There's a joke… if you want to lose a quick 40 lbs take up chainsaw juggling. (Disclaimer: Don't take up chainsaw juggling just because I said you'd lose weight quickly)
Changing your life is hard… it's like cleaning. This last week I've come to realize that there are two ways to keep your house clean, one is to clean up after yourself, the other is to have an insane cleaning day once a week. I prefer to clean up after myself. I think that this philosophy also applies to maintaining a healthy weight. You either eat healthy most of the time, or you go on crash diets every now and then. I'm sure you don't have to be told that crash diets and crash cleaning are not the best ways to get a permanent change. This last week has been SO EXCITING!!! I got the Omega 8004 juicer, and it … (wait for it) … JUICES!
First… I knew it was coming, so I stayed home waiting for it. (I was excited!)
Then I took a picture of it as SOON as it arrived… and then again once I took it out of the box:
-
- Putting it together was actually way easy, when I opened the box they had a ton of things in pretty little wrappers, and it looked worse than it was.
-
- I love how his eyes got big, and there’s a look on his face that says “This is the coolest thing ever!”
-
- I was shocked at how small the juicers opening was, but I figured out how to get things inside of it, and the children were MORE than willing to help. (It really is a blast, and it turns it into juice just as fast as it can eat it.
-
- The children wanted to name it “The Beast” because it’s like feeding vegetables to some kind of monster, but the baby wants to call it “The Baby” because it’s always hungry.
Prior to this, the children had gotten better at eating fruits… and what helped that the most is that I have the fruits in the house… but they were still extremely uninterested in the vegetables. This night, and the next night I got the children to each drink enough to count for all of their daily vitamins… and how did it taste? Their reaction was: "YUM!" It makes me feel like I might be a good Father… now they can grow big and strong because they're getting the nutrients they need from the vegetables they'd otherwise never get.
It's the little steps that'll change your life, you don't have to do a crash diet, just add healthy to your life. This week I've felt so grateful for having more fruits and veggies in my life. I have a friend who had a never ending skin condition that went away shortly after adding a breakfast shake. There REALLY is no pill that can make up for the vitamins in real food.
