Juicyness

Hello all! Haven't blogged in a while...betcha thought I quit juicing. Nope. Not me. I have had my moments of imperfection though trust me. Like the night I ate a slice of pizza at my daughter's birthday party (best bites of pizza EVER) and the Mexican food I've eaten a couple times (SO FREAKIN DELICIOUS!) and the salad I ate the other night (Dang I LOVE salad). I have made the decision not to beat myself up over any of this. I have spent a good bit of time beating myself up over food (among other things) and I am choosing not to do that anymore. Why? Well, because I like food. Actually, that's a lie. I LOVE FOOD!!!!! I think most people do, they just don't admit it. Think about it, most of us eat when we're happy (think: celebration over an accomplishment, or a birthday...), when we're sad (think: breakup ice cream, funeral food...). So no more of the beating up on myself stuff. But the juicing...now the juicing still continues. I am obsessed with it now. I look on Pinterest for new juicing ideas ...okay I look there for non juicing ideas also...like this and thisssss and most definitely THIS!!!!!!! I search blogs for juicing advice also. This has produced some delicious juices...and some total flops...like last week when I found a juice recipe that was SUPPOSED to taste like apple pie...but the blogger LIED because although it tasted good...it did not satisfy my apple pie craving. HMPH! Anywho I'm still pluggin away...and I've lost 22 pounds...which not a soul can even tell but me. That's okay though. It'll happen eventually.

Here is my lunch.......

Spinach, red grapes, blueberries, green apple, celery and a couple clementines...SO DELISH!

Also, I've had a few friends show some interest in juicing. Some try it and some give up because it's difficult to stick to. I want to tell those friends that I love you, whether you juice or not and that my journey to health may not be your journey. I also want you to know that it is okay to juice and eat. Plenty of folks do it. Some folks juice during the day and eat dinner. So, don't give up if it's something you really want. Keep keepin' on!...or should I say juicin' on! LOL

CHEERS!!!!!
