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…

Day 23
“I’ve got the power”, as that C & C Music Factory Song says. 180 pounds today. I’ve been more vegan than raw vegan the last 5 days. Today I’m back on the wagon. All raw (smoothie, box of raspberries, baby carrots…so far). My Mantra I’m not a victim of food The mind controls the body…
