Days 3 - 6: Moving Forward

As I noted at the start of my last blog post on Tuesday I got the news that my Aunt Susie was dying due to complications from her Parkinson's Disease.  Well Wednesday morning just after getting to work I got the call from my dad that my aunt had passed away.  After fighting bravely for many years God called my aunt home, and she obeyed His call.  Being here in California with my family back in Michigan can make things a struggle at times, and losing a member of the family is one of those times.  I was so upset by the news that I turned around and left work that morning and stayed home of Thursday as well.  Not only was I struggling to deal with the grief of the loss of my aunt while not being able to be with my family, but this threw me face-to-face with my issues with emotional eating.

Day 2: Light on the Ginger

I got the news tonight when I got home from work that my Aunt back in Michigan is dying. She has lived with Parkinson's Disease for years and it seems the God is ready to bring her home. So understandably my mind found it hard to focus on doing our first test juicing tonight, but I felt I needed to do it. I told myself that my aunt would be proud of me for taking these steps to get healthy, and she wouldn't want anything to get in my way. So I got together the ingredients, fired up the juicer, and away we went!
