UPDATE!

So I have a bunch to catch up on since the last time I posted anything here.

Firstly, Anthony got a new job with General Electric as a Regional Finance Manager for their Sam's Club portfolio which is awesome!! It was a long process to actually get the job but he did and its great! Part of him taking the job meant he would be in charge of the Midwest market. This meant we had to move. Initially we thought he would go by himself so Maddy and I could stay in Arizona and so she could finish out her 3rd grade year...but then we decided that since GE would be paying for us to move, we might as well all go at once. Since this was happening in October and Maddy was only 2 months into her 3rd grade year, we didn't see it as a big deal. Fast forward to now, and we made the move to Nebraska!! Never thought I'd live here, lol, never had a reason to! But I love it. The town we live in is a small farming community with the cutest downtown ever! And we are very close to Omaha. Only about 20 minutes which is great! Huge change from Arizona because we were 1 1/2 hours from a major city out there.

We still own our house out there and are renting it out and we are currently renting in NE as well. On a few of our trips to Omaha we have looked around at some neighborhoods and houses for sale.

If you can't tell, we gave up on the juice fast. :-) I don't know if we'll revisit it or not.

Lastly, today is my birthday!!! Yay!!! I'm 28!

2 years until the big 3-0! Ahhh! Where did the time go!?

Well that's all for today. Have a great one!

P90X!!!

So Anthony and I are starting P90X tomorrow and I'm nervous! I know I won't be able to do it all 100% at first. We got the mat, resistance bands and push up grips so were good to go! I took before pics but I don want to post them until I have an "in progress" photo to compare to.

Starting weight is 162 though. Ugh. Hopefully we anger that down to 130 ish!!

Wish me luck! I'll post more tomorrow after the work out!

And so it begins.....Day 1 of Juice Fast

So the last "fast" I did a few weeks ago did not go well. I think I had a bug hiding somewhere in my body and doing the fast just brought it out with a vengeance. So I had to stop. I was miserable and missed 3 days of work. Then our little one got sick and missed school. That was a rough week. I still chose to juice almost everyday in the morning b/c I knew I would restart the fast again eventually and wanted to already be accustomed to the juice. 

So today is going to be the first day of my restart. My weight right now is 154. I'm hoping that like in the movie Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead I can get rid of this weird itchiness that I seem to get no matter where I live or what the weather is like. Speaking of Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead, Anthony and I finally watched the whole thing last night and thats when we decided to restart the fast today. It's a good thing we stocked up on fruits and veggies on our last grocery shopping trip! I'm also hoping that next week when we order a basket from our local co op they'll be lots of new stuff to try. 

Started out today with the juice below

1 orange

1/2 apple

3 romaine leaves 

4 stacks of spinach (sandwiched between the romaine leaves) 

4 carrots 

1/4 of a lemon

I think its good. It's not anything out of the ordinary that I had been juicing previously. 

So hopefully we'll be more successful in this next fast. Our goal would ideally be 60 days so we'll see. I know that getting past the first week will probably be the hardest. 

Maybe as the fast progresses I'll put up some comparison pics if I can even bring myself to take them right now lol!

Well here goes nothing!!!

Thanks to whoever ends up reading this!
