on May 14th Hannah and I began our juicing journey.

Hannah juiced a total of 15 days

I juiced a total of 30 days

we’ve both followed up by continually following a nutritarian diet, with some room for a good time here and there. i mean, we live in chicago…that’s what people do best here. eat & drink.

i’ve also been on a rather strict, but very ENJOYABLE fitness regimen. Working out 5-6 days a week and rotating weight training (day 1: arms, day 2: legs, day 3:core & repeat). refusing to “live by the scale” and trigger bad old-habits i promised myself i would wait a full two months before doing my first weigh in. i just realized when i looked at the calendar, it’s only 4 days away. time to put in the extra umph and make it count.

basically where i’m going here with this is that, it’s true, we don’t have to live by the scale. i know whatever number i see, i’ll be happy because i know that i’m taking care of my body and that i didn’t race to gain weight, so to be fair, i can’t necessarily race to take it off. patience is key and winning comes to those who work hard for their goals.

eat right, work hard and appreciate the small things.
