Day One

Weight: 242.2 lbs - 8:30 AM

Welcome:
To My Juice Diet 2012.
I had watched the documentary Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead, which features juicing as a way to radically improve your health, it's about a unhealthy over weight guy who had turn his life around by using a green juice diet.. it really got attention... good piece.


As you can see in photo to the left or above.. I am way out of shape. I do not get much exercise in the winter. I am laid off at this time... because my work is seasonal. And please.. excuse my writing. I am not a pro I am just a normal guy..(well don't ask my wife that ) I am just wanting to log my diet progress as I go and share with others my Juice dieting ideals, recipes and maybe even swap knowledge with my readers if any..lol.

LET ME INRODUCE MYSELF

My name is Tim, I am 45 Yrs young and a one pack a day 30 yr smoker, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and with now COPD.
I went to the doctor the other day, because I got worried about my health I was putting on a lot of weight fast, as you may of noticed in photo above... figured I 'd better get checked out. I was a heavy beer drinker back in the day and thought about my liver maybe swelling. so the doc recommended I go get a blood test and a CT scan done, so I did.

My results: well got good news the CT scan showed nothing wrong, blood test come back my cholesterol level is high, I am on the boarder of becoming a diabetic. Triglycerides are high, but my blood pressure was normal.

I do take med's for both high blood pressure, high cholesterol and have for over two years now. So I feel good about that.

Reasons is I want better myself is.. I have a wonderful family to worry about and who depends on me.

MY HEALTH


According to the Doctor, I am in good health,to some what.. no major damage from the years of my abuse, other then my weight, and not enough cardiovascular exercise.

MY GOALS:

What I want to is loose 40 or 50 lbs, be healthier, fit. I am going to try to quit smoking

I am starting a juice diet today I weigh 242.2 lbs today and it's 02/04/2012 Saturday Morning.


Starting out I Had a cup of black coffee, begin Juicing at 8:30 AM.
begin with one orange 3 stocks of celery, half a cup of blue berries, two strawberries, 1/2 bundle of turnip greens, one lemon.. AND GET THIS I also added one whole jalapeno for a kicker ...whew, and a couple of small carrots. I think that was it.

I drank about two glasses of it. wow got a kick. but did not taste to bad. I do think I went over board on this one, I will learn as I go.

I am not following no one else's program. I want to discover on my own, the different taste I can create. I think by doing this, I will have a little fun with it as well as getting healthier.

Done some exercise, trying a thirty minute work out, (3) sets of each (20) sit ups and (20) push ups also adding weights to my program starting to curl (25 lb) dumbbells.

I want to start walking a few blocks everyday until I can start jogging. I am a smoker and way out of shape, I will do this after every lunch..I hope.

Thanks again for your interest by reading, I will keep you updated daily.
wish me luck. Well hope bud light is a juice ..lol one day weekend only!
