My journey

Hi Peeps:

For some reason I have been able to maintain my weight since the June Juice Fest. I have gained two pounds and I have been making a conscious effort to eat healthy foods. Recently, I have had death in my family and I have been wanting the crud so bad..again. Originally, I was having smoothies hear and their in efforts to skip a mean and to still get the nutrients.Now I have a smoothie and it does not do the job for me, I still feel very hungry. As of now I have allowed myself to just do whatever.. I will be leaving for Florida next week and boy I am sure the flood gates will come open.

When I return to TX I will pick myself up and march to the starting line again. I have made a conscious decisions that no matter how many times that I fall off of the wagon, I will not give up. I notice that there are some people in the world that struggle with weight all of their life. Then, they become ill and all of the weight falls off because they no longer eat. It is my goal to take control of my healthy living so that I can be more happy. Also, so that I don't need to worry about my weight, but to know that I making healthy choices in my daily journey.

I have teamed up with a friend of mine that has written various articles about juicing and how it can be a solution to terminal illnesses. This is a woman that wants to share her perception, tips and education on pertinent information that you may find useful to you. We are hoping to reach everyone with this information so that they can also pursue a more happy and healthy life. 

Love, Peace and Happiness~PJ

News Update

Hello Peeps~

So, I have thrown myself back into the world of eating healthy and preapring to break out in my juice fast. I have had a juice and a smoothie almost every day this week. I have increased my water intake, started reading juicing books and lastly watching documentaries on food.

In the past I have been very successful with support from others that are on the healthy living pursuit of happiness.

Looking forward to jumping back onto my juicing regimen towards the end of this week. I feel my absolute best when I have a clear head, energy and beautiful skin. Oh la la~

Cheers

Juicing Need

Hello:

I am thinking about starting a ten day juice fast on August 21st.  I have several new events taking place in my life during the last week of this month. I feel as though juicing would allow me to start "ANEW" and to pick up my level of energy. At this time my head does not feel as clear as it once did while I was on my juicing journey. Juicing is definitely one of those experiences that once you get..you are spending each day trying to get back to that place. In terms of the energy, clarity along with the lack of aches and pains. As usual I will keep you updated on my process and how things are flowing for me.

Hoping that my message finds many of your doing well and continue to pursue a more happy and healthy life just like me..

Cheers~

Motivation to share

The motivation that has literally made me get my hips and WORK towards my health involves change. Therefore I will share with you a few attachments that I have relating to CHANGE that may also assist you with your journey to a happier and more healthy you.

Body Care

Hello Peeps:

So, the last time we spoke I explained my desire and plan to take better care of my body. Let me provide you with details on my progress.

I absolutely love dry brushing my skin..OMG that absolutely feels amazing. Originally I started brushing without meaning or thought. But, there is a point when you start to stroke the brush as tho you would while stroking your cat, dog or even your hair on your head. So, it becomes a form of pampering and actually becoming engaged with something. I have never felt so sexy from/to myself then how I feel while brushing my skin.

On another note, I have decided to take part in a two week PLANT based diet. I was not liking my eating habits again. It appeared that I was slipping back into that eating sweets when I want and how much I want pattern. Therefore, I started to research various diets, lifestyle changes, plans. The one that I found reasonable and achievable was the plant based diet. Today is day two...yesterday I started strong but forgot about a dinner date that I had last night.

So, I had to think fast while ordering and I did a great job. Today is day two and I have also started out very well today. I love veggies (since the juice fast) and I love fruit. However, I was not a fan of sweet potatoes but they have been pretty good for the past two days. I am determined to get my eating habits under control. In addition I have been also changed the diet of my family so that we all can become more healthy and happy.  Thanks for listening~

Chaka Khan

Has anyone read the story on this living legend? Well, I have and I am so sold on using her method of weight loss. After completing a thirty day juice fast and still have the desire to eat junk makes me annoyed. Therefore, I am thinking that I possibly need to pursue a longer fast so that I can become true to my decision to live more healthy. Mentally, I am so tired of going through the motions with weight loss and healthy living. Therefore, I am seeking the starting point to do a long term self fulfilling strive towards healthy living one and for all. I have totally thrown myself in a the community of healthy living. Therefore those "OFF" track days are far and few..I am motivated by the motivation of others..then in return I try to motivate others.. (Life Cycle)

Forward Steps

Hello Peeps:

I wanted to keep you updated on how I have been trying to show my body more appreciation. I have for sure started with the body brushing and it really feels like I am pampering myself. "I LIKE". In addition, I am more in tuned with my food choices. It seems as though the day you start to eat something that was a BAD habit from the past you cannot back a way from it. As mentioned in past posts I am the ORIGINAL junk food junkie. Therefore,I have the strongest cravings for  SWEETS. During this week, I tried to fulfill that craving with a fruit that has sugar. For instance, nectarines, plums, grapes, apples and mangoes. Although these fruit contain sugar that will keep me from the jolly ranchers, the cupcakes, the ice cream and the "FRENCH FRIES"..Okay that is not a sweet but for sure a weakness. I actually enjoyed walking with the kids (exercising) and the entire family taking part with healthy choices.
