Raw Ramadan

Tomorrow it's real. I'll start my Raw Ramadan. Which means that I'll fast from sun up to sun down, which is quite a long time this time of year. One month of no food, no drink during those hours. I'm planning to eat mainly raw food. Some ingredients that I use aren't raw, so I'll be probably 95% till 100% raw vegan:) I'll make a food plan for every day, and cross off what I'm eating. I used to write down what I would eat, but planning ahead and crossing it off works better for me now.

I'm into raw foods for over 15 months now, and lost a lot of weight, but I haven't been consistent. So I'm taking this opportunity (ramadan) to reprioritize and cleanse. I've eaten a lot of raw foods during my 6 week summer vacation in the Netherlands & Turkey, but I also included too much cooked and not so healthy foods. I enjoyed every bite, but after indulging quite a lot, you do get sick of it, and want to go back to more raw goodness. I kept exercising almost daily, and even ran my 1st half marathon, and also ran a 25K. So, I'm still on the right track:) Wish me luck;)

Comment by darlene knight on August 13, 2010 at 8:49pm: I hear ya and wish you the best! I have always exercised but my issue always ended up being the food! Whenever I fall down....I get very sick and congested the next day and you would think that would be incentive enough but somehow, I always have to dope slap myself into reality....Thank the Lord that I continue to exercise consistently and now I am juicing/doing smoothies and feeling great. My goal is to continue to belt out 10K's at least 5 days week and keep biking as many miles as I can fit in my workout for any given day depending on my schedule.....as long as I feel energetic enough to do it!!!! Today was amazing and I hope this feeling continues! If you ever need support or a shoulder, feel free to holler at me! Good luck!
