The 30-Day Reboot Challenge

I just finished watching Joe Cross' amazing documentary, Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead.  What an motivating and inspirational film! I must first say about three months ago, I stumbled on Joel Fuhrman's Eat To Live program. I am a huge fan and have been applying his ethics and techniques to my lifestyle. In the past three months I have changed my diet from eating processed foods, meats and sodas to 90% fruits, nuts, beans and vegetables.  In that time I have lost 26 pounds and feel much better.
     When I was invited to the Fat, Sick and Almost Dead campaign, I thought, why not?  After watching the video, I am even more inspired to keep my diet going and improve my health even more. I accept the 30-day challenge and am going to begin tomorrow, Monday, July 2, 2012. I plan to juice for the whole 30 day program and follow thru with the plus dinner reboot, which is a juice all day program with a plant based sit down dinner. 
     I have been sporadically juicing for over 5 years now. I own an awesome Breville juicer. Like Joe's new found friend, Phil, I, too, am a truck driver. The big difference is I do not do long haul.  I am a short haul delivery driver of a 26 foot bobtail truck.  But I do share the same dilemma of the ability to juice all the time.  So my challenge will be to overcome that obstacle.  I do, however, have the luxury of living and working in a very health conscious Northern California community so access to juice bars should not be a problem.
     I will do my best to update my progress and my even try to journal my adventure.  I am very active with my work and play in a band and have family and friends that I share my time with so this will be fun!
   Here I go.....
