I feel like crap!

Okay, yesterday one of my coworkers brought pizza for lunch. Well I had a slice of veggie and cheese.Tell me why I did that?!? All morning my stomach and my head have been kicking my behind. Can you say sick as a dog? I had no idea what the body would do to rid itself of impurities. I want to go home so bad but I'm going to tough it out. I'm sipping on my green smoothie but I feel so bad I don't think I'll be able to finish it or even eat much else for that matter. I hope y'all have a great first and prepare for victory in 2010 the year of proof! Until tomorrow.

OMG, THERE ARE NO CRAMPS!!!

So, ladies I started my cycle today and that is something I always dread. The bloating, the cramps and constant flow kills me but I've noticed that since I've changed the way I ate I'm not bothered with that. Usually around this time I would have taken like five aleve but I haven't had to do that. Today has been beautiful. Never have I had such a gentle cycle. I love it. Check back with you all later.

Okay, I realize I'm Emotional!

So this detox thing is really showing its ass. I have been letting all of this regressed emotion that's been welling up in me. I really just let it out. Went to church and my sisters had to have a come to Jesus meeting because I wasn't dealing with this detox very well. Got to love them. Well, we've made it another day meat free. Wonderful! Y'all have a great Christmas.

So Detox Begins!!!

So today I got the beginning of detox first hand. I was super tired and I had a massive headache. OMG, plus my face is breaking out too. I know my body is ridding itself of toxins but ghee whiz. I did really good today. I definitely hit the bathroom up a lot today ( lol ). Overall, I feel good because I know the outcome will be great.

Day 2

Hey,
Today has been phenomenal! I feel absolutely wonderful. I had my green smoothie for breakfast, too full to have a snack and for lunch I had an amazing salad with a balsamic vinigrete that I made. I ate that at maybe one o'clock and it's five thirty now and I'm still full. I'm in the process of cleaning house literally. Preparing for tomorrow's workout in the morning and the rest of my raw food day. I know I've been talking about Angela Stokes Monarch a lot lately and I realize that some of you may not be familiar with who she is and what she has accomplished then check out her site rawreform.com to learn more about her journey to raw food and better health.

Day 1

Today, I succeeded in not eating any meat. I ordered Angela Stokes Monarch's ebooks and I am learning that in order to repair physically, I must repair mentally and emotionally. Angela says to ask when did you begin seeing the change in your eating habits. You must also ask yourself what was going on in your life during this time as well. This is the basis to getting to the root of the problem. I am an compulsive emotional eater and I have an unhealthy addiction to food. I just confessed that I have a problem. Once you acknowledge the situation then the total repair can begin. In Angela's first book she tells us to write out our meals for the day. You only eat what's on your meal plan. So if someone offers you something and you didn't write it down on that plan, then you refuse it. I now see why I wasn't going to succeed when I initially began because I wasn't working to find out how I became emotionally tied to food. In order to truly achieve my best and healthy life I must begin within.

A New Start

Today,
I've decided to start over again. I got so caught up in the word transition that I totally got off of the path of raw living food. So I have done my grocery shopping today and tomorrow we begin again. The word is FOCUS. What got me though was that my mom looked at me the other day and said,"I knew you couldn't do it. I knew you wouldn't stick with it." It eats me up to be told what I can't do. I understand now when people say you won't be supported. So this time around I'm keeping my mouth close to my family because they will only tell me why it won't work or why I won't be able to achieve. Oh, I know since I'm letting my youtude family know about my blog my personal Judas in the form of a first cousin will be tuning in because she seems to enjoy watching whatever I do and I know it's not for support. I got your number kid! Don't you love your haters? Any way, here I go again. Check out the blog daily to hear how everything is going.
