I decided to start on juice fast. This is based on what Joe Cross did in his documentary Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. In the movie, he was on juice fast for sixty days. Since I know I cannot do that I decided to just drink juice of different variety but from fresh fruits and veggies. For three days now, I am existing on apple carrot juice + salad. When I am hungry I would eat mango, banana or peanut. I thought if I do this i would suffer from headaches the way I usually do when I am dieting. But imagine my surprise that aside from my hungry tummy I don’t experience any discomfort. Oh, I always go to the bathroom to unload the toxins. Aside from that all is well. And I decided also not to drink my BP meds. And I have been constantly checking my BP and guess what it’s normal! I love what I am doing. Hopefully I can do it for more days to come. And I am keeping my fingers crossed that I can get rid of my prednisone.

Oh no, I am not getting some spray tan machine in preparation for summer but rather I told myself that its time to get my act together and be really serious is shifting to a healthy lifestyle. When we were in a vacation with the husband I realized that I can do more if I am healthy. A lot of barriers would be destroyed if I just start to take care of myself. And so, I told myself I want change. Before I went to this journey, I watched Fat, Sick and Nearly dead. This movie is heaven sent for me. It gave me the encouragement to push myself to wellness plus it gave me an idea of what to do. This movie is about Joe Cross. It’s a documentary about his journey to wellness. Like me, he has autoimmune disease, been on prednisone and overweight. He started the juice fast for sixty days and I am so amazed on what he has done. What’s important for me was that he was able to get rid of his medication. And that is my goal, get rid of prednisone after this fasting.

I already told the husband that I think I have a problem with my eyesight. Actually I already have an eyeglass but I don’t want to wear it because sometimes I get dizzy. When we were in the airport I have a hard time reading the signs. So, another visit to the opthalmologist is a must. It’s been a year since I got an eye checkup.

I wanted to say that to my body. I wanted to command it and do what my brain says. But unfortunately my body is not cooperating. I can still feel the tiredness in it. I have lots of errands to do, places to go because of this errands, and call a lot of people. I even need to look about Morgan silver dollar. Seems like someone is up to the idea of investing this year and making good on it. I don’t know if I can do all things but I wanted to accomplished them because I promise the husband that I would. But of course, I have to do it slowly so as not to abused my body. I don’t want to get sick since we have lots of planned for this year. I can feel the pressure. Yet, I cannot do anything. Since moving for me right now is an effort.

I would say the cold weather suites me best. I already experience two extreme weather in Kuwait and based on our observation it’s best that we go to Kuwait during the winter season. I never experienced any health problems during our one month stay in Kuwait other than the winter itch. My whole body itch during night time and my skin is flaky despite the large amount of lotion I put in my body. I just hope that internally there is no problem as well. Actually to avoid the rise in my blood pressure I only ate steak twice. hahaha. I remember on our last vacation in 2009, we always ate steak at TGIF and it was too hot. This cause my BP to raise and when we come home I was treated via oral chemo. I am now praying this is not the case now. I hope that when I have my test next week, everything is okay.
