JORGE CRUISE RECIPES

I am struggling this past week, and the scale is showing signs of my stress!  Up three pounds from my 167lb.  My two year old washer is now officially broken, and had been leaking underneath it for about  a week, maybe two weeks now, before the floor started showing signs of sponginess, and now it looks like ceramic tile was the better choice for this area.  Luckily I have enough left over tile from two years ago still sitting in the corner waiting for me to get my second wind back so I'll do something with it.  Two years ago I finished our kitchen/family room remodel with my best friends help.  My contractors worked on the hardest parts in our kitchen, such as the plumbing, electrical, drywall, hanging cabinets, laying granite, and our lighting.  My friend helped me paint, and lay the hardwood floors in our family room, and in the laundry area, and  I laid the tile in our kitchen and pantry floors.   I drove to the dump over thirty times that year, and threw a counter top up on my truck that slide across and busted  my back window out in the process.  I never felt so tired in all my life as when I was working full time, and renovating.  I feel like I've been hibernating for the past several years. Now our plumbing in our bathroom sink is stopping up, Drano is not helping, our shower faucet is leaking from the spout and near nothing is coming from the overhead spray...  Cry, Cry, Cry, Cry, Cry. Plus I already can't stand the holidays...

Okay somebody stop me right here!   My blessings are: I better COUNT THEM:  I have a roof over my head, too much to eat, a warm cozy bed, clothes on my back, a truck that runs (with gas in it), shoes on my feet, a job, a paycheck, health coverage, a 401, 3 weeks vacation a year, co-workers,  friends, and a family who loves me most of the time!  Okay I'll shut up now.  WOW, I have a lot plus the three pounds I don't want! 

Maybe this will help create a spark!   Sometimes we learn by reading books, or some of us learn by a more visual approach and this is why Jorge's site on You Tube is a nice change to sink our teeth in to. For example;  he has all his recipes, and messages on video. It helps to see how he makes his delicious shakes,  and all the products he uses.  So go to You Tube on the Internet, and type in Jorge Cruise.   He has a lot of good information to absorb.  I've got to get a grip, and I've got to get my second wind back in following the BFC plan more accurately because I'm eating the BFC way, but I am pigging out at the same time.  For some reason my appetite seems to have made a change from feeling satisfied,  to feeling hungry all the time.  Hot Tea helps but not all the time. Maybe it has to do with a lack of eating a lot of fresh vegetables, because I haven't been eating them like I was before.   Back to the drawing board then.    To the Girls, how do you do it when you just don't feel like doing it?
