Reboot

A few weeks back, I was searching through Netflix for something to watch. In the Recommended For You section there was a documentary that looked interesting. Titled "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead" I was a bit intrigued. I had just started a diet plan that was working, but was leaving me with very little energy. I watched the movie...and well, it totally changed my life. I'm not a person who says stuff like that alot, but this documentary totally changed the way I think about dieting.

The diet plan I had doing was only the 2nd time I'd ever dieted. But frankly, I was so tired of carrying around an extra 30 pounds that I had gained over the last 3 years.

The movie centers around a couple of men who embark on a 60 day diet plan of not eating any food. Rather, they are drinking juice. Juice made from fresh fruits and vegetables that they extract using a juicer. Both men lose massive amounts of weight. They do everything in very smart fashions, making sure to track their health with doctors and nutritionists advice the whole way through.

By the end of the movie, I knew that this was something that I wanted to do. I already eat no meat, and honestly enjoy every fruit and vegetable known to man. Seriously, I LOVE fruits and vegetables.
I knew I could do this.
Alan decided he would join me on this journey.

After doing a lot of research on the Reboot diet plan, and juicers, and the like...we bought a juicer. This last week we have been having juice for one meal a day to figure out what recipes/flavors we like the most. Tomorrow morning we start two weeks of the Reboot juice diet. For two weeks Alan and I won't be eating any food, but will be drinking a ton of fruit and veggies. I am going to try to update as often as possible to document what is either going to be awesome, or very trying. Wish us luck!

Pantries Galore

Not so fun fact about my home: It was built by idiots.
There is one closet that is original to the home. ONE!
ONE!
Our bedroom had closets added later, and the bathroom has a tiny linen closet that I think was built on.

Because of some moron's lapse in judgement, or lack of wife (let's be real here...if he had a lady, there would be storage galore!), I have no pantry.
It is very ridiculous. I wish this house had more storage. Or, well, any storage.
While rummaging around the internet the other day I came across these photos of some seriously sick pantries. These pantries make me want to cry. So, take a look. I hope you cry, too. At least I won't be the only one.
