My inspiration and starting point

Welcome!

So this is my new adventure... blogging and juicing!
For now I'll introduce myself and give you the opportunity to become as inspired as I now am with the world of juicing.

Where it all began...
I'm Jess, a 25 year old Teacher. 
2013 was a huge year for me, I moved out of my parent's house in the Midlands (scary in itself!) I then moved to Switzerland alone where I now work in Zurich as an English Teacher. I made this change for many reasons, but perhaps the reason I talked about the least, (which was actually the one driving me to do it the most) was that I wanted change. I wanted a blank canvas, I wanted to feel challenged and I wanted to start again. I guess this is exactly how I now feel about my health and lifestyle.

I would not consider my current state to be in desperate need of change. I watch every TV show made about diet/obesity/health and scare myself on a regular basis that I will drop down dead tomorrow. I eat a balanced diet without a doubt. I enjoy vegetables and fruit but I enjoy cake and pizza more. Who doesn't?! Be honest! I am moderately active; I love to run, it makes me feel free and happy. I don't run every day, I don't run until I feel sick and I don't compete in every race within a 100 mile radius of my home. I just enjoy running in the fresh air and cannot get my head around the gym. Running/rowing/cross-training in front of a wall does not fill me with any feeling of accomplishment. I like to move to somewhere!!

The initiative to change the way I eat (and live) has always been a 'next step' for me. I am very relaxed when it comes to food, I eat what I fancy! Which of course is healthy in terms of 'the happy factor' but not healthy for my body. I was watching some videos on Youtube recently and was directed (through related videos) to the following film…

I started to watch this with the expectation that I would have heard it all before, that it was unlikely I would learn anything new. I was wrong! I urge you to set aside some time to watch it.

Let me know what your thoughts are, I will write mine in my next post.

Jess.
