Down from 201 to 197.5 in one week. YAY! I’m so happy to be back on raw food. Last week I wasn’t 100% raw (chicken, hummus and pita) but I still lost weight. Amazing. Finally getting back on track to living the raw vegan lifestyle.
I’m so tired of myself. That is the best way I can put it. As I look back over the past 6 months, I must say that I was depressed after getting back up over 200 pound (203 in April) and I was just eating whatever I felt like. I guess I gave up. Just 2 years ago at this time I was really dedicated to my health and wellness. Now, I can’t even get into most of my size 12 clothes. Back to the dreaded 14. Booo! LOL
I was nearing the end of my P90X experience in late April. I really like p90x, but the benefit for me was strength and muscle gain…not weight loss. So, I was helped and discouraged at the same time, because the numbers on the scale barely changed in 90 days. Sure, diet had something to do with the lack of loss too. For the 2 weeks that I was raw on p90x, I lost 6 pounds. But that was just the 2 weeks. LOL. I need counseling, right?
Now I’m back to what truly, truly works for me. RAW FOOD! It’s a struggle. I had a run in with some teriyaki chicken that I’m not too proud about as I was working to transition back last week. Hey, but I still lost weight and my mind is clear. The biggest change: No candy! No donuts, brownies, etc. Kicking the sugar habit!! This week I’ll be 80% raw. Taking each day as it comes and not beating myself up.
Oh, I’m also taking a multivitamin and 100mg of 5-HTp each morning with 16 oz of water. Gotta start the morning off with water y’all. A whole apple and a huge class of carrot juice follow most mornings.
We shall see…
YAY! How exciting that you are seeing quick results. Are you also working out? I love your blog by the way. I can relate to so much of it. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Yes, I’m working out. Was doing P90X with my man. That ended at the end of May. Haven’t gotten back to an everyday thing, but still working out regularly.
