It’s day 15 and I’m coming out of a serious valley experience day 12-14. Let’s just say I was only about 50% raw on those days. I was tested and I made it. I ate cooked food on Friday and Saturday. I felt really bad about it. I realized that I was very sad about…

Day 10 and 11 – Bloated is the Word That Comes to Mind
Bloated. That is the only word I’ve been focused on for 2 days. Why. Because I’ve been a little down following last week’s high after losing 5.5 pounds. I’m back to 200 pounds. I think it’s mainly bloating and water since I always gain 2-3 pounds each time I have a period. Lots of women…
Day 9 – Truthful Eating
Day 9 I reflected on how I’ve lied about my eating in the past. I’ve lied to others about what I consume. Told my baby that I’m eating right while he’s on the other end of the phone and can’t see the Ben and Jerry’s in my hand. I’ve lied to myself about my use…

Day 7 – The Promise Land
I’ve made it to the mental promise land of 7 days. I am so proud of myself for staying on raw foods. Sure, I’ve had a few pieces of candy and a run in with my baby’s home cooking, but compared to the terrible eating habits I’ve been practicing for the past few years, this…
Day 6 – More Weight Loss and a Little Cooked Food
I think I must have been detoxing yesterday because I slept until 11 am and when I got up I wasn’t hungry. Had some fresh squeezed OJ about an hour later and then did a lot of water the rest of the day. I snacked for lunch (2 nut/date balls and a pickle. I know,…

Day 4 – Hooray for Weight Loss
Day 4 I went from 202.5 on Monday to 200 pounds. So glad to see the scale move. I’ve been doing P90X with my baby and all I’d lost in 30 days was 3 pounds, so this is great. I like P90x, but I think weight loss is 80% about what you eat. I’m so…
Day 3 – Driving Away From Fast Food
I lost my mind a little twice yesterday but I woke up the second time. First time was with a little mini Almond Joy. That daggone candy jar again. More will power was on the way later in the day. Oh Fast Food, You almost got me, but I won. Nothing like sitting in the…
