Junk in the trunk & juice in my cup. motivation

Another week has passed and it is Monday again(hooray).

Hubby and I have continued our juicing journey even when we felt like giving up. This is a hectic and stressful time period. Anyone who has gone to college knows that the week before Finals is about as fun and relaxing as climbing the alps naked. Plus add a dash of family, life and work and viola' insanity. 
Does anyone really expect you to stay on a diet?

Yes indeed.

That's the thing. You have to have the motivation and the willpower to see it through because life is not going to slow down or stay calm and peaceful just so you can shed some lard off your lovely lady lumps(or fill in the blank with some other goal/ambition). Life will continue to throw curve balls your way. It is crazy and ever changing and you have to stand strong against the rip tide.

Since I was a teen(and no longer played outside from sun up to sun down)I have been the fat girl and my classmates made certain I never forgot it(isn't highschool a blast?) And even into adulthood I have insulated my body well. True there have been some factors that have slimmed me down but for the most part, I just lived with my ever present rolls.

Finally, I got tired of being "pleasantly plump" and I decided to do something about it.

My hubby has other motivators. Yeah, he's tired of being the "fat-man" as he calls himself but also, he wants to become healthier. His cholesterol and triglycerides have been bad for years. At one point his tri's were so high they were unmeasurable  somewhere around 300+. That's scary stuff. That my friends is what causes heart attacks. He has lowered his tri's quite a bit and his bad cholesterol is in a good range but his good cholesterol needs work. Also my hubby has had high blood pressure--for as long as I've known him.

Today he went to the Dr.s and his blood pressure was 122/80. yay!

We are both still losing weight, slowly but surely and we have incorporated some exercise into our routine(which should give it a kickstart)
I will update you on hubby's weight next week.

As for me. I am hovering at 161lbs. Which is the lowest I have been since I was a pre-teen. I am very excited at the idea of dropping into the 150s. C'mon stubborn body--just 2 more pounds. *Glares at belly role* *sips juice*


Hopefully folks, next week will bring some short term goals.

What are your goals? Want to give em a try? I bet you can do it.
