Juiced180Degrees

This is why I'm Juicing.

It's strange how in living, a person can lose themselves so easily. We forget where we came from, where we started...and sometimes we even forget our worth. 

I have.  And it's time to find those things again!

Today, is my 13th day of juicing everything I eat. So far, I've lost a total of 17.2 pounds and gained a wealth of energy and feel good power. 

It all started with a documentary called "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead." If you have Netflix it's on the Watch It Now list! Find it and watch it! It's narrated by a man by the name of Joe Cross who sort of gave birth to this most recent juicing phenomenon. He was overweight, taking 10-15 prescriptions a day for various reasons, and unhappy with the direction his life was heading. So, he sought out a way to cleanse his body and get healthy. Taking advantage of the micronutrients found inside the freshest vegetables and fruits through juicing, he was able to cleanse his body of all the toxins he'd been putting in it over the years by food and medicines. By juicing, he was able to allow his internal organs to realign themselves to their original functionality by flushing his system of all the bad things he'd ingested. At the end of his journey, Joe had lost more than 90 pounds and was off all of his medications. In the documentary, you also follow the progress of a trucker driver that Joe found on his journey. This guy went from a 6XL to a 2XL over the course of a few months. On top of that, he was able to be taken off all his medicines as well.

It's amazing what our bodies can do for themselves if we just get out of the way and let it function as it should. 

So, we got a juicer and lots of fruits and veggies! And here I am 13 days later and 17.2 pounds lighter! 

I'm committed to this new lifestyle. Because that's what it is...a lifestyle. It's not a diet, it's not a quick fix...it's a change in habit and a change in lifestyle. 

It's not easy. 

But it's right. 

I've been sharing my success with my Facebook Friends and some of them have been really interested in what I'm doing. What recipes, how long do you do it for, do you feel hungry...all questions I've been asked. I felt like this was the best way to give the information! So, follow the blog if you're interested, send me questions if you have them! I'll make different posts answering the questions I've been asked so stay tuned!

Till next time...
