I have returned from my month long cruise and overseas holiday, 35 days to be exact and I loved every minute of it, I ate, drank and was very merry, and I have been trying to get my mind set back into health mode, when I first got home I was geared up to doing a juice fast to get myself back on track, but I didn't factor in the jet lag, which I didn't think would affect me until it affected me ha ha.
So I guess you could call that excuse number one, and after the jet lag passed and I started to be my old normal self, I just wasn't motivated to do the Juice fast, especially since I didn't gain as much weight as I thought I might on a month long cruise eating and drinking what ever I wanted, I only gained 2.6 kilos, I gained more than that on the 14 day NZ cruise, and then I had the daughters birthday coming up, so I just moved the starting date forward , that has now past so no more excuses. I have been thinking a lot about the metaphor I used in past blogs about having the "Key" to good health and knowing how to get your weight and blood sugars in check, but for the sake of another metaphor in order to use the key you have to want to go through the door, with any addiction, you have to "WANT" to quit !, of course we need to eat to live, and we all tell ourselves that we only eat to live not live to eat, but to a certain degree we all over eat, and doing a juice fast brings you down to earth pretty quickly, it is hard to over eat when your not actually eating. I have my motivation on now and I am starting my Juice fast tomorrow , I also use intermittent fasting, so my first juice will be about 12 o'clock (noon) I am mentally prepared but I am not sure how hard it is going to be this time around, we had Chinese, for tea tonight (sort of like a last supper) and it was good too, be hard not to have left overs for breakfast but I need to stay strong, and writing this blog keeps me strong, lets face it no one wants to admit they are a failure and if I am sharing my attempts with you then I would have to share my failures too, so I am not setting any particular goals this time round I just want to get my weight down and my blood sugar in check , and at least I know that I have had success with the juice fast before, I got to my lightest weight in 20 years and felt about 20 years younger. So I am mentally prepared to have a really tough first week, because I have been enjoying some really nice food lately and have been enjoying a few alcoholic beverages in the evenings, so I will be taking a break from these luxuries too and may even suffer some withdrawals but it is something that I want to do, so I have the Key and I am about to enter the door! I love using metaphors makes the tough stuff sound so easy, well that is about all I have to report for now hopefully I will gain added motivation to write my blog more regularly as well, it helps to keep me on track, and if anyone reading my blog gains any helpful information or even motivation then it makes it all worth while. Keep on Juicing!
