For the longest time I used to juice for a day of the week. My thought process on this is save the energy of digestion and let my body have energy for something else like healing. I use to stick with healthy juices. I always had tomato juice in there from trader joes or whole foods that had nothing artificial in it. Tomato juice even though acidic was a filling juice. I’d always have a couple carrot juice never a…
Normally this is supposed to be Monday’s post. For some reason I was feeling good today so I took out the mean, horrible, evil scale. I’m sure you can tell by my tone how this went. I have to say except for an isolated chocolate chip cookie from Panera Bread (really good I might add) I’ve been really healthy. I use to eat pizza once a week I’ve had it one time in the last four weeks. I haven’t gone…
http://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/well-good/inspire-me/82602708/Fitness-bloggers-photos-prove-weight-really-is-just-a-number The scale number wasn’t as friendly today. When I look in the mirror I feel better though. I know that yesterday I had a high carbohydrate day which definitely can influence the scale. However again this was the main reason that I put away the scale. The scale is a number and we as females give that number way too much power. I am 8 weeks into my 12 week P90X program.

However what I’ve found most interesting over the last few weeks is my cravings for junk have been almost non existent. I haven’t had any major days of eating uncontrollably. I certainly have let my body be my deciding voice…
https://youtu.be/z0CSscWWwPU In my spiritual search I came Emotional Freedom Technique also known as EFT. This is a stress relief technique that involves tapping on acupressure points. This technique is used by many people for relationships, dieting, sickness, and certainly stress. This is one of the simplest things I ever learned that I personally thought it was a bunch of bogus BS. However one emotionally bad day I was having I did the technique a few times to relieve some of…
My last three months of weigh-ins at weight watchers (WW). Technically I am within goal which is set at 145 and you have a 2lb leeway to be considered in range. However I should tell you that according to WW at my height of 5’2″ the goal is 137 but my doctor changed it for me. Today I am throwing out the scale, ok well not literally let’s be real here. Why? Because I am number obsessed. I can step…
