Reboot: Day 1

Here begins day one of my participation in the Bzzagent.com campaign, Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. As a Bzz agent, I joined this campaign a couple of weeks ago and today I embark on a journey of health and rebooting the body. First of all, let me say that I am with out a doubt, hungry! With that said, I digress. I begin today weighing 196 pounds. I am 6'1". My first day of my reboot was probably a typical start. I woke up at 4am for work. Proceeded with my regular morning routine with a few exceptions. I did not make coffee and I did not cook a breakfast. In stead, I slammed a giant glass of water and, because I hadn't gone shopping yet, prepared a hemp protein shake mixed with water. I figured that was as close as I could get to juicing without the juice ingredients. I got to work at 5am, did my paperwork and went out to start up my truck. Low and behold, it wouldn't start. Short story, the starter was fried and waited 3.5 hour till the mechanic arrived and replaced the starter. 3 hours late, no worries. I surrendered to the events early and decided to roll with it. I was late, but was not going to stress on it. Something that would have been difficult to do hopped up on coffee. I plugged on through the day and found myself famished by noon. I found a great little vegan restaurant in San Francisco, the city I was delivering in, and ordered one off their juices named, no joke, Buzz! It consisted of burdock root, daikon, ginger, kale, chard, spinach, carrot, beet, celery, lemon, turmeric and blue green algae served in a 12oz class for $12. It was delicious! I made it through the rest of the route with a liter of water. On my way home I stopped off and picked up supplies. When I got home at 5pm I was famished again. So, for dinner I created the Vegesaurus! It consisted of kale, chard, carrot, celery, crispy pink apple and ginger. I had 2 12 oz glasses of this masterpiece and am off to the gym. After the workout I will head off to bed and rest for the next go. Overall I feel pretty good. A little shaky from no coffee and starting to get a tinge of a headache,(more juice!) I'm a little more tired than usual, but not too bad. We'll see how easy it is to wake up tomorrow at 3am....ugh! Thanks to Bzzagent.com for allowing me this opportunity to participate in the awesome campaign!
