I have decided it is time for a change. I am so tired of being so tired. I am tired of all the health issues and pains. So I am going to try something different. I am going to blend up fruits and veggies into a drink everyday for at least 10 days. One drink a day at least. I do not eat enough fruits and vegetables, so I plan to start my days with a drink of blended produce.
I started my juice drinks yesterday and will post pictures at the end of my week, also describing what I thought about the recipe. I do not own a juicer and feel like they won't keep much of the nutrients anyway, so I am blending them only to a liquid state. I see juicing is a big diet fad lately, however, starving yourself to lose weight seems like a bad idea personally. I can't see how it's healthy either. However, not trying to lose weight myself and as it's just regular produce mixed, I don't see the issue to try them as a supplement for healthier eating/drinking. I am eating regular meals, lots of healthier meals too, trying to eat mostly non-packaged foods and mostly fresh items as much as possible over the next 10 days as well. I plan on eating little meat, no soy except fermented soy products, many varied grains and beans/protein-rich legumes and I already can't eat dairy, so that's not an issue.
My big dog is getting too fat and her hips aren't doing well because of the added weight...so it's time for a change for her as well. We are going to start doing a daily walk around the block and she is not going to be allowed extra food like she has been given. It's vital she lose weight and I am aiming to help her lose at least 10 pounds.
So, eating healthier and staying fit...let's see if I feel any better or if my dog loses her 10 pounds by the time I take her to the vet for her lepto annual in a couple weeks.
Wish us both luck.
