Juicing

I started juicing Tuesday night. First, I had some cravings for sugar, refined sugar that is. I was also a bit hungry and irritable for a few days.

Today is my 4th day, and I'm feeling pretty good now. I am down to 1 scoop of caffeinated coffee in the morning, and I seem to be regaining some energy. I can also think more clearly now. I seem to be less stressed too! The dishes are clean, and I don't feel overwhelmed with my life .

After I finally reach my goal size, my goal is to continue running (that helps clear my head too) and weigh weekly. If I've gained in that week, I will juice
For a few days until I get back to my ideal weight. This all sounds like a great plan, but the challenge is getting there. I've never been this big before, so I've had a hard time, but I really think if I continue running and working hard to reach my goal, I will succeed in being happy with my body again. I'm not setting a deadline for myself because I don't want to get discouraged. I've lost 3 pounds in 4 days and I already feel better. I can't imagine how great I'll feel after I've dropped another 35 pounds.

Telling Others
I've made a few Facebook posts, so that my friends know about this life change I'm making. I hope they'll hold me accountable and be encouraging. I've got a long road ahead of me, and I need all the support I can get.
