After having such a rough time of it last year on the juice portion of the fast, I decided to take matters in my own hands. Last year I bought prepared juices and had a fairly rough time. I’m not sure if it’s just that my stomach didn’t like the extras that come with commercially […]

Last year, I did a milk cure for 3 weeks, blogged it and regained my health and perspective in the process. This year, I’m going to do it again. I’ve had a number of people ask me why I’m doing it for a second year and if its going to be a yearly ritual. This […]

Its been about two months since I blogged anything. It was an unintended hiatus due to a number of factors and I apologize. I still have a lot of passion for this blog and what I’m doing. But *things* got in the way. So I’ll let this first blog post of 2013 just serve as […]

So I’m still at that darned set point. My weight this month fluctuated between 180 and 183. Not horrible. But still oh so frustrating. Part of me wants to blame Hurricane Sandy for this. But even though it would be convenient, I can’t. I did it to myself. In 2003, I went through Hurricane Isabelle. […]

Another month of frustration. I’ve lost a pound this month. 1 pound. Which means I’ve only got to lose just over one pound to reach the low of 179 that I hit oh so briefly 3 months ago. So I’m frustrated. Earlier on this journey, I was losing four to five pounds a month. On […]

This month has been an exercise in frustration. Within a day or two of writing my last post, I was down to 179 pounds! Wow, 21 pounds gone and I was out of the 180’s. Life was good I thought. But then I ended up gaining about 3 pounds in the month and when I […]
