New Start

Well - Im not sure how long ago my first entry was but I am "ready to start a new!!"
I have come fullllll circle when it comes to weight loss - finally at the place where I dont care about the loss as much as my health. In the past year I have probably gained another 20 pounds putting me somewhere around 160. At 5'2 that is way too high for me. I feel very different. My knees ache. I get winded, I have extreme cravings for chocolate and sugar, I am moody, I decline social events, wear sweats - all of the things I never wanted for myself. Previously I had been in greaaaaat shape - I was also raw, I was running and weight training daily, personal training clients - all around very very very happy. Life and circumstances changed, I sit at a desk durring the day and get the false energy through food. I decided to make some changes today. I bought a green star juicer - cant wait until it arrives! I also purchased a portable colonic unit - cant wait to try that as well!
For my first day I made a gallon of green juice - it tasted and smelled awful so I had to add bananas and blueberries. I blended all of the ingredients and it is nirvana! I also added salba seeds. I did not get to workout this morning - alot of discussion needed to take place at home.I hope to et a few miles on the treadmill later and if all goes perfect some weight training when I get home. This will be a one day at a time kind of thing with the ultimate goal being all raw, all liquid for now combined with exercise. If the all liquid is too hard I will keep it to liquid durring the day with raw at night. I feel like I need to flood my body with green juice right now to regain the health I had lost.
