Day 5 100% Raw

Wow 5 whole days of nothing but raw nutrition! I am feeling very good but starting to crave a little cooked food! Today at lunch Scotty and I made some raw corn bread so can't wait to try that! It should be yummy! My workouts have been amazing! Love my flat tummy! It is incredible how my body is transforming into the new me! Well I better get back to work! Have a beautiful day!

I love my life!

I am so blessed! I have a fantastic husband who loves me more and more each and every day! I have four terrific children who respect me...most of time lol! I have a wonderful job and so many amazing friends & family! I have been 100% Raw for the past 3 days and I can not believe how good I feel! This morning didn't feel as well cause I think I am really detoxing pretty heavy. But after 2 workouts today I feel amazing! Scotty & I have changed our daily menu to having our morning green smoothie for breakfast, main raw meal at lunch, and Juicing for dinner. We are going to do this for the week and then re-evaluate on Saturday. So far so good! My favorite snack had been Red Delicious APPLES! I eat at least one a day for a snack. I love them so much! I actually crave them! I am so loving my new figure and love buying a new wardrobe in size small!! I haven't been this small in over 13 yrs I know! The biggest downfall I have is friends and family being very jealous of me and not understanding or happy for me. That hurts a lot but I will NOT let them get me down! I vow to eliminate negative people from my life! Sounds easier than it will be to do! One day at a time! Raw Rawks! Have a beautiful day! :)

The New 37!

Omg! I am so happy! I actually did meet my goal and now I am down to 129.25#!! I think like I said yesterday I had probably more salt than I am used to Sat evening at Logan's. I had a 100% Raw Birthday so that rocked! I had a fantastic workout this morning! I jogged 3.1 miles (5K) at 5.0 mph and took me 37:44 mins. Not bad and that was my goal for this morning! I have so much energy and I am on top of the world! My Scotty and I are a fantastic team! I love life and my family more than anything in the world! Once again Raw Rawks and there is nothing better!!

Happy Birthday to me!

Today is April 11th, 2010. Today I turn 37 yrs old. Wow, what a change in just less than 3 months. I am 1 stinkin pound away from my goal weight I set on Jan 20th for today. It was probably the salt I ate last night at Logan's...(My Birthday dinner and weekly cooked meal.) Scotty reminded me how much I have accomplished since we began this Journey together. I have learned so very much and feel the best I ever have in a very long time. I have went from a large to a small in tops(losing 4 whole in inches in my bust...which I miss) and dresses, size 9/10 in jeans to a size 5/6. I do still have more to lose and I have more to firm and tone. I feel the more Raw I get the more I will lose and look even better. It truly is NOT about the weight but just how my body adjusts to eating raw and more raw. I am very thankful for all the support and love you all give us! I am so thankful to GOD for giving me the wonderful, happy life I have! As long as I look good and feel good, I will be on top of the world!! Thanks for reading and have a beautiful day!! :)

Happy Saturday!

On Friday Scotty and I took off for Chicago. He had to run up there and pick up a Computer for one of their Warehouses. Then our next destination was "Cousin's Incredible Vitality Raw Food Restaurant" It was a very nice, spotless, clean, orderly place. It smelled just like our kitchen! lol They had a "salad bar" with lots of Raw dishes (they offer this 7 days a week.) Then they had a full menu with lots of choices. We picked three appetizers, "salad bar" and then had a little dessert plate. Well all this was very yummy but I realized after we left that I am much more of a simple Raw eater and NOT Gourmet! All those different dishes (too many different pestos and such) did not settle well in my tummy at all and I was sick for hours afterwards. Now today I feel very good! Right now all I am craving is an organic raw apple!! LOL So next time we visit any Raw Restaurant I will settle for one dish and be very happy!! Overall It was a great experience and the waiter, Ben and waitress, Paige were very nice and made us feel at home! It was a great atmosphere and I would recommend to anyone visiting the area!

Well tomorrow is my birthday, today we are off to take our daughter to a dance camp in Marion then going to Ft. Wayne to the Three Rivers Co-Op to pick up lots of simple lol fruits, veggies, and greens for this upcoming week!! We didn't make it last week so we can't wait to go. Then tonight is my birthday dinner with my Parents....Our weekly visit to Logan's Roadhouse! Then tomorrow all Raw baby!!!! Have a beautiful day!! Peace and Love!

What a day!

Wow, am I ever so mentally exhausted! What a day this has been. Started out good. Had a great workout at the YMCA. Then came home and my niece wouldn't go to school. So that was a fight and upset everyone. Good day at work. After school, the drama and crap started all over again and then the negative/troubled person left my home for good. I had a nice hot bath to relax and starting to feel the burden being lifted from my shoulders. I am thanking God tremendously for me and Scotty's wonderful children we have raised. We are truly blessed!

As far as my Raw today I had a yummy Fruit/Greens Smoothie for breakfast, we Juiced at lunch...very good, I was looking forward to it, then for dinner I had one bread stick and one egg sandwich. Could of been alot worse. Then had some raw snacks b4 bed. I just needed that tonight. 100% Raw tomorrow is my goal and I will stick to it! Have a beautiful day!

Tues Day 2 - 3/30/10

This morning we got home from the Y, Tricia was up and gettin ready for school. She was happy so that made me happy. Today as I was leaving work, Sarah from DCS (Dept of Child Services) and said she was coming today to check out the place was Tricia is staying. So I hurried home and busted my butt to get it spotless! Tricia went to school then after asked if Justice could come over for a little while. Sarah from Dept of Child Services came at 5 to view Tricia's room and take a pic. I had upstairs all clean and perfect. Well Scotty and I go to our Advanced Photography class and come home and Justice and Cassidy are back and they have all been smoking in "Tricia's" room. Well that upset us and we talked about it. We laid down the rules our kids follow and the same ones she needs to follow and respect!

Kinda a stressful day! But I did stay 100% Raw all day!! Yeah me!! Time for bed!
