4/11/14 - about 10 weeks on green drink

We have been drinking the green drink now for about 10 weeks
As I said before my hand is not so stiff in the morning and that continues
I have not been sick at all since starting the drink
I seem to have less stomach upsets
my hair seems healthier
I feel tired today but most days am fine
Even with only a few hours sleep I seem to get through the day with high energy
I continue to teach belly dancing at the senior center and that is fun and high energy
I am starting to do pull ups on the bar in the bedroom door every day - a beginning of improving my physicial condition
I have come to grips more with my anger at Mom no longer being a supporting mother but someone who is dependent upon me.  She is doing well and so am I

day 34 of green drink

I am finding that I have gone through detox symptoms in the past week or two with the occasional headaches and nausea and stomach upsets and aches and pains.  this seems to have dissipated

Have not progressed much on the new me other than the green drink.
The kids were sick and I began with a sore throat last Thursday - refused to focus on it - and saw myself filled with well being and healing energy.  And although tired and cancelled all activities except going to the store - it is gone without developing into anything - green drink or mind over matter?

With the green drink I have noticed some possible mental sharpening when doing my word puzzles.  In addition, many mornings now I do not have to exercise my right hand when I wake up to make it work properly.  Has been very stiff in mornings - unable to make a fist, since the 3 months in the immobilizing sling after I broke my arm the end of 2012.  Now I get up and remember later that I did not have to do anything for my hand - now that is truly awesome!!

remaking me - the beginning 2/7/14

So - here I am - not thrilled with the way that I look
I realized that I am in control here - it is my choice how I look

It is important that I am happy with me - that I am proud of me and who I am

So - I am doing the green drink with Mom
I walk the dog at least once a day up and down the hills
I practice my belly dance moves to develop my muscle tone
I do pull ups on the thing in the doorway doing 5 pull ups with toes on the floor once a day - if my muscles are not sore
I have started adding in planks again - did this yesterday and held for count of 50
I have lost a few pounds already - scale was below 180 yesterday morning for hte first time in forever
I mean a few pounds below 180

once in a while I will carefully go up the stairs two at a time - slowly to strengthen my thighs

got the mini tramp unburied and plan to start using that

And to rearrange my schedule so I do my 30 - 40 minutes of dancersize most days as I used to
