Juicing....I'm doing it, are you?

       

   So this last week I spoke with a very good friend of mine, she happens to be an amazing photographer who I have modeled for in the past. She has recently started juicing to help get back in shape. In talking with her I told her how I really don't feel myself these day. I feel slow and tired and gross.

           I was weighing at 125-128lbs. I am only 5'5 and until I was 20 never weighed more then 100lbs... so right now I feel like I am walking around in someone's body but not my own. It's the little things, for the 1st time in my life my thighs touch, I have a bit of fat that hangs over my jeans, and my watch won't fit around my wrist.

           I am not doing this with the goal of losing a ton of weight, I am doing this with the goal of losing weight and putting on muscle.  My primary goal... to greatly cut back on drinking soda, and eating junk food.  I won't eliminate it all because I know I won't be successful if I can't have a treat now and again.  Also this plays a bigger part in setting a good example for my two sons and gets me in the right shape for having another baby if we so choose. (Not that we plan on that right now, but I refuse to have a baby when I don't FEEL healthy.)

These two are a huge part of my inspiration.

           I will be exercising daily, Dvds while the baby is napping, walking the 6 yr old to and fro the bus each day and hopefully hitting the little gym we have here. It's big plans and it won't be easy but I am doing it for me. 

For me I will be replacing breakfast and lunch with juicing.
