can in a day and I find juicing to be the best way.

Let's look yesterday.  I had 32 oz. of  juice, I had some smoked almonds and red skin peanuts and for dinner, I had a large salad with 2 boiled eggs, 1 link of hot sausage and salad dressing and plenty of water during the day. 

Today, I am starting the day with 32 oz. of juice again.  Here is a picture.

 In this juice is:  Lettuce, broccoli, kale, spinach, carrots, 2 oranges, 3 apples, and 2 pears. So if you count this up, there is about 13 - 15 servings of fruits and veggies.  Way more than I would get if I tried to eat all of them.  Seriously, that would not happen. 

I must say in only 3 short days, I am feeling amazing.  I don't allow myself to get hungry.  I have more energy than before.  I get so much accomplished in a day. 

As ways, have a wonderful and blessed day.

1LOVE!

Changing Course a little!

Yesterday, I decided to change course for a little while.  I am still doing the Paleo diet but I want to get much more fruits and veggies in my diet, so I started juicing more yesterday.  I had juice for most of the day, okay, well all day until late evening, in which I had a few nuts.

I am not saying that I am on a juice fast but I am making juicing a major component  in my healthy life journey.  I am also going to make sure I drink enough water.  At least 10 glasses a day.

I don't plan on going to the grocery store anytime soon. I have enough fruits and veggie for a few days. Then I will go to Sam's Club to get more.  I will only Purchase a sweet at a time.  I don't want to buy to much and not be able to use it before it goes bad.

You know juicing can be expensive but it does not have to be.  There is a program in most communities called: CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), in which you can partner with local farmers for a small fee and receive a monthly box of seasonal fruits and veggies.  Google Community Supported Agriculture and the city or state you live in and if they are available they will show up. 



If you live in or around eastern North Carolina here is the link for the CSA.  http://www.marketfreshcsa.com/recipes.html

Where I live there is also a CSA where you can receive meats from grass feed animals.  I've already signed up; however there is a 4 - 6 month waitlist.  I'm on the waitlist. 

I have been doing a lot of research in order to live a healthier life.  As I find information that is worth sharing, I will share.  I will only share information that I believe in.  However; it is up to you to know what you are getting into.  You are responsible for your own choices.  Do your research. Don't just rely on mine or anybody else. 

As always post your comments, suggestions and/or questions.  What are you doing to live a healthy life? How/What do you eat?  What kinds of physical activities are you doing? We have one body, let's treat it well.  I would love to hear about you.  Talk to me. 

Have a wonderful and blessed day.

1LOVE
