My first decision was to stop eating junk food which was my weakness and downfall. The next decision was to stop drinking alcohol for awhile. I was never a huge water drinker, but I made it my business to drink more each day. Now a days that’s all I drink when I get thirsty. I also cut back on pasta, potatoes, rice and breads.(white starches) I started doing moderate exercise 30-45 minutes a day five days a week at home with various workout DVDs and Wii games. I stayed consistent as I started to see the results it pushed me to keep going. I started to challenge myself month after month.

As time went by the journey became much easier for me. I was introduced to juicing in the Winter of 2012 and it soon became my favorite thing along this journey. It worked for me! I started seeing more results. Weight loss, clear skin, and more energy. I stopped eating poultry and dairy products at the end of Summer 2013.(no red meat or pork in 14 yrs) I still eat seafood like salmon and shrimp. I try to avoid fried foods as much as I can, but when I do fry I use healthier oils like olive oil or coconut oil.
