Doing okay

I have been eating okay this week. I only exercised once. I am planning on getting a elliptical(sp?) machine so I can do cardio first thing in the morning.
I received a email from Schall (http://www.thehealingmeal.com/) it made me feel better. She said you do not need to be 100% raw to achieve the benefits. I need to hear that right now as I am at the moment struggling staying raw. I am not going to beat myself over it. I am so glad that I found the raw lifestyle.
I have been eating 5-6 small meals a day. Lately it's been:
M1- 1/2 cup Oatmeal, egg whites or protein shake.
M2- 1 apple with 1/2 cup of low fat cottage cheese
M3- Chicken breast, 1 cup of veggies and 1/2 cup of brown rice
M4- Protein shake and apple
M5- Salad
M6- Protein shake

I know I can achieve the results I want with an all raw diet but it will take me longer. I am to inpatient. I believe one day I will return to at least 75-80% raw. Right now I want to lose weight, leanout and build my body.
Since I will be exercising 6 days a week. I have decided to try some supplements. My friend Brenda is giving me samples of some products she distributes. Preburn a pre-work out powder and Afterburn. When I get these I will let you know how they do. I am on a mission. I need to achieve this body by August 2008.

Body For Life

I am starting my first Body for Life challenge tomorrow. I will do two 12 week challenges. Since my son last day of school is this friday I am going to start going to the gym in the evenings. That way I will not have to worry about him doing homework and being in bed at a decent hour. The gym childcare is open until 8pm. So I will most likely go from 7-8 after Steven's Tae Kwon Do classes.

I will be taking my before photos tonight or tommorrow night. I will take photos every two weeks to document my success. As I might have mentioned before I did give my mom my scale. I am going to go by inches and how my clothes feel. I do have an idea of how much I weight. After my first challenge I will weigh myself. I do know I have gained back weight after my Master Cleasne. I just refuse to get back on the scale. If I do it will put me into a deep depression.

I am excited to see how my body will transform.
