So far for 2014, I'm down 18 pounds! I credit this to a mostly alkaline diet and not obsessing over working out. Another game changer has been the increase in my water intake.
something that's a little annoying is the consensus that people come to when they meet you, not knowing you at all that "Oh she's a big girl. That's who she is"
Honestly, Big looks different on different people, and I have seen some really large people that are way heavier than I am , but I'm the one that gets looks. So I try to focus on being a testament and it's been working. One lady on my job said that it looks like I've lost some weight. She has also asked me what I eat etc. I kind of let it slip that I wanted to be a nurse before I became a teacher, so I really got into health by doing my own research. so sometimes people ask me what I eat and why I don't eat certain meats, and also to research the side effects of medications, and what to take to relieve their colds and sinuses.
Earlier this year, it transitioned from winter to Spring type weather. I broke out like the running man all over with eczema. I usually keep a small tube of steroidal based cream for emergencies like this, but I couldn't find it for the life of me, so I increased my juicing, and I saw the rash begin to heal the same day. The next morning, the old rash was almost completely flat, and by day 4 the new rashes were flattened out also. In addition, I was pretty full and didn't need to eat as much solid foods. I continued to lose weight.
I'm really excited about what this year will bring. I am taking it one day at a time. : - )
