Where to go?

People get their motivation for change in various places. Some get it from family, friends, a job that's stale or crappy - some even get it from tv shows. Me - I guess I'm getting mine from pain. See, people say to me when they catch me stretching "Oh, is your back bothering you today?" Fact is, my back is bothering me every day. It's making me tired all the time, and it's just generally making me grumpy. So, what can I do?

First, I'm preparing to fast. I feel like I need a fresh start, and I think that fasting might help me mentally get there. I'm starting with a juice fast on Wednesday. After reading up on fasting, I've learned not to jump into a long fast without preparing for it, so I think I'll start with a one day juice fast and go from there. I'm hoping it gives me some motivation for focussing on the positive in my food choices which inevitably helps with my mental state.

I'm going to try to post every day to the blog so I can track my own journey. Read it or not. Comment or not. Help me or not - but I sure could use the help.
