Day 2

Today is less awful than yesterday. It is not wonderful. I lost 7 lbs so far though which is a happy side effect of a juice cleanse :)

Day 1 Juice On!

So about 2 years ago I purchased a Breville juicer after watching "Fat Sick and Nearly Dead" a documentary on jucing by Joe Cross. I have yet to actually apply his learnings to my own life, until today. I have dabbled in jucing here and there, but nothing "serious" so far. Today I have decided to try a juice cleanse for 10 days. Or a week. Or however long my will power hold out. (maximum 1 month Joe Cross' book recommends) 

I have been getting fruit and veggies from Wanigan Organic delivery again, which helps my cause since I normally won't go and purchase things like swiss chard to juice. I usually would get the known healthy things like Kale, spinach, beets, ginger, lemons and then apples... my go to fave.

This morning's juice was a blend of random left overs I had from dinner last night (broccoli, cuke, romaine, ginger, and some apples) it wasn't awful.

Joe's documentary say the first three days of any detox/juice cleanse are awful. I hope it's not as awful as I've imagined. I've got this week off, and that's long enough to get over the detox hump of 3 days at least and there on out I am supposed to be feeling energized and wonderful.

- update as of 3:47 on day 1 I am so tired, and sore and exhausted feeling. i'm glad i cleaned the bathroom this morning.. i feel awful. i tried to sleep off this detox feeling i knew was coming but no luck.

Step 293: When someone gives you a valid piece of criticism, don't try to argue them out of it

Maybe it’s a boss, or a friend, or a significant other. You’ll know it’s valid because you’ll feel the sting of recognition instead of the sting of unfairness, the former being a lot more difficult to swallow.

When that happens, just be quiet, externally and internally, for a second. You can’t undo what they said by debating it, so be a grown-up, accept that you do some things imperfectly and try to do better.

It’s not the end of the world, I promise.

-Everting, except meat. Its that easy.

“Can’t you...

A highschool friend of mine decided to start a "Diet Bet" which I had never heard of. I joined, and hope to lose 4% of my body weight and win some of the $$$ others have bet! Sounds easy....right? We'll see, I'm kind of afraid of what 4% translates into pounds to lose... LOL :)

Step 277: Do not expect kudos for being decent

Let’s say you are a non-racist, thoughtful-to-LGBTQA folks, non-sexist, bill-paying-on-time, recycling-sorting, never-kicks-puppies kind of person:

To you I say, and mean it, congratulations. That is awesome. Take a second and feel nice about yourself.

All done? Good. Because those are not things that make you worthy of praise. That shit is standard. Do not expect others to pat you on the back for a lack of assholishness. Pat yourself, and others, on the back when it is merited.
