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!

Monday Day 1- New Transition 3/29/10

Over the weekend we inherited my niece. She was either going to Foster home or Whites so we stepped in and made the commitment to take her in and make sure she goes to school.

Monday morning started out very good. When we got home from the Y she was up and getting ready for school. She was straightening her hair and that was a good sight! Made me very happy.

She went to school and asked afterwards if she can go with her friends to Mi Pueblo and I said that was fine. After that she wanted to hang out with Cassidy until 9pm. I said no problem. She came home then went up and seen her dad then came home, brought her phone to our bedroom (like all the kids do every night.) This day was GOOD!!

Overall I had a high raw day. Did eat a couple processed snacks...I know my bad, but they were small. I felt wonderful and happy!!

Good Saturday Morning!

Good morning everyone. I know I haven't blogged in a few days so I will reflect on my entire week. It was a very good week. I feel great and have lots of energy. Friday was a little mentally exhausting for me. I wanted "comfort food" really bad. But I resisted due to the salt and fat content and because I wanted to stay High Raw and not blow it.

On March 5th, My Scotty bought me a pair of Size 7 super low Levi's (they are so cute) and when we purchased them they were snug and looked pretty hot on me or I looked pretty hot in them..lol Anyways I wore them again yesterday and had my belt on last hole and my pants were still very loose! It is a great feeling! Our daughter who is in a size 3/4 or 5/6 depending on the jeans, doesn't like it that Mommy is getting down to her size and can wear her 5/6 jeans already!! But we have to be very careful how we talk about it to her that she doesn't just concentrate on the weight loss and not the overall RAW feel wonderful lifestyle!

Today for lunch I am going to prepare my first RAW entrée all by myself. I am excited!! I am fixing "Pasta with Amazing Garlic Sauce." The sauce does sound AMAZING! I will share my thoughts later. I found this recipe on RFR thank you, Raw Dazzle!

Have a beautiful day everyone!!

A wonderful Wednesday!

Good Afternoon everyone! Its been a wonderful Wednesday! I feel great. Tonight I have Roman's Basketball Banquet. It is his last one so will probably be a little sad! It is a carry-in so I will do my best to not pig out and eat a raw "sandwich" when I get home! That is my goal! So please say a few prayers that I make it! lol I am looking forward to my morning workout, cause I need to pump it up a little on either incline or speed! Guess morning will tell. This weekend we are going to make some raw cinnamon rolls so those should be tasty!! I will let you know! ;) Have a wonderful Wednesday afternoon/evening and I will blog more tomorrow!! Have a beautiful day!!

My Motivation!

Good Morning! Today I am going to talk about my motivation! My motivation is my wonderful, loving, caring, gorgeous, gettin skinny husband, My Scotty! If it wasn't for him I would still be eating McDonalds every day, preparing processed foods for our family every evening, and drinking coffee lattes for breakfast every day! I do not miss this at all. I truly enjoy my breakfast Green Smoothie's, lunch Juicing, and Raw Meals and snacks. They give me real natural energy and make me high on life. I have never felt better! Thanks to Scotty, I have got down to a size 6 and 135# so far and have more to lose. I love my body and appreciate my husband for all his learning, researching, investigating, and teaching me there is so much more to life than eating out and stuffing ourselves just to get that "full" feeling! We now workout every morning at the YMCA, make Green Smoothies, Do a lot of Juicing, and Scotty prepares our Raw Meals! I am learning! My Scotty RAWKS!! Life is Grand!! Have a beautiful day!

Loving the Raw Lifestyle

Hey, I haven't blogged in a few days and I wanna apoligize. Been eating a very high raw diet despite one cooked meal on Saturday evening! On Sunday Scotty nor I were grouchy from it! We made up our minds, if we're gonna eat that, we WILL be happy no matter what! ;). I still feel amazing and I am craving our Raw Spaghetti and Onion bread! Hope to have that for dinner tonight! I am getting use to the Juicing and my body craves it, thanks My Scotty! Fills me up every day at lunch! I will blog more tonight! Have a beautiful day!

I feel Amazing!

Good Morning, Everyone! Today is Friday and I feel absolutely AMAZING. We have been 95% Raw for the past 3 weeks! I was 100% again yesterday and today we went to the YMCA and I jogged for 30 mins @ 4.7 mph for a total of 2.6 miles! Our goal is a 5K in April. Wish us luck and I am very excited! Scotty jogs on the track a little more every day! Today he jogged 1.5 miles! That is a great start. I am so proud of him. After the Y we came home and I was full of energy so I did dishes, laundry, Facebook and now blogging! LOL

For dinner last night, Scotty made us RAW Spaghetti. It was soooo delicious!!! We were totally surprised as to how good it was. We ate a piece of Raw Onion bread with it and that was the bomb! That has to be my favorite RAW meal so far! But it is fun to experiment and try new things. neither one of us are picky eaters, so that helps alot! Have a beautiful day!!

All RAW Rawks!

I must say eating all Raw is wonderful. Yesterday I did eat a few processed foods and could tell a difference last night and today! I have to find a way and it is getting easier but not to eat that crap except one or twice a week! When I do eat it I feel more tired, moody, insecure and not near as happy! And I don't like feeling like that at all! So when we go with my parents for dinner Saturday night I have to be careful and not over do it! I am full of life and love that feeling so much! I love my new body and I am very proud of it. I need to let God control and guide me instead of me going behind his back sorta speak! :) Have a beautiful day!

Sunshine finally!

Good Morning! Love this sunshine! Thank u, Jesus! It is such a beautiful day! I am drinking my morning smoothie and not digging the texture at all! Tastes like something we used to drink for a cleanse! Kinda thick and gritty! Lol Maybe its because I am so used to juicing at lunch that my body prefers that?! Not sure! Anyways, I am feeling great this being my day 4 of 100% Raw! Yeah me! I am a little sluggish...could be from lack of sleep or detoxing! Not sure but other than that I feel great!! Have a beautiful day everyone!

3rd Day 100% Raw

Wow we have made it three whole days 100% Raw! I honestly want to eat cooked food but really I don't! I am kinda craving Mi Pueblo, ok not kinda I am bad! LOL I want the chips and cheese! But I know as soon as I do, I will regret it and feel like dog crap!

This morning I jogged for 30 mins again and felt wonderful. If I eat SAD I won't be able to do that without stopping! lol So no it's not worth it!! Forget I even mentioned it!

I love my body and I will save it for Saturday night when we go to dinner with my parents. I will eat only eat half my meal and bring the rest home and give it to the kids! That's my plan and I am stickin to it.

Time for bed!! Night All!! RAW RAWKS!!

Carrot Juice RAWKS!!!!

I had been 100% Raw since 3pm Sunday. Last night for dinner we had Nachos with all raw except the organic black re-fried beans and organic blue chips. After that I felt so bad. It felt like a big glob sitting in my stomach. My body could not digest it forever! At that point I regretted eating it. It is called SAD food for a reason!! SAD=Standard American Diet! Go figure!

This morning started with a very good workout and then a green smoothie! YUMMY! Then had a orange mid-morning and for lunch Scotty made us a juice. My body was soooo craving it. Usually its a Celery based Juice and today it was CARROT! Oh my gosh, I love it and could drink it ALL the time!! My favorite so far! So yummy! Thanks, Baby!!

Tonight I am fixing kids Tuna Casserole. Scotty and I are attempting Unfried Spanish Rice. Hope it turns out! If not, plan B is a Green Smoothie!

I am off tonight and tomorrow! So excited! Need to clean house. I didn't realize how much the food we eat affects our moods and well being! I think that was part of the problem between Scotty and I, we were both just full of bad toxins etc!

I feel so good! I am so happy Scotty and I are doing this Raw Lifestyle. I am so much happier, less stressed, and overall just thankful to my hubby for opening us up to this and sticking to it!

I love my life and wouldn't change it for the WORLD!! God is Great!

What a beautiful day!

What a beautiful day! Got up this morning and Scotty and I weighed & measured one another. I have lost 20# (since Jan 20th) and 10.5" in one month! My Scotty lost 34# (since Jan 20th) and 13.5"! I am soooo proud of both of us! Then we were off to the Y to get our daily workouts! This time I have to stay positive and not let negative people bring me down and make me feel guility for being "skinny" and cute! I have worked my butt off for this and I love my body! Have a beautiful day!

Never felt better!

Today is Tues and I have been 100% RAW since 3pm Sunday. I feel sooo good. Yesterday morning I had a bad cold so couldn't push my self at the Y like I had planned. Today I really stepped it up and jogged for 30 mins @ 4.6 mph and walked @ 4.0 mph for only 7 mins a total of 37 mins on treadmill. Jogging for 10 min intervals, I truly impressed myself. I could of gone longer! I didn't have any leg cramps or side cramps like I used to. I truly thank it all to my RAW diet and having God in my life. This gives me that natural energy and I feel so high on life that I can't get enough! I love my raw smoothies. I am getting used to the lunch Juicing. They are so good for me, how could I not love them. I have realized over the past few weeks that anything is possible. Changing our lifestyle in more ways than just one, I no longer "worry" like I used to daily. I am so much happier without all that SAD food bringing me down! I am living for the present and making the BEST I can out of each and every day! Love my life and wouldn't change it for anything! I do owe a lot of my success to my wondeful, caring, honest, sensitive husband! He is my #1 fan! Have a beautiful day and I will blog more later!
