The Detox Has Begun
I’m already seeing the signs of raw food detox and although it’s not always comfortable running do the bathroom during the workday, there are some great results I can already see. Mainly… The circumference of my midsection is smaller. I can tell because I’m wearing a form-fitting top today and I can really see a…

Day 16 – Back on Track
After about 3-4 days where my commitment was lacking, I was back on track yesterday. I did have a few pieces of Tootsie roll easter candy. Can’t lie about that. However, my mind set was better. I woke up at 201.5 yesterday. Damn. Didn’t get me down though. I know that I ate things that…
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 6 – More Weight Loss and a Little Cooked Food

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…
Inspired by Queen Afua
Queen Afua is giving me the inspiration I need right now, before I get lunch. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxdHN_GtC2c] Oh my goodness. I really want to be this wise and be able to inspire people too. There are so many people like me who have suffered from the “Corporate Kitchen” and food addiction and have looked for answers…
Back since Nov 27th – Raw Again
Hey, sorry for the lapse. I’m not going to be tracking the days anymore…too much work. I needed some time to really immerse myself in the real reasons why I’m making this change. I needed to really understand what I was eating. I needed to revisit how so much of my favorite food really isn’t…
