The Beginning

I recently watched a documentary on Netflix about a man who had a rare disease and who was also over weight. His main thought about the fast was that if he took care of a scrape on the outside of his body, it would heal itself. Why couldn't this also be true about certain things that are going on inside the body. He drank strictly juice for 60 days, lost a ton of weight(not literally) and his disease is in remission. He feels great and couldn't be happier. That is my goal.

I will juice fruits and veggies for 30 days and track my process along the way.

My main purpose of this fast is not to lose weight. I know that I am going to and that is an extra bonus, but for me, it is something I need to change much more than my weight. It's how my body feels. I have woken up every day for the past 4 years with an achy back, neck, or head. I hurt all day long and it is starting to effect the things that I need to do on a daily basis to be productive. My pain has gotten to the point that I cannot bend over and change my daughters diaper without getting extremely stiff and sore when I stand back up.

I know this has a lot to do with my diet, and that is why I am starting this cleanse. I have already cut out soda from my diet and hope to never drink it again. (Coke is my weakness). I will share thoughts, feelings, and recipes as I go.

My end goal is not a weight or a figure, it is merely feeling good, so that I can enjoy my wife and kids for years to come!
