Day 12 – Raw Diet

June 13, 2009

I am officially ready to find that part of my brain that is responsible for cravings, and banish it for the next two weeks.  Seriously, enough already!
Today was a rough one.  It was all I could do to not run to the cafeteria and buy a bag of potato chips, or bar of dark chocolate.  [...]

Day 12 – Level Up

June 13, 2009

Well, its official.  I have Fridiatous, a very bad case of it I believe.  Its Friday, I am ready to be ‘off work’ so to speak.  My day was hit or miss at work, and by the time I got home I had clocked out apparently.  Completely forgot about working out, housework…what is that?
Oh well, [...]

Day 11 – Raw Diet

June 12, 2009

Today was a decent day in my raw food challenge.
My physical energy definitely is increasing each day, but is still not consistent.  For example, I had about two hours of super energy this morning, but then it faded to a low point later on, repeat.  I would say sometimes it is associated with hunger, but [...]

Day 10 – Raw Diet

June 11, 2009

Today was probably my best day so far.  My physical and mental states all seemed much more balanced.  Gastric wise, still doing better (not 100%, but acceptable for this stage), and my energy is great.  I probably had the most energy on a more consistent basis as any day so far.  I came home super [...]

Day 9 – Level Up

June 10, 2009

I just had a realization, as I type in the title to this post.  My original intention of this complex challenge was to take myself to the next level, which in the mix of the raw diet and the normal busy life, I have failed to remember.  My lack of ability to consistently complete my [...]

Day 9 – Raw Diet

June 10, 2009

Okay, so today was my first day where I was fairly comfortable.  Energy was good, gastric issues were mostly all resolved, and my meals were simple.  I continued to eat my greens in the form of smoothies and juices, and I ate some fruits as snacks throughout the day.  I think I will continue my [...]

Day 7 & 8 – Level Up

June 9, 2009

Well, I missed my post yesterday for my challenge.  My raw diet would not say has been terrible on me, but it has had some ups and downs.  I believe I am on the upswing now, but just feeling a little drained.  Sometimes I can plan and prepare and research all I want, but nothing [...]

Day 7 & 8 – Raw Diet

June 9, 2009

So the raw diet has been a more daunting challenge then I had anticipated.  The attack has come from several sides.  Both from the mental battles and cravings angle, to the physical struggles with my gastric system.  I am not ready to give up, I have not tried everything yet by any means, but it [...]
