I am having a really easy time this go round. I guess it is due to knowing what to make? Or the fact that I have many reasons to do it. Like weight loss, better health, more children, more energy etc.
I have found next to no interest in food since starting smoothies. I find that odd beings I generally eat all day long. Must be getting what I need. THAT is a very good thing!
I have had more energy. Just not as much as I would like. Hoping it picks up here soon. But I guess more time on this diet will produce that.
Last time I had a HUGE desire for the sweet desserts. This time while I would like to try one and have the stuff to make it I just have to small of a desire to make one. I am glad. Green smoothies really help there!
Today I had a green smoothie(1 pint) and 2 cookies, one taste of a flax cracker I made. And I have been up for 0ver 8 hrs now. That is not much considering how I was eating. But I just dont need it. At least I dont feel like I do.
Happy Raw Day to you!

In less than 4 days...
I went from painfully tight skirt to a nice fitting one! I was shocked to see my skirt fit so well after just a little bit of time! I am so pumped and ready for this thing! 11 weeks will fly by me! I am so excited!
I have done well! Mostly salads,smoothies and fruit.

Raw Rehab...
I think it is funny that last night I decided to go on this journey again and was having a hard time deciding a short term goal to go with my long term goal. And this morning I searched Penni Shelton on youtube again. I found she was doing a 11 week thing. 11 weeks! I can do that!
I signed up for the whole thing. I am part of the vault and all. I had a hard time posting the pictures. I found clothes that were tight tight but would leave no doubt in my mind that weight was leaving me. I must say I was surprised it looked so bad. (Should have at least fixed my hair not that that would change the look of the bulge though)
I am ready to do this! I am excited and still kinda bummed that I look so bad. It will change. And soon! I really want to go to a raw food meet up but not at this weight. Hopefully after the 11 weeks I will.
I have already started but it really starts 1/9/10.
Breakfast was a Banana. I also had a qt of water today. I am now heading to the kitchen to make a good salad. Food finally sounds yummy right now. I am really trying toi eat when hungry and not when not.

Going raw...again...
Today I am going raw again. I have played around with it several times. I was raw (plus cooked hummus) for 3 mths last yr. I lost 30 LBS in that time but for the last 2 weeks of that time my weight did not move. I was frustrated and quit.
I have been feeling really depressed and down. Completely unmotivated in everything. I had been thinking of starting again but was putting it off. Yesterday I measured myself and I was measuring at what I was before going raw last yr. I have gained it all back. I have noticed this week my clothes not fitting again. I am tired of it.
I do not own a scale but last yr I was 160. I am 5 ft tall. And about a size 14 or 16 pant not sure since I generally wear skirts.
I love raw foods a lot. But generally quit due to money (even though if I were honest I know I could make it work) or like last time after having a stall in my weight loss. I am determined to continue as long as it takes to lose the weight. I am hoping to stay on much longer than that but I have to have a goal to meet.
I will post my measurements later. I would like to get down to 125. And a size 8 or 10. I am 26, been married 8 yrs. Have 5 children.
I got my urine tested yesterday at the chiropractors. My sugar,salt and nitrates were super high. ( I have hypoglycemia)
I want more children. But need to get my health in line first. My last birth was bad and ended in c section due to my poor health. No caring to do a repeat of that.
So here's to good health. I will post my daily foods and thoughts on this.
