Planning Week 1: Whoa That's A LOT of Shit.(materials)

I am sure that as I get better at this, consolidating and such will become easier. I am vastly overwhelmed in my mind at the large amount of ingredients needed for 1 week (if my scheduling is done correctly, but then again, I didn't do the same juice too many times)

I have spent that last 24 hours since purchasing my juicer online, researching recipes, how to's, what to expects, and so much more.

The general consensus is that you should intake 4 of these 16oz drinks a day for 64 oz of juice, and at least 64 oz of water with it.

I scoured 100s of recipes, and found about 20 that really tickled my fancy. Some are meant for the morning (since with juicing you are also cutting out caffiene); some are meant for later meals, and some are just for funzies. Here's a snap shot of ONE week of my schedule, and the list of materials to make this schedule happen:

Yeh, Maybe I am trying to do too many flavors at one time? Maybe the point is to do like just a few different ones a week so you can buy more of the materials in bulk? I have no idea honestly, I can't seem to find a definitive answer.

So what are some of these recipes?

Here's the Warrior Princess

Here's the Big Green Hulk

These are just 2 examples of what these juice "meals" will be.

I have also been looking at side effects and such, and with the lack of sugar and caffiene, I imagine I will be tired the first few days and cranky. I hope not, but that's whats expected.

I also plan on implementing a protein shake during the day somewhere once the Yoga and excersize picks up. I found out there is a 24 hour Fitness 2000 up here in King, so I plan on going there sometime today and finding out how much a membership is; and I'll prolly go ahead and sign up if I can use the Clemmons one too (never know when you might move)

Anywhoo, the support I have recieved is overwhelming, and I cannot thank you all enough. I am going to do this; and having your support just makes me wanna do it harder (TWSS)

Now the damn wait time for this juicer to get here... I honestly can't wait..

6 Things That Fat People Are Embarrassed to Admit that Are Harder For Us To Do.

Anyone who knows me, knows I am at no lack of confidence in who I am. It doesn't change the fact that I want to be healthier by any means; but here are some facts about being fat that I hate. The point of this is to look back and say, "Nope. Not a problem anymore." Or so other people like me can think to themselves "Yes, I do have issues with that.. thanks for relating"

I have scoured forums and posts all over the internet, and no one seems to ever put this out there. Here are things I have noticed about myself that are harder for me to do; that I would never ever feel comfortable telling people. This list is embarrassing, but it is factual. If you are big, or were, did you find these activities difficult as well?

1) Putting on shoes. Seriously, I have the most trouble in the world tying my shoes, but even then, with the feet swelling stuff, putting them on is painful and difficult. I get winded trying, and usually resort back to flip flops. (oh, that's why he wears flip flops year round... ding ding ding)

2) Cutting my toe nails. I had to basically beg my sister to cut my nails 2 weeks ago because I just, can't.

3) Wiping your butt. No, it's not impossible to do and no, we dont have crudd butt; but it is a task like no other, especially on certain shaped toilets. I have noticed this over the years, and will refrain from using any toilet I know to have been super difficult. No, I am not exaggerating. It can be a pain in the ass (pardon the pun)

4) Sitting comfortably on a couch. I have noticed that getting comfortable on a couch is tough for me, I assume it is the same for many fat people.

5) Taking great showers. I never scrub my feet, I just cant. That's just one thing that is more difficult as a fat person and showering.

6) Driving. I think it's more to do with the loss of circulation in the feet and the swelling, but sitting too long in a chair, and in a car, is painful and uncomfortable. Getting out to take a stretch break is bad too.

As I think of more, I will add more.as they come to me. Of course, living with constant plumber's crack doesn't make the list, it is a daily battle!

Now: let's talk about the benefits of losing weight to these 6 negatives of being fat.

1) Holy shit I can wear shoes again

2) I can keep my nails clean and sexxy

3) Wiping is just like breathing or taking a sip of water!

4) I can do push ups on the couch if I want to, and be comfortable doing so

5) Super fresh and super clean

6) I could drive around the country

I Said That I Am Going to do This. Here Is the Proof.

There it is folks, proof and receipt that I purchased a juicer this morning.

I am going to do a 60 day juice fast.

I had to come to terms with a few things over the past 24 hours that really made me decide that it is time to stop fucking playing around.

1) I have been willing and done so on multiple occasions to spend more then this amount on Vape Gear like it's nothing.

2) My feet swell so badly daily, and my toes will tingle in numbness.

3) I can't stand for more then 30 minutes without my lower back killing me. Having a job that had me sitting down for so long has really taken it's toll.

4) My great uncle's heart attack last week.

I hate, hate, hate, that it is taking situational occurances to encourage me to restart this journey; but dammit I guess whatever it takes right? I have decent control on most of the things in my life except this one damn thing, and I am sick of it.

I have always been the guy who achieves any and everything I want to do. My Weight has been the single exception to this rule, and it's time to overcome. I have proven time and time again to myself and those that know me, of my will to do anything; and it's time to stop making excuses. I'm going to pause this right now and go take shirtless pictures in my bathroom *whistles*

Why? Because being public about this will keep me accountable. Just like last time. But guys, I NEED your help. I need you to be there for me, be my rock. Keep me accountable and keep me motivated. I'm coming to you ALL. I spend so much time motivating others and being the rock for others, I am begging for you all to do so for me. I honestly feel in my soul, that my life depends on it. That is not a hyperbole.

I will also try to weigh myself, but last time I tried ( a few weeks ago), my digital scale wouldn't even weigh me (yeh, it's like that)

Be right back...

So yeh Here I am in my fully exposed glory. No hiding behind anything. This makes me sad when I look at pictures I took after losing a shit ton of weight before:
Here were my feet after I had lost 90 Lbs last time:

And here is a comparison of me before:

Now, if you didn't know my story you know some of it now. You can go back through this blog and find out more!

So what happens after I get done with my 60 day juice fast?

I have an intense diet in this blog I did before that worked amazing, and I will be going back to that, as well as all the work out stuff I was doing before. The 60 day fast is a way for me to jump start my metabolism, cleanse my body, and allow me to lose some weight so I can actually excersize. I will be working on doing Yoga, but if all I can do is walk every day, then I'm going to do that; you gotta start somewhere.

Comment below! Let me know what you think.

YRG Yoga?

You know, I have been very good at making excuses the past 2.5 years since I stopped my journey.

Excuses are for the weak.

I'm tired of hurting, I'm tired of looking the mirror and asking myself "What the fuck happened?"

It's simple, I got lazy.

I can admit that.

I stopped caring.

Sure, I have quit smoking now, and my thought is: What's Next?

I have multiple goals to achieve, I was getting close to them throughout this blog, and I failed them at that time.

But what's been bugging me is the question: Why can't I do it now?

I can.

So let's do it.

Grocery store tomorrow, week's worth of food being made, drinking my last soda as we speak, and I'll be borrowing my sister's yoga mat. I'm going to start doing YRG Yoga (DDP's Yoga), until I can find a gym that would be close enough to make sense.

Let's go!

Here: My last soda. I'll weigh myself when I can (my at home scale wont even register my weight anymore... that's how bad it is.)

Reboot Juice Diet or Body by Vi?

I am tired of saying I am going to get back to this lifestyle and continuously failing to do so.

Life is hard, things happen, get over it.

I decided in June that I was going to get back on the right track, and that I wanted to quit smoking too. So I chose smoking first.

I have been cigarette free for 58 days, 4 hours, 35 minutes. I have avoided 1,745 cigarettes! That's a helluva lot! The good news is simple: I have that under control and is no longer an issue.

So onto the next part:
Ready to get back into a gym, I've moved so I need to find a new one. I have Golds Gym and a YMCA, both about the same distance from where I live, and I will go investigate the prices this week.

Now I need YOUR oppinions on the next one. I just watched "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead" and was blown away by the sheer volumes of weight lost with juicing. I have also heard Body by Vi is good too. I want some kind of liquid diet to get me back into a routine, then get back to the same diet I was on before. I don't have any extra money to really spend on a juicer, but I would be willing to make it work.

Soooo. Which is it? Juice for 30 to 60 days or do a 30 day Body by Vi?

Thanks
