Hope in change...

I keep a daily "Gratitude Journal" - have for years...

its where I write down at least 5 things I'm thankful for that happened in the day.

Somedays, the list can go MUCH longer, some days its really rough to come up with 5

... those are the days I need to do it the most....

But last night, I wrote down "Thankful for HOPE!"

What am I hopeful for?

I'm actually putting hope in something strange...

... & Amazon will be bringing me this hope...

(Doesnt Amazon deliver everything else?)
Meet my new juicer!!!!

Ricky bought this for me this weekend & now I'm just waiting for it to show up at my door.

I keep reading information - keep watching documentaries - everything showing proof & evidence of nutrition making a difference in a body.

Here's a great documentary on a guy that changed his life by juicing...

I see where people who have cancer do nothing but juice & eat plant based foods & they are cancer free now... didnt even do the chemo & radiations...

I just want to get rid of neuropathy...

Neuropathy is "damage of the nerves" ... & you would think good nutrition, vitamins & the 'good stuff' in  your system has gotta help, right?  Its just GOTTA!

I figure it cant hurt anyways...

Like Ricky said, even if it helps me 10%, its 10% better then nothing...

So anyone else ever juice?
Any great recipes?
Anyone ever do a juice fast?  I keep reading all the different plans... there's a 1 day fast, a 3 day fast, even a 8 day fast... & they say that you're not hungry - you're still getting in more food then you would probably EAT - its just juice...

I'll be heading to Sam's Club this weekend to load up on fresh veggies & fruits... & I'm excited about it...

Say a prayer if you dont mind, that this will heal up these nerves of mine...

I'll keep updates on here as well on the drinks I make...  & how its working for me.

& if you've never seen this documentary, check it out... its pretty amazing

  1. I have heard about this and have thought about doing it. I wound up doing a water fast instead for a week as a detox. The juicer looks really cool and I wish you the best of yummy juices! :) Hope it helps a lot!

    This guy reminds me of Morgan Spurlock--the guy who did Super Size Me! I'll need to put this in the netflix queue. To which the Big Guy wills say, "Is that an action movie?" ha! :)

  5. I feel bad for Ellen who just wrote a comment and blogger lost it. Blogger's such a bugger some times!
    Anyway, maybe Fred and I will start this weekend too.
    As mentioned yesterday, I eat a normal breakfast and then somewhere between then and Noon, I have two full glasses of V8 Juice. And I think to myself, "are you hungry, Mark"? And I always answer with "No". "Real" vegetable juice is better than V8 but I think that I've trained my body to drinking juice and not the donuts that are sitting all over this office.

  7. I've been wanting a juicer for quite some time now, but have to wait until the job situation gets worked out. I hope AND pray that it makes you feel better...much better, to get all those wonderful nutrients flowing through your system.
