Another Crazy Adventure

So it has been forever and a day since my last blog post.  I will just chalk it up to lack of inspiration.  Sure, I could say laziness, but...

I was sitting home a couple of days last week nursing a pulled muscle in my lower back.  I got a chance to catch up on Netflix because I was unable to do anything else.  I watched a documentary called Fat Sick and Nearly Dead a Joe Cross film.  After that, I watched Forks over Knives.  I was ready to saddle up!  I sent Kelly a text that I would explain our next adventures to her when she got home.  WOO HOO, here we go!

What is the adventure?  Well, beginning Wednesday, May 30th, we will begin our 15 day juice fast.  Surprisingly, Kelly jumped on board with this one much quicker than I expected.  Beginning Wednesday, we will be detoxing from years of bodily food abuse.  We will be hungry, irritable and on our way to better overall health.  At the end we will emerge a beacon of healthy society!  Ok, maybe not, but we will be a bit more awesome than we were before we started.

The process to get ready for the fast is not quite as fun as you would think.  Had to drop $150 on a juicer. Seems like a nice one.  It is a Breville (If you are a juicer and the brand I bought sucks, shhh, I don't want to know).  We have had to eliminate cheese, processed foods, fried foods, meat, and the worst of all, today begins the first day without COFFEE.  As I mentioned above, we will be a little irritable!

On a side note, my parents have decide that they will also do the juice fast.  They bought their juicer yesterday.  While Kelly and I seem to have jumped both feet in, they seem to be dipping in their big toe.  Maybe they just didn't want to be the only one in the family with a juicer.  We shall see.  I will keep you posted.
