Will and Jada and Me Too & The Juicing Revolution!

The one thing I love about blogging is the ability to pick up where you left off. Reading through my previous posts it's clear that I was telling one very selective side of my story. Since December, which is the last time I posted, so much has changed, I'm in the middle of so much transition, but this is the ample time to take a leap in the area of my health. So right now my focus has much more to do with health than it does weight loss, although the weight loss will come with the health focus.

Will & Jada Smith

Will and Jada and me too. In the wake of the announcement that Will and Jada, (my all star example super couple), are breaking up, the same is true for me. Not that I would arouse an ounce of the fan fare that they would in their announcement, but this is the first time I'm saying this publicly. Only me and 2 1/2 other people are reading this anyway so what the hay, I am separated from my husband. All the "stresses at home" I documented in December have change from boiling to a quiet simmer at least 80% of the time. I've found that a bad marriage was the primary reason I was struggling in my health and with my weight. I'm changing the blog tagline from "14 to 8...A Path to Weight Loss and Essential Health While Juggling Baby, Business and Boo," to "14 to 8...A Path to Weight Loss and Essential Health While Juggling Baby, Business and Bonafide Change."  While I cant blame another person for decisions that I've made for myself, it's clear that stress is a silent killer. I had to loose some weight in order to loose some weight and that's what I'm in the process of doing.

Joe Cross- Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead

I also have an actual plan this time. I recently watched Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead by Joe Cross. A documentary on how he lost a ton of weight and restored his health all by juicing. I along with about a million others are greatly inspired by Joe's story and more than that, his actions. Tomorrow I start my 60 day juice fast. I am actually excited about it. It's not something I'm dreading at all, I was dreaming of juicing and I cant wait to get started. Joe just video blogged that he completed one year on April 1, 2012 of his reboot process and I think it's not coincidence that I'm starting almost one year exactly to the date of his start. His belly looked similar to mine, lol, he also had many health issues as do I, and we're in the same age bracket, so yep, if he can do it, I can do it.

Heading out soon to get my juicer and all my goodies, will report back soon. But trust, you're not going to see any "before" pictures until there's some sort of an "after." Heheee. I'll document the whole process with pics and videos. And we're off!
