Day 1

I know saying "Today is the first day of the rest of your life" is a HUGE cliches... but I don't care. So much in my life has been going in a direction I did not wish to take. The past few months (and years if we are being completely honest) my life has been chaotic. I have always used excuses such as the outside world, or circumstance, other people, "it's too hard"... the list goes on... as to my semi disaster of a life. A small list of things going not so great in my life includes:

-Diabetes Type 1 (which is wayyyyy out of control)

-Microalbumine in my urine (early signs of kidney failure)

-Discoloration in my feet (Looks like freckles but is actually a lack of oxygen)

-Weight gain (I'm at an unideal weight of 215 lbs at this point in my life... aka Not healthy)

-Feeling fatigued

-Depression

That is the basic list, but it could go on. Instead of contemplating the parts of my life that have turned in a direction that I don't want to go, I have decided to just turn right around and start going toward the path I want, truly within my heart and soul, to follow.

Today is day 1 of a juice feast and an anti-television watching 30 days.

I am going by the guidance of Juicefeast.com for my juicing this next month. So far so good, but it is only day, so we'll see how things progress. I suspect that the detoxing of my body will begin shortly. I have also ordered a couple of things to help me detox quicker and give me the nutrients I need. Juicing in itself will do a great job getting me healthier, but after years of neglecting my body and my health, well lets just say I can use all the help I can get.

So why no television? Because I waste hours of time watching television which does nothing for my mind, it's just there to numb my mind... and often it's not even that good. I will stick to watching documentaries, video posts from raw food bloggers and other juicers, and reading.

The first book on my list is one recommended by my good friend David, "Conscious Loving".

Anyway, that's what I have for day 1!
