So I weigh about 291 at present, I know its time to lose weight. I had an injury that was slowly , slowing me down causing great deal of pain in my lower legs and back. The inactivity from trying to avoid the pain and swelling caused me to also gain extra weight. I actually had to quit working my job because the pain became unbearable day after day. When your job involves standing and lifting all day, the boss don't get that your in pain, especially when you have been doing it for the last 15-16 years and they sit in their comfy chairs all day. I use to be so much more active, I was always running, going hiking and swimming. Well after 3 years of basic inactivity I decided to try and drop the extra weight. I want back my life, I know that not all boss's are bad, but when they know there is health problems arising from what is clearly from the job, you do your best to accommodate. When that don't work, well ladies and gentlemen you take the matter up in your own hands and deal with it the best you can. Anyway, enough of the little rant, I am going to lose the extra weight via juicing amd minor exercise, because I still,,STILL have to be careful with my vascular system in my legs. I have been having injections and soon surgery. The doctors have already said this is going to be part of my life from now on. The legs will last provided I don't let anybody make me overwork them again.
I am a lucky guy, I know after all that your like huh? I will tell you why right now. I have a wife that has gone through all this with me. She has supported mentally,physically and yes financially. I am more grateful for her in my life then ever before, I love her more now then I did before, and I see her in a different way then before. She is MY rock, and we are finally nearing the worst point of all that has happened in the last 3 plus years. Ready to write the second, more successful half of my life now. All this, THIS, is the first sentence, and I invite whom ever to read enjoy or hate me for it. So here goes, oh , and FYI I will put down recipes for those that wish to try them.
July 1st
First day of juicing, ugh, lol. We were up late last night Juicing, I am not kidding, till 11:30. We still have to finish tonight. More to come....
July 7th
Been a rough first week, first day no big deal, everything went according to plan, second day, caffeine headache like crazy!! I wont lie to anybody or make anything up here. The juices are not all that great tasting, they're not horrid but honestly, I am a typical red meat and potatoes kinda guy with little vegetables.
I was very tired , almost no energy and began having pain in my lower stomach and even more pain then the usual in my legs. Day 3 , ugh, worse still, thought I would start feeling better by day three, but that wasn't the case, headaches, muscle fatigue, felt like I still had the flu, and keep in mind, I wasn't working out. Trust me when I say those first few days, you DON'T have the energy. Day three is the real test, I almost caved from pain to go eat something normal, just to feel normal again. I was so out of it I think I tried to sleep some. Oh by the way, I can only speak to mine and my wife's experience, but we could not sleep all the way through the night, still haven't been able to up to this point. Day four I got through it a little better, less headache a little less muscle pain. The wife did some research and discovered a way to message the lymphoid glands in the body, will post link to it tomorrow. I get alot of aches from this but its gotten better, something about blocking up the glands with a lifetime of eating in correctly. Today I feel ok, a little sore as usual on day seven and just finished my breakfast.
