Juicing! 45 Day Challenge

Hey everyone!  So my fiancee (only 47 more days til hubby) and I have decided to go on a juice fast, which is more of a juice challenge if you ask me because it definitely will be a struggle and a challenge.  I know many people out there are wondering why in the world would someone go on a juice fast?  Well there are a couple of reasons actually, ONE of course is weight loss; drinking juice is obviously a quick way to drop pounds fast for things such as.....Weddings!!!  TWO we want to reboot our whole digestive system and a juice fast is a great way to cleanse, and THREE if we drink only fruits and vegetables for the next 45 days we will acquire more of a taste for them and since both of us are really picky we really need to acquire a taste for more produce.  Along with the fast, fiancee and I are going to exercise, mostly just walk but doing physical activity will be good for us.  Today begins our official 45 day juice fast; I will, of course, keep you updated on my progress and what I think of the whole fast.  Beginning out I weigh 147lbs so we will hopefully see a nice change there.  If you want to learn more about juice fasts I highly encourage you to watch Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead,  it is available on netflix and it's what encouraged me to start the fast.  If you are starting a juice fast you can go here and read more about juicing and get recipes, etc.  With that said I will update ya'll soon.   Wish me luck!

Weight Watchers

Hey everyone!! I hope you all had amazing holidays and a great kick off to the new year, I know I did!! One thing most people do at the beginning of the year is make a new year's resolution, well.....I made my new year's resolution and it isn't to lose weight but to start a weight loss program and stick to it (then the losing weight part will just fall in place).  So last week I joined Weight Watcher's, I hear so many people talk about it and they all seem to (pardon my gangster) give it mad props.  So in starting it I thought that it was pretty easy to follow and seems like something that would be rather easy to stick to as long as one has the motivation because it doesn't deprive one of things they want to eat, what you put in your mouth is in your hands all you have to do is weigh the pros and cons of the points you're about to spend on that tasty treat you love so much.  In the past week I have realized how much I overate and just never knew it, it's all about portions for this girl and I just had no idea how much food I was shoving in my face hole.  Weight Watchers put me on a 26 points a day regimen and I have been doing pretty swell on eating all of my points which is something I'm proud of because in previous diet attempts when I was counting my calories I never ate enough, I could never reach that 1200 calorie a day goal and that is bad because I was basically starving myself so Weight Watchers seems to be doing it for me.  I lost 3 lbs last week and I'm pretty happy with that number.  Now on a more depressing note.....I'm sick this week :(  My amazing boyfriend gave me a head cold, thank you so much boyfriend for this gift but I don't want it.  Unfortunately I can't go to the gym until I get better because A) I don't want to spread these germs to everyone else and B) I can hardly breathe, I just might die on the treadmill of suffocation.  Needless to say I can't wait to get over this cold and get to the gym because as much as I'm eating right I need to workout.  And the last note I wanted to hit on is I have decided to share my weekly Weight Watchers menu with ya'll so you can see exactly what I'm eating and hopefully make and be inspired by healthy recipes that I eat.  This will also help those of you that maybe can't afford Weight Watchers to be able to follow a Weight Watchers plan and know how many points certain things are and also those of you who are on Weight Watchers but just need a little help on food ideas this is a place you can come for that.  So that's all I wanted to say today and I'll be posting next week my meal plans from this week and also my progress of this week.  Have a great week ya'll!!
