I did not track on the last two days of this first week but, I did continue to do well. I did not eat any more fast food. I also tried to stick very close to natural foods instead of processed. I did use boxed items a few times out of the week, which I probably always will. I just don't want my family to live off of them anymore.  Plus freshly made tastes so much better! I feel lighter this week.

Back With A Vengance

OK, the goal for me this week is to get out of the 3s within the next seven days. I brought along a couple of weapons. This first one is the most important to me. I bought the Sharper Image juicer at Bed, Bath and Beyond for 79.99. 

I am still playing around with how I am going to use it. I started my day with thoughts of doing an all juice fast...but that ended with the slices of cheese I ate around noon. Instead I decided to focus on "real" food as much as possible. I was inspired by a blog by Lisa Leake . I don't know if I can do 100% processed free but, I am going to try to come close as possible. I am expecting this juicer to incorporate lots of fruits and veggies into my diet, as well as cleanse my body.

I was a little worried about the cost that would need to go into juicing daily. I am still to see. My first fruit haul cost me about 24.00. Not too bad if it will last a week.
