On June 12th, my children and I were rear ended in our car. Luckily my kids were ok, minor injuries for them & the car but unfortunately I suffered a little worse. I've been on so much medication and visited several Doctors and specialists since then. I've been pretty miserable. Not sleeping at night & not enjoying life at all. My Daughter & I went on a road trip to visit friends that live on a lake. It was almost all down time for me, complete relaxation. I love going there-much more laid back, slow pace lifestyle than I have at home.
The first couple of days, I was a little sore but I started to notice that I wasn't as sore as I have been. Apparently my body just needed some downtime.
Since we have been back home, I've noticed a complete difference in how I've been feeling. I've been sleeping better & I'm avoiding the pain medication as much as possible. I don't want to keep taking it.
The past few months I've been wanting to purchase a juicer. I know several people with them and have tried a few recipes that others have made and really liked them. I have mentioned it a few times lately to my Husband-the most recent being the night I returned from our road trip. I began my research....I told him about a couple I had found, and sent him a link to "the one". (Or so I thought!)
The next day was spent with a family member that was undergoing surgery. I ended up being there much later than I had planned but didn't mind at all.
When I finally arrived home, there were flowers AND a brand new juicer waiting for me! I was thrilled!
I went out the next morning & purchased a ton of produce. I've been experimenting a little and have found a ton of recipes to try out. I'm in love!
The juicer came with a little bonus--the DVD, Fat, Sick & Nearly dead by Joe Cross. I wanted to watch it, but was a little afraid. I know what my reality is but watching that was going to open my eyes and make me face reality. MY reality.
Last night, I watched it. My eyes are wide open, I'm staring at reality in the face & accepting what I am and what I have to do.
This is it. This is how I'm going to get back to myself again. So I'm starting this blog, mostly to hold myself accountable-like a journal. I hope people will read my story, follow my journey, ask questions and help me make myself stay in this path...right now I'm Fat, Sick & Fabulous. My goal is to be healthy, fit & fabulous!
