Today's Good Things:
All good food choices
Made my first green smoothie!
Played some tennis with the fam tonight
Body check on the Wii
Watched F,S, & ND with the fam again, this time my husband watched with us. He's stoked and wants to start a juice fast ASAP!!

Today's Not So Good Things:
Felt crummy this morning with upset stomach, bowel issues and headache throughout the day
Only exercised after dinner, felt too icky to push for more

So, our afternoon found me feeling poorly and my husband needing a break from a busy week working on building our accounting firm.  We decided to give ourselves a rest and watch Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead together since he missed it last night.  I was pretty sure he was going to like it and I was not wrong!

He's so excited to do a reboot and can't wait to start a juice fast.  We've found some friends that have a juicer that we can borrow so we don't have to come up with the funds up front.  What a blessing!

I'm excited too, but I'm not sure I need/want to do a long juice fast.  I'm definitely going to do it with him to encourage and help him stay motivated.  Just not sure how long this will go!  I certainly could use a reboot as well, even though I did go through that detox with my Daniel Fast.  More detox and more nutrients are definitely going to be a huge help to me right now.  As we go, I'm hoping we'll like it well enough to do a 10 day-ish fast regularly throughout the year to keep us healthy and strong.

I added a page for Before and After Pics at the top of the blog.  I think David is going to start using this blog as well to record some of his thoughts on our journey, especially during the juice fast. Stay tuned for His and Her blog posts soon!!

So, off I go researching and making a plan for our juice fast!  We still need to finalize when we start and get ready.  It's exciting, though, having something so positive and good for us to work on together.

OH!! I almost forgot! I'm down 2.2 on the Wii tonight, so I met my next goal early!  After I take out what I had gone up over the week, I'm still down about another pound bringing me closer to that magical day when I'll FINALLY get back under that 200 mark again.  I am getting excited again now that I've got some momentum building and the numbers shrinking.  Thank You, Lord!

And, just for fun, here's a pic of our dinner tonight, Roasted Vegetables with Cashews and Hazelnuts. Yum. :)
