Starting my Juice Diet
Sunday, December 1st, 2013
November 30th, 2013 I was shopping at Bed, Bath and Beyond and saw a display of juicers. There was an advertisement for a documentary Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. They had the video, which I almost purchased. Trying not to be an impulse buyer, I procrastinated and did not purchase anything.
I had a few other things to do around town, but, the video started to weigh on my mind. Several times I almost went back to purchase the video. I still resisted. As soon as I returned home, I could not remember the name of the film, so I did a Google search for “juicing documentary” and found the website.
The website was offering a free viewing of the film, which I sat down and watched. It was very inspiring and got the mind thinking.
Before this day I was telling myself that it was time to increase the three days a week at the gym to everyday and I was even thinking about twice a day. I had been going to the gym three days a week, for about an hour, doing mostly cardio and some weights. I was not noticing much in the weight loss area.
I ended up watching the video a second time before bed. So you pretty much can guess what I dreamed about that night.
The next morning, which was a Sunday, I did sleep in and it was pretty nice. I woke up, jumped on the computer and Googled away, searching for information. A few hours later, I headed back to Bed, Bath and Beyond to purchase a juicer. I selected the same Breville that they used in the documentary, seeing that it worked for them.
The research I did showed that the type of juicer I was getting wasn’t as good as a masticating juicer. However, there is a large price difference between the two. I also had a 20% coupon.
My next stop was the grocery store. I loaded my cart with tons of vegetables and fruits. It looked like a ton of food in my cart and surprising only cost $45. I then went home to start my reboot.
