DAY 60 - Day 60 - Day 60!

60 Days of Juicing and eating only vegetables and fruits. After watching 2 very inspiring movies - Forks over Knives and Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead, Debbie Mae and Bruce were inspired to clean up their act! Debbie Mae quit smoking as well, quit dairy and to date has lost 25 pounds. For 33 of the 60 days I was juicing 100% of the time, now twice a day (morning and afternoon) and eating vegetables at night - This is NOT A DIET, it is a new way of living!

I still have 15 pounds to go and will continue my journey!
