My goals continue to be to strive towards a healthy and happy lifestyle, which is a journey in itself! I have expanded my journal to include all aspects of my life. After all, our health, holistically speaking, is connected to our relationships, lifestyles, environment, spiritual life, etc.- not only counting calories and doing exercise!

Combining Juicing with the Real World - Making a Plan!
I love the graphic - although the 'drinking' we've done lately is "juicing" - not wine! However, we are indeed "shrinking" : ) We are both committed to making "juicing" a mainstay of our meals at home - at least once a day, and at times twice a day. Because of our commitment, we've had to work out a plan as we can really only juice at home and there are of course times that we eat out - whether it be at church functions, while traveling, or just having an occasional restaurant meal. What we've decided to do is juice twice a day when we know ahead of time that we are eating out. As for traveling, we will have to simply do our homework - by looking up menus ahead of time and choosing restaurants that serve healthy meals. We all know the adage - "Failing to Plan means Planning to Fail." We simply know that in order to be successful, we need to
plan ahead of time!
Ralph and I are continuing to see the scale go down, although not quite as fast as our first week of juicing. Of course, that was partially a "cleansing" so it's not surprising. We are both already into a smaller size and wearing clothes we haven't been able to wear in a long time! We also feel energized, our joint pain is virtually gone, and our general well-being is improving by the day! We're still getting in our walks although we certainly need to work towards daily walks rather than just two or three times a week. I also plan to return to lap swimming in mid-March when the Y pool reopens.

Sounds like this plan is doing great things for both of you.
