So the last couple years have been rougher than normal and the last year especially, losing 2 family members within 2 weeks, a job lay-off, moving twice to different cities, roomates, a new relationship, severing relationship with my mother, a few accidents, a hospital stay, allergies, narcolepsy, nerve damage and chronic pain has led to the acculmination of nearly 40 lbs since last october. This week i am starting on a raw juice diet for health and weight loss. I have a severe gluten allergy and i ate bread last week so this week i am dealing with acne, tiredness and general discomfort. I am tired of being sick and tired.
I am a registered yoga instructor who is too embarrassed to even go into a yoga classroom right now. Between my weigh and the left side of my body beinng weak due to an electrical shock accident and last month i fell down a flight of stairs cracking my skull and giving myself a brain hemorage so my strength and balance aren't too good right now. I should be happy, I live in a beach community in San Diego. My boyfriend is loving and affectionate mostly. However, I am getting to sleep at about 5 or 6 am, not eating right and not exercising.
When I lived here before i did 20 hours of yoga a week. I've never been thin but I kept my weight at 162lb for a few years, it might seem like a lot but I was pretty content with it. I am 5'8 and have always been broad shouldered and big, so at 162 I am a size 6 and that is fine with me. Presently none of my clothes fit me. I love clothes. I don't know if its because i am sad or if its just the narcolepsy but I have to try something different.
So I am preparing for a juice fast. I want to lose 40 lbs through diet and exercise and stop the allergies. I have fasted before, but not for any extended period of time. However, i never bought a juicer and took it to that level.
So we will see just what happens over the next few weeks... I have my days free and should be working on a new career and business. So this is the first step...
