Fast

Well I have decided to do another juice fast. Spirtually I need another fast. I think I am going for 25. If not 25 at least 20 days. Today is day 3. One thing I have to remember is drink water, water, water. My last fast I had a hard time drinking lots of water. During a fast you can lose your appetite as well as thirst. Keep me in your prayers as I embark on this journey.

Eating out

Well let me tell you about my lunch at a Mexican restaurant. I did not want to go in the first place but my co-worker begged me and said she would pay. So I was thinking I could get a salad. I had my own tahini dressing in my purse.
I asked the waiter if I could just have lettuce with celery, carrots, bell peppers and jalapeños. I see on the menu the different veggies they put in the burrito. So I assumed I could get it on some lettuce. The waiter tells me they could not do this. I hand him back the menu and tell him thank you and headed to the front to talk to the manager. I told him what I wanted and that I do not want anything cooked. I want the veggies raw. He nodded his head on agreement and said you want the veggies fresh? I said yes.
I get back to my seat and a few minutes later they hand me a plate with lettuce, 2 slice tomatoes, sautéed onions and sautéed bell peppers. What the hell?! Who eats a salad with cooked onions and bell peppers. I just did not feel like arguing. I just ate the 2 tomatoes. I was ticked!!! Next time I will make sure they get it right even if it means sending the order back a couple of time.

Workouts

Yesterday during my lunch hour I went to our fitness center and did 20 minutes on the treadmill. I really need an IPOD. Holding my CD player was just not working for me. This morning I could not get my ass out of bed to walk on the treadmill but I did do my legs during my lunch hour. American Council of Exercise is coming to Winston Salem in November. I just knew I would be able to take the test to become certified. I have not even purchased the study kit yet. So I saw that they are coming to Charlotte in Feb. 2007. I think I can do it by then.
I made a pizza this weekend it did not turn out great. I guess practice make perfect. I know exactly what I did. I put Olive oil on the dehydrator sheet. The bottom of the pizza was smushy. I guess that's an old habit from cooking.
Today I had about 3 bananas, a kiwi and salad (x2 lunch and dinner). I also popped a few fudge balls. I LOVE those things.
Well I need to get to bed so I can get up at 5am to climb on the treadmill.

Vitamix! Vitamix! Vitamix!

I finally received my vitamix. I LOVE it. I don't know how I ever lived without one. I made my usual dressing with it and I made Steven a smoothie. The smoothie consisted of a banana, strawberries, blackberries, orange and I snuck in a few spinach leaves. He liked it!! Mikey liked it!! :)
Tomorrow I am making a pizza for my mom. We will eat it Sunday after the crust dehydrates. I talked to a personal trainer today because my ultimate goal is to compete and become a personal trainer myself. I want a body like this.




These beautiful ladies are Cathy Savage girls. I hope to one day attend her camp. The personal trainer was as sweet as a raw pie but she proceed to tell me that I can't eat raw forever and I will have to have meat in order to exercise heavy. She said the best source of protein is meat....sigh..here we go again. I know I can get a body like the Savage girls eating raw. What do you guys think?

24 Days!!!!

Well it has been 24 days since I have been 100% raw.
I have been away from my computer I stayed with my mother while my sister was on vacation for her birthday. Hoochie! Anywho I made angel hair pasta for my mom with the saladacco that I ordered. I also made raw ravaoli(sp) it was really good. I also made fudge balls. My son did not like any of the stuff I made. I don't know what I am going to do with him.
I ordered my vitamix off ebay. Very excited about receiving that.
I weighed my self yesterday and I am at 207.0. I am very excited almost under the 200's Yes!!
I thought I would feel differently. For so long I have wanted to lose this weight and now that I am I am not really excited as I thought I would be. Does anyone have an idea what the hell is wrong with me? Maybe when I hit under 200 I will feel something.

Still searching for a vitamix. Will most likely get from ebay. I just have to make sure there is a manufactred warrenty on it.
