Juicing

I have always been a fan of juicing.

Its a matter of commitment for me.

After my husband and I watched Sick Fat and Nearly Dead on Netflix one night I decided to bust out my old juiceman juicer. I have been researching juicers for a few months and I know that other types of juicers provide a higher quality and quantity of juice, but this one works for now.  Baby steps.

Slow and steady wins the race.  

I tend to jump into the race full steam ahead, and then drop out.

I am doing things differently this time.

Since Sunday Jan. 1, 2010 I have made juice every morning.

Its citrus season where I live so we have been brought a lot of oranges.

Its been great to use them.

Simple easy juices this week.

Just using what I have on hand.

Delicious.

Even my husband drinks the juice.

Something I have noticed over the past few days since juicing....since making this one simple change.

(Well, I have also been staying away from sugar and white flour and I have been adding lots of plant based whole foods to our dinners.)

My energy is substantially better.  I don't feel so tired.  

My attitude about life is different.  I don't know why.  Maybe its hormones and not juice.

I am not so anxious about things.  I am soooooo much more relaxed. 

Its almost terrifying how different I feel in that department but I LOVE IT and I HOPE its the juice because then it will stay!

I have had periodermititis under my nose that has flared up, then disappeared for years, then flared up, then disappeared for years my entire life.

Its been flared up for the last two years.  

I have tried creams and they might take it away for a few days, but then it returns.  

It appears the flaring up is settling down this week.  

Maybe its coincidence.

Time will tell.
