Diet

I along with many Americans am over weight.  I'm not going to be on  the show my 600 lb life, but I could stand to lose about 40 pounds.  My wife and I watched a video the other day talking about how to lose weight.  The video was an hour and a half so I won't go into much detail about it in this post.  The main thing I took away from the video was that we don't always need to make huge changes.  The idea is to start incorporating things into our diet so that we eventually get to the point where we say, I can have that but I don't want it rather, than I can't have that.  With that said I am starting to add juice to my diet.  Not the juice you buy in the store but juice from vegetables and fruits juiced at home.  Yesterday was my first day adding juice to my diet and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised.  I had a small glass of juice in the morning for breakfast and that was it.  I stayed full until lunch, which is no small feat.  I felt like I had more energy, and felt a little clearer.  I was amazed.  The juice contained carrots, spinach, parsley, cilantro, apple, cucumber, and celery.  The juice it looked a little off, it was green after all.  But it tasted quite good.  I will keep you posted on how it goes but I am excited to see if making a few small changes will help me feel better.  On a side note I am cutting out all soda.  Will let you know how it goes tomorrow.

That is all
