Ok. So, a few weeks back I was in Boston for a family wedding. I've been feeling over all crappy. I seem to have "frozen shoulder" and it is extremely painful (the pain in almost constant -- with intermittent spikes of even more pain). For this, I was put on NSAID (non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs) and pain killers. Uggh. I hate the whole drug scene. (Pharmaceuticals). This was compounded by the "you'll start off with cortisone injections -- if they don't work, then it'll be surgery). -- I have nothing against the medical profession, but it is never a cure -- it's a pill for every ill followed by surgery. I think about my thyroid medication and the fact that so many people have said "why don't you just have it taken out?"
While at the wedding, I played badminton -- well, I was wearing a fitted (snug) tweed like dress -- when I reached and swung, I ripped the seam in my dress. This was an eye opener for me. I had gained a bit of weight (I think maybe due to the NSAIDs). I saw pictures of myself -- yikes -- I look old, tired and fat! (but other than that, I looked great).
I got on-line and ordered a juicer. The problem was that it was backordered. I wasn't told it was out of stock until AFTER I ordered it. A bit annoying, but such is life.... In the meantime. I've ordered some books. I had seen the documentary Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead maybe about a year ago at the suggestion of my eldest daughter. I rewatched the show, there's new books associated with it -- I got the reboot book, the recipe book and the juice recipe book. Yippeeee! Once the juicer arrives, I'll be starting a 60 journey... Into juicing. (I'm looking forward to it... kind of...).
I'll post on this blog for the 60 days and hope to remember the before and after photo... (always important).
