Day Thirteen January 14, 2014

Today is day 13 of 'My Big Fat Juice Cleanse'.  I have been asked if I will post before and after pictures...that's an interesting question. First of all, I'm not doing this alone.  So technically, I should post a before and after picture of my sister as well.  Secondly, there is no after picture...yet!  My life lately has been a 'before' picture...now don't get me wrong, I don't think I look horrible or anything like that.  Although I have weight to lose...I do take care of myself.  It's not like you're going to find me in 'the people of Walmart photos'.  It's just that I feel unhealthy (or felt).  Weight loss is of course a goal I have, but my health and how I'm feeling in my body takes priority.

 I talked with my sister, and yes we will post a before picture...followed by an after picture at a later date.  There is such a fascination in our culture with weight loss.  I love to look at before and after pictures of people who have lost weight.  However, since being on this cleanse, I look at them differently.  Sure you can see the weight lost, but how bright are their eyes, is their skin and hair healthy looking?  These things are what I have become interested in.

I have decide to include a daily juice recipe...until I run out of ideas.
