Feeling good :)

Since my last Remicade infusion, i have been feeling so much better. I think my body went too long without it so I will be going in sooner for my next infusion and will actually be meeting with my doctor! Hallelujah! Such a great thing. Lets hope the appointment is productive.

We bought a juicer!! NOT a $300 one but a great one from Walmart for $100. I actually got it for $80 because I took the one right off the shelf with no box. It works so great; we couldn't be any happier with it. We have been juicing a lot, trying to get our bodies, especially mine, absorbing all the nutrients it needs to work properly. We definitely are finding the recipes we don't and do like haha On top of the juicing, we have been sticking to a raw, clean eating diet. No processed foods! (that is if my husband isnt cheating when he is gone at work :P) What so happens is that eating clean and raw isn't so different from what I am used to. I just haven't been very good at sticking to it. Its gonna be hard work, preparing every thing and shopping for all kinds of natural ingredients but I am excited! I am excited because I feel like I am really going to learn how to cook. I consider myself a fine cook but I believe that all these raw food recipes are going to teach me to be a better cook! I have so many great recipes I am ready to try :)

Another good motivator for us: I wrote down nutritional info and benefits for each raw veggie and fruit we have added to our diet so we know what we are doing for our body. This was clayton's idea and it is awesome! I learned so much about how great these foods really are for our bodies!

One last update! I have lost 13 lbs!!! I am feeling so much more confident, and my friends/family are noticing :) Now I am determined to kick this body into gear and get it toned! I went to the gym last night with clayton and got a free pass to go with him for 2 weeks. This will definitely get me motivated! :)
This is a picture showing my journey of losing 10 lbs....when i get down to losing 15 lbs, ill take another picture! I am a little embarrassed to show off my stomach progress but whatever haha I am feeling pretty proud of the picture on the right! time to get it toned!

Also, one more thing! We bought a new rug at target. it was on sale and as soon as clayton pointed it out to me, I could not pass it up! We didn't even go to target to buy a rug. Sure enough, that is all we left with haha 

Alright. I am done now. :) Happy Blogging!
