The easy way to lose weight through juicing
Yes, it’s been awhile since my last post causing an intermission break. I have now completed my move from Australia to New Zealand and am just sorting a bigger fridge to get back onto juicing as small fridges, produce and juice just don’t fit. The above photo is how my fridge looked in Australia which was a 530 ltr fridge and ever so Perfect for all of the produce but alas a 161 ltr fridge just doesn’t ‘cut it’.
Thanks everyone and looking forward to posting again real soon. :))
When I was in New Zealand, I was so out of my usual routine of going walking every morning but…..yes, here comes the ‘but’, it was soooo cold in the mornings, often frosty or foggy.
My nice warm bed was much more enticing.
Well… it happens!!!
I was making up for it in other ways because most places I stayed at, I just parked the car at my accommodation and walked everywhere.
The first time I walked from the road level up a very steep drive to the first level where the car was parked, I reckon it must have looked so funny.
Picture this… red faced, puffing, oh and had to stop and look at the view a few times just to catch my breath you know, haha!!!
By the time I’d gotten to the next level with steps, one of the residents wanted to chat. That was so funny, here I stood puffing, sweating and all he could say was, ‘that’s a really steep drive, isn’t it!’
After catching my breath, I headed up to my apartment with more steps.
From the carpark level to my apartment was 33 steps.
I was staying in Paihia in the Bay of Islands, New Zealand for two weeks so didn’t use my car much unless going further afield.
As I was determined to make a change not only with doing my juicing whilst on holiday but also to make it up the drive without stopping a few times to admire the view, haha, I devised an easier way of doing it.
I’d count the steps from the roadway to the first level which was 200 steps and I allowed myself to have a ‘breather’ at 100 steps.
I had to go down to come up, so by doing this almost everyday, by the time I left, I could quite comfortably do the 200 steps just by putting one foot in front of the other…true determination…and then the 33 steps (actual steps) up to my apartment.
After my friend returned I was house sitting for returned, I stayed on to help with sorting, packing, moving boxes, getting stuff ready for a garage sale, cleaning the house, vacuuming etc., getting ready for the removalists to come.
In this time I did not do any physical exercise of any kind, no time for hot, sweaty exercise, haha!
Not even going for a walk.
Looking back now, I was actually doing a workout without doing a workout if you know what I mean!
I was bending, squatting, reaching, twisting, turning, lifting, going backwards and forwards so although it wasn’t a gym workout, it was still a workout.
Jason suggests to get involved in the juicing community for the support and being amongst like-minded people.
Yes and there’s a photo of lots of people on the beach. Like….What’s this got to do with the juicing community…well, there could be many people on this beach who are into juicing. and it is the community getting together.
After all, it was a lovely day and if nothing else, the scenery is pretty good.
One of the key ingredients to succeeding is motivation and being mentally prepared.
I watched Jason’s movie called ‘Super Juice Me – The Big Juice Experiment’.
For me, I found this was the boost I needed for motivation and it may be for you too.
Surfing the web is great for inspiration too. Check out other juicy sites, Facebook juicing sites, pinterest for recipes and ideas, etc.
The beauty and grace of the Great Central Sun beaming down upon us breathing warmth and Light into our bodies is surely an inspiration.
