It's Getting Harder

I will lose a couple of pounds, then I will gain a couple of pounds.  It is annoying.  But, in all fairness I have not been doing what I should be doing so I guess I'm lucky it isn't more gaining.

I believe the juicing works, I just have to get back on board.  I know that all the fruits and vegetables are good for me.  I also need to start back on my elliptical.  I just have no strength after my surgery.  I have to build it back up.

Hope it is going well for those of you out there that made a New Year resolution to stay healthier.

Down 31 Pounds

I lost 20 lbs during my surgery and recovery.  Then my husband decided he needed to lose some weight.  We decided to juice so we bought a Nutri Bullet.  We started on 12/30.  I have lost 5 1/2 pounds since I started and a total of 31 lbs. to date.  I wasn't sure I would like it but knew I had to do something to get the weight off because of my two cancer scares in 2013.  It is actually very yummy.

Breakfast:

Vanilla yogurt
Almond Milk
Strawberries
Banana

Lunch:

I eat a regular lunch

Supper:

Raw Spinach
Banana
Blueberries
Orange
2 T. honey

OR

Spinach
Kale
Lime Juice
Lemon Juice
Orange
Blueberries
2 T. Honey

I am still experimenting.  There are numerous recipes on the internet.  I tried celery which I love; however, it has such a strong taste that it takes over.
