30 Day

It has been a few months since I wrapped up my first raw challenge.
While I found the diet intriguing, at this stage in my life, I am not ready for a 100% raw lifestyle. I really struggled physically and mentally during that challenge, and as the months have gone by, I believe [...]

The last day of my first raw diet trial.  I say first, as I suspect later down the road there will be another trial or more in my future.
Where am I at right now?
As I stated yesterday, I have added a bit of cooked items back into my diet.  Mostly just a couple cooked eggs [...]

Day 29 – Raw Diet

June 30, 2009

Catching up a bit, seems like it has been super busy as of late.
Tomorrow is technically the last day of my raw challenge, although I have been migrating a few small cooked proteins in each day to prepare for transition (and because my stomach finally dictated it).  Not much, today I had about a 1/4 [...]

Day 24 – Raw Diet

June 24, 2009

Quick recap to catch up where I am at.
Still 100% raw.  Still struggling with my digestion, too much bloating and discomfort that is frustrating me.
Yesterday I finally decided I had enough with the swollen stomach pregnancy look, so I pondered for awhile my choices.  One thing I did know for sure, fruit was going to [...]

Day 18 & 19 – Raw Diet

June 20, 2009

Well, this is a quick update to say that YES, I am still 100% raw and sticking to my diet.
Have spent the last few days in a funk, motivation has been low, and mentally my energy feels drained.  Physically my energy is fine.

Day 16 & 17 – Raw Diet

June 18, 2009

Well, either I am going through an emotional detox, or I have hormonal issues or something at this point.  I have spent the last couple of days in a series of funks.  Angry, depressed, lack of confidence, the whole gammit.  Yesterday I was mostly just irritable and angry.  Today I am depressed.  Energy and motivation [...]

Day 15 – Raw Diet

June 16, 2009

I am HALF WAY!!!  Quite exciting, glad I made it this far.
Today was a good day, got in a good exercise time, and energy was decent and stable most of the day.  Still having some gastric issues, nothing serious, but nothing that is improving yet.
I ate another banana today, still ’sorta’ like them, I think [...]

Day 13 & 14 – Raw Diet

June 15, 2009

Still 100% raw, and still moving forward.  It been very hard to not slip on the raw diet the last couple of days.  I was feeling worn out from chopping and eating veggies, on Saturday I really just wanted to not ‘think’ about food for the day.  I did not eat as well, I succumbed [...]

Day 13 & 14 – Level Up

June 15, 2009

The weekend, less posting, more time on my hands.  Will never quite understand that.  I just work better when really busy, much much better.
Spent Saturday relaxing my brain though, the last couple weeks have really pushed me mentally.  Its good, but sometimes I need to take that moment of free time to just not ‘think’ [...]
