NutriBlast Me

Alright... So we remember my "7 Day Juice Fast", right? I should say, "Kinda Almost a 3 Day Juice Fast". That is putting it more accurately. 

Well, I am not going to do that again. It seems that I am not cut out for the preparation, cost nor the clean-up necessary for a 7 day juice fast. Or any juice fast, for that matter. And although I keep telling myself that adding another 45 minutes to my morning is well worth the aggravation of the messiness caused, I still can't come to grips with it. I mean, I should ENJOY getting healthy... right? Right!

Which is why I purchased the "NutriBullet". According to the info-mercial, (and info-mericials are ALWAYS truthful), this thing annihilates  food into a drinkable smoothness while keeping all of the goodness that comes in the fruits and vegetables added. All of the fiber and I can add nuts and seeds and watch them liquefy. 

Anyway, I am going to try to add at least one "Nutri-blast" into my daily routine.

There Are No Magic Buttons...

Waking up every morning with a headache and feeling like I am in a fog has become "normal" for me. This is not good. I have made the promises but have slowly degraded further into unhealthiness and instability. I honestly fear for my future as I am poisoning myself with processed foods and drinks and chemically laden produce.

The fat that I have acquired over the past few years in surrounding my heart. I can feel it. I get short of breath... that's a lie... I get completely winded from the slightest exertion. Seriously. Putting on my socks takes my breath away and makes my heart race. MOVING takes my breath away.

I WANT to be healthy. I WANT to change. I WANT a magic button I can press that will alter my concept of food! I don't want to crave everything that I crave and I want to stop the excuses. I want to rise with a sense of clarity. I want each day to be representative of who I really am. Because right now, I am not that person.

What truly baffles me is how easy it was for me to quit smoking immediately upon hearing I had a brain aneurysm. I steadily and consistently smoked for over 15 years and loved it. I truly LOVED smoking. Yet, I have not touched a cigarette since November 29, 2009. What I am doing to my body and mind now are just as bad as those cigarettes. However, I find each day to be an overwhelming challenge and I cave into myself and feed the addiction.

If I cannot change this and be present, then...
