Haven't had much time to write a blog, in the last couple of weeks, for us this is party month, and to say I have thrown caution to the wind, is slightly understated, I am trying to be good when I am home but when I am out, I am enjoying myself, and have taken a liking to "Cocktails" well this isn't a new thing really, I have had a few cocktails when dinning on the Captain Cook Cruises, and I had home made cocktails for Andrew's 60th birthday party, but just recently I realized that the Cocktail hour or "Happy Hour" in Sydney is very popular, and so wanting to try everything, we did a little bit of a "Cocktail Crawl", my new favourite past time when in Sydney ha ha. Lucky for me I will be re-visiting Sydney again this month, it is rather indulgent of me, but having the key to my health as I mentioned in previous posts, means I know how far I can push myself, and to keep my script writing doctor at bay, I keep on top of what I should and shouldn't have.
Having said that, this month is particularly challenging for me, as we have something happening each weekend, and besides this weekend being my birthday, we are bringing my girl home from UNI, she is all done and dusted, a qualified educator and we couldn't be prouder! But the challenge is to keep my weight down, my blood glucose levels below 5 and appease my doctor who seems to think a cholesterol reading of 6 is high, I know I can get mine down to 4.6 because that is what it was 12 months ago, yep another celebration 12 months ago we embarked on our first ever Juice fast and went for a staggering 28 days, at the time it wasn't that staggering but looking back at how disciplined I was, I didn't so much as have a tic tac and the results paid off, got a glowing report from my doctor and felt 20 years younger. I have fasted off and on for the last 12 months and always happy with the results, it is like I know what to do and I do it, I am not perfect and I am tempted, but if I needed to, I know I would resist the temptations, I am stubborn like that ha ha, anyway as I said I have set myself a challenge to return to the doctor for another glowing report, this time I am concentrating on my cholesterol readings, I am taking a daily Krill Capsule, because "Dr Mercola" a guru of ours, says it is good, and also that is what I was doing 12 months ago, and since I haven't really done much else other than the occasional (very occasional) meal out, I have been juicing and eating healthy sugar free foods. So October or Juicetober is going to be my go hard or go home month, it is the month where I will be putting my convictions to the test, I will be juice fasting like my life depends on it, and what perfect time to do it too, as we have nothing on in October but it will get me ready to go Cruising, watch this space for updates on my Juicetober I will let you all know if it is as easy as the first Juice fast or harder. Stay Calm and Juice
