Why am I doing this after I just got off my juice fast? I know some may say I am obsessed but the first day I got off my juice fast I had four pieces of pizza and then the next day I eat out and so on and so on. It had made me lose weight and made me feel healthy but it did not help me make a life style change. So yes I am looking to lose a little more weight but most of all I am looking to be a healthier me by eating right but still being able to live my life.

So day one is going great!! I am feeling great with every diet things you dont like and things you do. I am loving the spark energy drink but not liking the fiber drink. I did not work out today because I had a messy apartment and also I wanted to take to focus on just the diet part. I was told that it is best to work out at least five days a week. Now if this goes well for me and you want to try the 24 day challenge let me know and i will help you get started.

Day 4-6

Day 4....
So day 4 was good, besides my my juicer breaking down!!! It is ok I returned it and got a better one. The best part was putting on my skinny jeans and they were loose, only after three days. I could juice more and more with results like that. It is to bad it dose not help with the cravings every day around 600pm, pizza, chips, popcorn and every thing and anything that is slaty. I found Tomato juice helps with all the slaty cravings. So bring on the weekend!!!

Day 5....
So day 5 has not been so bad for me but mike is having a hard time because he has to work long long hours through the night. So he eat a meal so he could get through the night. Of course I slipped a little and had a bit or two of his thai. I think the big thing is to remember when doing any diet is that if u do slip get right back up and do not give up every thing just because u slipped a little. That has always been my problem but today I did and did not eat more then those little bits.

Days 6
Today was good. I had a lot going on so it was more easy to stay on track. It was also nice to have people start saying things like you look good. Things that help u keep going even when you found out that u did not lose any weight. Mike and I think that it may be because we have to much fruit in our juices but it also could be because we ate food the night before. So we are going to change things up.

Day 1-3

Juice diet day 1......
It is day one and I am feel good. The only thing I do not like is some of the juices taste gross but I have found some thing that helps with that it is Lemons !!! Now there are just some things that do not taste good no matter what u do with them or add to them.

Day 2....
This day was harder. I made a juice that was not good at all and all I wanted was a pizza. So when mike came home and said let's order a pizza it took every thing I had to say no. Then after that we both went back in forth with tempting each other with things we could go eat but in the end we did it, we went to bed after making a good juice and hoping that tomorrow will be better.

Day 3....
Day three we did it!!! On day three they said that things get better because your body adapts to the juice. Also after three days you should no longer have headaches, dizziness and being sleepy. I know it sounds bad but I have only really been sleepy and it is around 8pm at night so bed time anyway. I think today was good for me and mike because it gave us a new determination because we are seeing that it works. So now we just need to get to day 6.

LOTS

Been a long time and I would like to tell you every little thing but that would take more than an hour. So here is the shorten part of what has been going on.

Christmas, we went to AZ for Christmas and it was great to see every one of mikes side of the family, it was also nice to have a break. It was fun to see how mikes family does Christmas. We had fun hanging out, shopping, wrapping gifts, eating, sing carols and making ginger bread house. It is always fun in AZ. We wish we could go more often.

New year, mike had to work so I was at home with the little man just hanging out I actual think I was cleaning while counting down to the new year. What a great way to start the New Year off a clean house. What is funny is about 20 minutes before 12:00 I went to bed because for some reason I thought the New Year was at 1:00 shows how sleepy I was. That next Sunday was great my mom planed out these little sheets that asked us some question about the last year and then asked us what we want to come out of the New Year. Then we all went around and told every on what we wrote. The plan is next year we all get new sheets and the ones we did the year before so we can see what we did and didn’t do and what changed.







Now as for now, mike is back in school and will be done with his Bachelors this spring and then we will just be waiting to see where we get in to PA school. I really am hoping AZ. I proud of my husband he works so hard and he still makes time for his Xbox lol and of course Emmit and I. Now for Emmit he is so big and next month he will be 18 months. He is just growing up so fast, I think my favorite thing that he does is him folding his arm for pray and say meme for amen. He has lately been more cuddle, which I love a lot. He also learned how to get into all the child lock cabinet. So much running around, keeps me on my toes. I love him so much.

Callings, I and mike got called to the nursery. I love it, I feel like I have gotten to know more people in our ward in the last two weeks then I have in the two years we have been in the ward. You also find that you grown to love these little kids so much. There are about 13 kids in our nursery so we have a lot on our hands I guess that is why they called four people to the calling. Also our church starts at 1:00 so it is a lot of the little kids nap time. It is a little crazy at some times but I still love it. Also I am still assistant to the library, so I go in there for 15 minutes and then I go into nursery. It is also nice that we get to be with Emmit I am just hoping they do not call us to primary when Emmit goes into primary because I want him to be ok with not being around us.

Emmit - One Month

So Emmit is growing up so fast. I know I say that ever time but he really has. He loves his daddy so much he is always looking for him in the morning. After I get him out of his bed and put him down he goes to the front door and he nocks on the door and goes daddy daddy. It is so sweet. It make me smile. I have Mike got get him from his nap so he gets to see him right away.

He is also learning a little ASL not because I am really big on him learning it, I just do not like him screaming for every thing. He knows how to sign more and thank you. He also knows now how to get up and down off the couch. Oh the best thing is he is off the bottle. I think it was my problem more then it was Emmits. If I knew all it took was to put then out of reach he would have been done with them at one. He is just a sweet joy in my life and I love him more then any thing.

One Month
So it has been one month and I am down to 132 pounds. Last week I had a bad week but I think I am back on track. It is the hardest on Thursday - Sunday. I get half way through the week and I just start to eating real bad and then I start telling
myself what is the point. Then it starts all over again on Monday. So by Thursday I need to think of some thing to motivate me to get to Sunday. I am getting were I want I am learning how to eat better and staying health. I know I will get even healthier with every work out.



Hair cut and color.

Three weeks / more

Things here are little hard I am working out good it is just food. I love junky food. So the pounds I lost came all right back. It is ok it kick me into work harder more. So my food will be fruits and veggies from now on.

Emmit has Five teeth now. It is crazy how much he has grown up. I love him so much. Mike is doing good in school. It does not seem that bad so far, he is home every day by 2 and then work at 5 which is good for me because that is Emmits nap time. So Mike takes a nap and Emmit takes a nap and I go do what I need to get done. It is Good timing for all of us. I love my two men in my life.

Two weeks and more

It has been two weeks and I am done to 136, 4 pounds. I am doing P90X with my husband and running when I can. It is hard to keep on track with the diet. I love snacking, anything and every thing. I am still working on that apart of being healthy. Beside that I feel so much different now. It is so weird how much better I feel about myself, I just feel well more healthy.
Beside working out, life is great mike has one more week before school is back in. I love spending this time with him and my son. Emmit is one years old, I can not believe it still. He is walking and running and climbing things, we had to put locks on all the the doors and any where we are he wants to be. I love him so much and he is such a great joy to my life. I am so thankful that I get to raise him and to be a mother to him. I do believe there is nothing greater in life then to be a parent.


I mean look at this kid how can you not love him. He say thanks you all the time it is so great. Ok I do not really think he knows what it means but it makes me feel like I am doing some thing right. I love my little family.
