Day 1 of Wii Active 30 Day Challenge

So today I decided to add a little extra workout to my schedule. Katie from Runs for Cookies just finished her 30 Day challenge and so she inspired me to do the same. My husband is also doing it!! So here is my Day 1 photo!

The inline skating for me was really hard but I made it!! 

Day 3 on my juicing was pretty hard but I did make it all the way through the day! Day 4 was the worst!! By 5:30pm I was about in tears. I was so hungry and craving everything!!! So I made a really huge salad. I put romaine, cucumber, broccoli, tuna and a 1/4 cup of light ranch. I maybe shouldn't have made it that big but I felt like I was starving. I felt amazing after that. The next day was Friday. I started juicing twice a day and eating a salad. so far that has been working. In total I have lost 13lbs. 

On a completely different topic....My husband and I are moving!! We are moving to an apartment but its bigger, has a DISHWASHER and is all on one level. We currently live in a small 2 bedroom house with little storage and little places to put things like bookshelves. I am so excited that we got the apartment!! Plus we will be in the same complex as my mom. She has quite a lot of medical issues so it will be nice to be closer. We will also be closer to the kids' school, Larry's work and the grocery store we use. God has blessed us with the new place and I am so grateful!

Hello, My name is Plantar Fasciitis... I mean Sarah

This being my first post, I thought I would say hello. I am Sarah. I am a 32 year old mom of three (ages 4, 3, and 3) who struggles with finding time to breathe, PCOS, and newly diagnosed Plantar Fasciitis. I have been walking with Andrea as many times a week as possible. We haven't always made it out everyday, but we try. I have also been trying to be very intentional about how many calories I am eating on a daily basis and eating a lot more veggies and lean meats. My starting weight is 263 and my goal is 200 for right now. It is going to be a long haul at a healthy 2.5 pounds a week which is how my doctor wants it. I on the other hand would love to take a vacuum cleaner and suck it all out right now.
Since my Plantar Fasciitis has been diagnosed in the last two days, I am still learning and will be sharing as much as possible about that. Also if you have any questions or want to commiserate about that or PCOS, leave me a comment or you can e-mail me as well.
My Plantar Fasciitis is a small tear in the ligament that runs from my heel to my toes along the bottom of my foot. I understand that for other people they do not have to have a tear to have the same pain and diagnosis. I also have a small bone spur that we are ignoring for now according to my doctor. I have ben told that I need to wear shoes with good cushion and arch support all the time when I am standing or walking even when I am in the house which I am definitely not used to. Also, I have to lay off the long walks for a while and replace them with stretches 3 times a day, ice and rest (hahaha). The laughing is for the rest part not the stretching because as I have found out, the stretching actually makes my foot feel better. Oh, and yea for the knowledgable staff and bargain basement at Da*ve's Bo*ot Sh*op and birthday money, I now have one pair of shoes that I can wear. I am going to get back to walking as soon as possible.
Sorry to ramble. I will let you know how it goes.
Sarah

Juicing Day 2

Wish I could say that today is good but it is far from it! I feel weak, nauseated, achy, irritable, I have a headache and severe dry mouth. I want every piece of food in my house and my kids are doing everything possible to set me off. I feel so dehydrated yet I have drank 64oz. of water so far.

On a bright note....I weighed myself this morning just to see what one day of juicing did. I lost ..... 3lbs.!!!!!

 Tonight's post won't be that long because I really want to go to bed but I just wanted to let people know who are thinking of starting a juice fast to be prepared for the side effects. I have read that they are short term (3-5 days) but the side effects are caused from your body fighting you to hang on to the toxins that the juice is pushing out.
