Day 6

4:29am: Up and Adam and still feeling a little tired... well, not so much as tired because I feel I had gotten some great sleep... but more groggy I guess... but it feel so awesome to sign on to my blog this morning and low and behold I see my Son has joined 2002drop! Hi Son! I Love You!!! ;)

I Thank God for him... for if it was not for my Son I would not have consider doing what I an doing now... He is an awesome Son who really cares for his Dad. I feel that both my Sons and my Daughter care for me... I had the privilege of having him stay with me back when I was living in Pahrump, NV and it was so awesome... he had shared his life with me in the world of healthy eating and exercise. I must say at first my mindset was gun-ho... but after awhile I started to lag in my regimen and I can imagine that could be disappointing to family members that want to see you healthy... even more so want to see you live out your days well into old age. But again I am so happy I had that time to spend with Rufus the III for it was not in vain... For he had planted a seed within me that has finally harvest. and for that I thank God for having him in my life!

Cleanse Time!!!!

Feeling Good at 4:00AM!

Well it's day 5 on my cleanse and I feel great... I actually been up since 12AM... went to sleep around 8:45pm yesterday... I have found that being on this cleanse has it's pros and cons... I feel good... not as hungry but I find myself sleeping less... It makes me wonder if ones diet controls how much rest you are able to obtain. even though it's only day 5... I can tell my body is beginning to heal itself... last night I went to Walmart to pickup some laundry detergent and some bleach... typically I would grab a shopmart cart and ride around the store to go pick up my items... but last night I felt the need to walk through the store and get what I wanted... again I felt great... not much back pain that I can remember but I didn't have to stop to take a break before continuing my walk. I thank God for guiding me through this new way of eating... I just pray that I don't treat this new way of getting healthy like all of the other diets I have tried in the past. Basically starting off strong and then letting the cravings get the best of me.

I await for others to join my blog but it seems that the blog I have started have intimidated some of my family and friends... the fact that I have chosen to go vegan. They fail to realize that my approach to them is not to try and convert them... but to seek their support on my new lifestyle change. EXTREME... lol... that word seems to be very popular when it comes to those that are easily defensive... and I am just as guilty because I used that word many times in the past when it came to those that have approached me on different topics that share information that can better your life. So on that note I have to check myself... all I can do right now is do Rufus and make it happen for me and nobody else. Because no matter what I am the one that knows my body and knows what it is going to take for me to shed this fat.

This is going to work!

Well it's 4:41am and I have decided to create a "get healthy blog" inspired by my wife Jean... she is an avid blogger... I on the other hand am not... I can't stand reading however I love to write... well that seems like an oxymoron... lol... anywho I feel that it is important that I start blogging to support my sweet and dear wife for she is struggling hard with our new lifestyle change. We have decided to start vegetable juicing as of June 10th... between now and then we will be doing the "Lemon Aid and Sea Salt Cleanse"... so far I am hanging in there... I am on my 4th day amazingly enough I am feeling pretty damn good... prior to starting I felt that my heart rate was extremely high... now I don't seem to be winded as much after walking and I am not as hungry. Don't get me wrong... I do have taste-bud flares whenever I am on FB and see posting of cooked foods... but I just have to stay focus and condition my brain to the following words “I will not let my fat kill me!”

I have allowed myself to be trapped in this fat shell for over 17 years… and as you can imagine that can be pretty damn depressing. I mean right now I am basically carrying 22 bowling balls over my natural weight. That’s madness to the highest level… I feel writing all my feeling and ideas will help me get through this journey to get back to 200lb… and keep off the 22 bowling balls. So I thank you for reading my blog and I ask that you pray for the success of our journey to shed our shell of depression.

God Bless!
