Funny way to start a juice fast.

Well I did actually start my juice fast this morning, and I actually don't feel like my throat has been cut or that I am missing out...................yet.

Anyways I have been baking this morning for my friend that has just had a baby and is going to be in hospital a bit and I just know that she is going to be less than impressed with the hospital food, so super paleo baking lady to the rescue.

I found this recipe by mistake on NomNomPaleo while I was lurking around there looking for something for dinner, the actual recipe is on the Primal Palate site.
These cookies are amazing!They taste just like a traditional choc chip cookie, they are very soft though so you can fix this by leaving them in the oven a bit longer to let them dry out more, DON'T FORGET THEM they will burn and they are not nice when they are burnt, or if you don't trust your memory reduce the amount of maple syrup you use by 1-2 tablespoons.
Another thing to remember is if you make BIG cookies, watch the serving size. I generally make them teaspoon sized so that I CAN have a couple because it is a bit hard to stop at just one.

I don't think a visit will get turned down if I turn up offering these cookies and a tray of paleo brownies do you?

Starting Again...............

Hi everyone out there in Internet land!

So this blog is going to be dedicated to my crazy adventures in losing the last few kilo's that have stubbornly been holding on for the past year. I previously had a blog that was about the main part of my weight loss mission and my time with weight watchers, as I started moving away from the weight watchers principles and looking in to clean eating a paleo the blog died a slow horrible death until I finally deleted it at the start of this year.

So where to begin 3 years ago this was me
 I was 144 kilos probably more being honest, I couldn't walk far , I was a horrible horrible person to be around and ended up pushing people away leaving me with very few friends.

I joined weight watchers and slowly muddled my way through






















And did some cool stuff along the way like a 5km fun run/walk entered my first 1/2 marathon(and finished) did a 20 km ocean race in the waka. And the biggest thing is I lost 50 kilograms and ended up looking pretty damned good. 


I am also now studying Diploma in Applied Fitness with my end goal of that being that I become a personal trainer and can help people that are like what I used to be like.

So as a follow on from what I am studying and interested in I use myself as a test subject quiet a bit and this week I have decided to try doing a juice fast over the weekend 2 days maybe 3 max and see how it goes.
I found this website www.juicerecipes.com and have decide that this is what I am having for breakfast tomorrow http://juicerecipes.com/recipes/fruity-punch-twist-60 

And hopefully now that I have a blog again it might work as another form of motivation for me.
Right I'm out for now, hope this has been okay reading.
