Walking

Well it's been a week and no juicing. I really do miss it. I'm hoping to get on teach real soon. 

On another note, I walked 3 days this week. I used my Charity Miles app. This app lets you choose a charity. You walk or run. For every mile you do, this app donates money to the charity on the list. This week I walked for Autism Speaks, The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's, and Stand Up to Cancer. 

So you see, I have been busy this week. Have a great day. Have a birthday party to attend today and need to finish the gifts. 

Two days of exercising

So I have stopped juicing, not because I wanted to, but because I'm out of veggies to juice until Friday, but that's ok because I have taken up exercising and eating in smaller portions. 

Ok, so if you must know, I own Richard Simmoms DVDs. There, I said it! I like the way he presents his techniques. Besides, I have done other videos if his and a lot of the moves are similar, so I am not getting lost or behind very much. The DVDs that I have are 30 minutes each. Yesterday I did one that was not too bad. Made me sweat. Nadia joined in for a bit, but got tired. Today I woke up early and did one while the girls were asleep. I did rock in' to the 80's DVD. Tomorrow I'm going to try to do a 60's one. He play a 60's music while exercising. I can't seem to find my AB workout one. I guess I have to continue looking for it. 

Better get some rest, have to wake up early to take Nadia to Vacation Bible Camp and I'm going to head to the park with Natalia for a walk. 

A few days have passed

Happy late Fourth of July! We had a great time. I do have to admit that I ate food. I did not overdo it. I had some smaller portions than I would have had a few weeks ago. I am down 13 lbs and trying to lose more. I am running out of veggies for these last few days. Tomorrow I will definitely start my exercise regimen. Wish me luck!! 

I will keep you updated. I won't be juicing the entire time, but I will juice for at least a meal and eat in smaller portions for the other meals. 

Still juicing

Ok, so it's been a couple of days since I have logged anything, but know that I have been juicing. Yesterday I started with green citrus juice. 

It was delicious. See that dark green spot? It's ice. I like to drink my juices with ice. 

This morning I had carrot apple lemon juice. 

This one is one of my favorite juices. It's tart, but delicious! Natalia even likes this one. For dinner and dessert I had Joes Green Machine juice and Watermelon bliss. Surprisingly, Nadia liked the watermelon bliss one. It has watermelon, lime, and basil. 

Left is green machine and right is watermelon bliss. 

So sorry!!

Well I have missed a few days because I got off the wagon. Tomorrow, it's back to business. I'm starting off with green citrus. I can't wait until snack time because I get to juice watermelon. That should be fun.

I have to tell you that being off the wagon wasn't so bad. I have been a good girl and have eaten healthy and in smaller portions than I would have normally had. So am I forgiven?? 

Day 11 minus 11 lbs

I have lost 11 lbs in 11 days. I feel great. Since I'm doing juice for breakfast and lunch and soup or salad for dinner, I will start exercising tomorrow. Let's see how it goes. 

Today's breakfast and lunch was pear pie delight. It was sweet And delicious 

For dinner I had the same soup as last night. Potato soup was good again the second night. Anyway, it's late and I'm going to bed. 

Finally day 10, 5 more to go

So today is day 10 and there are 5 more to go. I have had to make a few adjustments due to funds, but I think I will be able to manage. I'm going to juice for breakfast and lunch and have soup for dinner. I will still be juicing. 

Anyway, my hubby made me a compost bin today. I didn't want to throw away all of the leftovers from the juicing so I have been storing them in the freezer. I saw a compost bin on Pinterest, so he made it for me. 

There it is, sitting in our backyard under our tree. 

My 15 month old loves these juices. Today she would not let my juice go. Here she is enjoying some sips. 

Tonight, I made potato soup and it was delicious. I only had one serving, but very tempting to have another. 

Lets see how tomorrow goes. Another day and I'm still on it. :-)
