Day Thirty One

Hello everyone,

The last few days I have been focused and I must say it has paid off. I'm now down 30 lbs at of today.

Now don't get me work, I had one or two slip ups here and there. Like on my son's birthday we went to Red Lobster. The was a bad idea.(LOL!!) I haven't met one person who can say NO to those cheddar biscuits.

But I must say it has been a task. As I said before I'm doing the Insanity workout at the same time so I'm getting it in. The workout sessions are about 40 mins everyday but I'm dripping sweat by the time we get to the stretch which is about 10 mins into the session.

Well it has been a long day and time for me to get some rest. I will try and post again tomorrow night.

Day Nineteen

Hello everyone,

I know it has been a few days but I'm still going strong. I can't believe it has been 19 days.

So I weighted myself and I'm down 20 lbs. Now bad... Losing about a pound a day. Hopefully by day 30 I will be down 40 lbs.

Now to just give you an update on the last few days, I have been going in on this Insanity workout while doing my juicer. This workout has had me going crazy. I must say it is really helping with my process.

Well, that is all for now. I will keep you updated....

Day Ten

Well I woke up this morning feeling a little down. My allergies are acting up with all this weather change so I decided to stay in for the day. But I will not let this make me lose focus. Being in the house alone can do that to you.

But I'm up now and I think I will try one of the juicer recipes Brian had told me about this weekend. Hopefully that will help me feel better.

Day Nine

Well it is Sunday and time to get my praise on. So I fixed the kids breakfast and out the door we went. I was running behind so I would have to get my juicer in after church.... But we didn't get to far because my car wouldn't start. So back in the house we went until my brother could come by after church to give me a jump.

So after buying a new battery I enjoyed the rest of the weekend with the kids before taking them home. I must say this was a great weekend.

But the highlight had to be my Atlanta Falcons putting it to those Eagles on Sunday Night Football.... Let's not also forget those Dawgs won Saturday and Floyd Mayweather knockout out Ortiz in a crazy turn of events. (in my opinion Headbutt Shawty got knocked out. LOL!!)

Day Eight

Well it is the weekend and time to pick up the kids. This was my biggest challenge of all because I love to cook and I love taking the kids places so part of the time we end up eating out.

Well not this time. I actual had a early morning because I had to help my best friend. ;-)..... So I left the house with everything ready to go. I made 2 juicers that would last me until I made it home.

Once I got back home with the kids they saw the calendar and started asking, "What are all the numbers for, daddy?!" I then explained to them my challenge for myself and they were happy.

As the day goes by I decided to have as my daughter would say, "Family Night." So I decided to cook the last bit of meat in the house to make tacos and burritos for everyone. Once everyone arrived the pressure was on. Smelling all that good food I knew it was over.... But I made it!!!! It was cool, too. No one even asked me why wasn't I eating. They just ate their food while I watched the game.

So thanks guys for the support!!!

Day Seven

Friday baby!!!

I was so ready for the weekend. I woke up feeling good and ready to start my day. For the most part my need for a burger has died down.

Day Six

So day six was cool. I told a lot of my co-workers about my 60 day plan and they were truly supportive. Some will even help me stay focused because at my job you can lose control quick just sitting at that desk all day.

Over all the process is going good. I was even able to get some pool time in after class.

Day Five

I woke up this morning feeling so good. This is a great day.

I got up and fixed 2 juicers to take to work this morning. I made a Apple-Beet-Carrot juicer and a Mean Green juicer. They were both great. I must say these past few days have been ruff but I am truly making it. This is really not the bad. I'm so ready for this new beginning of my life.

So I made it through the day at work and I decided to get a workout in before class. Also on my break today I ordered the workout plan for Insanity. I'm so ready to put in the work

Once I got home I fixed me a Carrot-Kale Combo. It was great...

Well off to bed I go.... Have to get ready for another good day tomorrow.

Day Four

So today was a later morning since I had a little personal business to attend to before heading to my Dean's List program later that evening.

Once I got up I made a nice Apple-Pear Juicer and I must say it was better that the one I had on day one since I used red apples instead of green ones. Here is the mixture:

1 Apple
2 Pears
1 Piece Ginger (thumb sized)

If you have a juicer you have to try it. I really love it.

I must say today was a good day and I'm going strong. I know I can make it. This really isn't that bad.

Day Three

Hello everyone,

Today is day three and I started off the day not feeling to bad. But it was Monday morning and I started to feel the pressure after putting down this All Green Juicer. The mixture goes as follows:

Use as much greens as needed
Romaine Hearts
Kale or Collards
Spinach
2 Handfuls Parsley
2-3 Celery Stalks
½ Lemon
1 Piece Ginger (thumb sized)

It was the worst. I don't know if it was the that terrible or I just put everything together wrong.

Well sad to say but by my break, I was downstairs getting some cheese squares and crackers. I know, I know!!! I shouldn't have done it but I had a weak moment. But for the rest of the day I was good to go...

Before class I was able to burn a few calories before finishing my day. Then I got home and made me a Apple-Beet-Carrot Juicer and off to bed I went. Here is the mixture:

1 Apple
2 Beets
3 Large Carrots
1 Piece Ginger (thumb sized)
Spinach / Kale – (optional)

Day Two

So today is day two of my new life. I have started my morning with a nice Carrot-Kale Combo. I put everything in my Breville Juicer and mixed everything together. I was a little hard going down at first but it really wasn't that bad.

So off to church I went and then to the gym after watching the Falcons game and spending time with family.

Once I got to the gym I headed straight to the locker room, time to weight in. So here are my stats as of day two:

Height: 5'7
Weight: 290

Day One

So this is the 10th of August 2011 and this is the beginning of my transformation. In the next 60 days I will be putting my heart and soul into the transformation of my life.

About 3 weeks ago I was told by a church member of mine to watch a documentary called "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead". After watching it I just was so amazed by the way the people on the movie put everything aside to change there life for the better. And from there I knew what had to be done especially since I watched my brother in Christ(Brian) drop over 30 lbs in 23 days of his planned 60 days.

I have been trying for the last few years to loss the weight that has been holding my body down for so long. So today is the start of a life style change not a diet. I will go 110% to take myself to the next level. So for the next 60 days I will be juicing my way to a slimmer me.

I hope you will join and support me on my life style change....
