I had a wonderful walk this morning. My daughter had decided to start walking with me.

I must admit my eating hasn't stayed on the straight and narrow......not that I have been eating things that are bad for me.....just snacking too much and too large of portions at meals. Still making progress though. I am ready to hit it hard the rest of the week so I can enjoy a nice Labor Day meal with my extended family on Monday.

Measured my walking route from yesterday and it was 2.0 miles. Walked it again this morning!!

My 300th Post

What a wonderful start to my day! Got up knowing "today is the day". I have been back to work almost 3 weeks now, no pain anywhere...just some age aches (ha), and I am ready to climb the hill!!

I woke up this morning, after working very hard at work this past weekend, and wanted to just get up, drink my coffee, look at the Sunday paper and catch up with email. But I grabbed my walking shoes instead!

Loaded up some of my upbeat praise and worship music and hit the pavement. It was glorious!

I am going to be juicing, protein shaking and eating healthy portioned controlled meals. No eating after 7 pm and excercising everyday.

I feel great and I'm ready to look how I feel!!!

I did a 5 day juice fast last week and it was great. I now am trying to eat mostly fruits and vegetables and a juice once a day. I return to work Wednesday. I am feeling good and ready to get back to a normal existence.

Now I need to partner the good eating with some physical fitness that is purposeful and high intensity.

I saw an amazing documentary 2 days ago called Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. It was about and Aussie gentleman who had eaten himself into terrible health and was on several medications and his ambition to getting back in shape internally and externally. Juicing was his solution. He went on a 60 day juice fast and drove across America sharing with others. At the end of his fast he had dropped a considerable amount of weight and was off all his medications. He headed back downunder to continue eating primarly fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds and legumes and to start exercising. It really changed his life.

Well, I headed out and bought a juicer and started a 5 day fast yesterday. I am so excited. I had already lost 5 lbs. eating right and now I am really excited about detoxing and getting back into working out more completely.
