Adding LIFE to your years and years to your life!

Day one ...PM

Well it was a good day one. Not bad at all. I feel alright. Aside from a mild headache I am alright. I feel pretty motivated at this point that I can do this and I only pray that it sticks . it will stick.

Today looked like this...

Breakfast : Chocolate Vega with 1 cup of frozen strawberries made into a smoothie. I also had a berry green tea to help with the caffiene withdrawal that I was going through.

Lunch : ALOT of Green Beans from the garden in a salad

Dinner : A vegan soup with beet greens, carrots, onions, beans, potatoes , White kidney beans. It was so yummy. Though not raw, it was most definitly healthy and soul fullfilling.

Snack : If I get hungry tonight , I have my eyes on a ripe cantelope and some blueberries.

I am waiting for the baby to fall asleep then I am going to head out for a walk...and some weeding in the garden untill it gets dark.

I am pretty proud of myself. I know its only one day, but it was one day. I made a descion and I am living it. When I felt like caving in which I did actully at about lunch time, I talked myself down and went online to watch videos as to why I am doing this. Re read the list of crap going on with my body and asked myself is it worth it.

I found that I am reallllly thirsty today. I realize its summer and its hot, but it was summer and it was even hotter yesterday and I wasnt craving water like I was today. It was nice, because I like water.lol

So ya , for day one, I really couldnt have asked for anything better...other then maybe not eating cooked food for dinner, but I dont want to take it all on at once. Two out of three isnt bad. This week I am really focusing on having the Smoothie in the morning, and the raw lunch. Once I get that totally in place, in comes dinner. Though I can say that dinner will NOT include processed foods , meat or cheese.

I feel really good about being here, and the support here is amazing. i love opening my email and to find that people are rooting me on and know whats happening with me. That is like nothing I can even explain. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have no idea how much I want and need this.

Quitting caffeine always gives me a wicked headache the first few days.

so happy that you are setting realistic goals... ie, getting some foundational stuff in there... like switching up from whatever you were having before for breakfast and lunch and dinner..

can you dig it... jeepers, sound like Dan the life re-generator....

one meal at a time,

great too, your sensitivity to "caving" and turning to internet for inspiration...

lots of great stuff for sure on you tube.., etc

and the "is it worth it" after checking what you recorded for yourself and the world on "opening day" re your beloved body.... wow

keep on trucking Sarah...

even if something happens... and it will,

it does... don't set perfection as the destination..

set the dial at "process", being adaptable, flexible, non-judgmental, forgiving...and your own

joyful cheerleader to yourself, at miniscule changes that add up to humungous stuff..

dreamy thinking of you in your garden!

best to you, yours and all sentient beings

Comment by Supermom on July 18, 2012 at 9:23pm: Congratulations on an amazing day! I like to remember that I "can" eat anything I want to, but I "want" to eat foods that serve me better. I am so happy that taste buds change and adjust to these healthier foods!

"Lean Into It", as Kathy Freston says, and you are less likely to feel rebellion from your sub-conscous mind.
