We Are What We Eat

When the stars line up and enough things come together we are finally motivated enough to take action.For me it was several things:turning 60,weighing more than I've ever weighed 215 pounds,realizing that my 36 inch waste was no longer 36 and not having enough energy.So ,I decided to change my diet starting with a 10 day juice fast.This all begins tomorrow.Today I bought $100 worth of veggies and fruits.Whole Foods rocks.I was like a kid in a candy store.Strawberries and kale,collards greens, beets,radishes, kiwis ,blueberries,spinach,celery,and bananas.The colors are simply amazing.I have such a peace about this.What took me so long to get to this place?I asked myself what would I eat if I were diagnosed with cancer.What would I eat to give myself the best chance at maximizing my potential and that would fuel my body.I had tried Advocare it's energy drink and about 20 pills per day.I quickly learn to hate taking 20 pills per day and I still had no energy.Why can't we just get our vitamins and nutrients from our food? I believe that we can and so we will see if my juice fast will do that plus give me a much needed energy boost.I have been in Whole Foods many times but today I actually saw the fruits and vegetables in a different way.The colors were more vibrant .I shopped for only things that were good for me .No cravings were involved,no coupons used.We have all heard the expression we are what we eat.I guess it's about time  I found out if that is true.
