threw out my cooked foods 18 y
100% simple raw 4 life??? YES
I measured my waist today. It is 31 inches and my thighs are 23. I weighed myself for good measure and I’m 155. Tomorrow I return to Raw Food Boot Camp with a firm committment to myself to lose the rest of my fat. Right now I’ve made it my goal to achieve the fitness I had when I was in Air Force bootcamp and be at the weight I was... 145 pounds and 29 inch waist.
Well anyway, I threw out my cereal and condensed milk. I made myself a pot of oolong tea which incidentally gives me a lot of energy. I didn’t know it was good for slimming. Anyway, I had four peaches for my afternoon meal. I ... read more Wanna Fanta? No way. Not with these ingredients... 18 y
a mini rant about soda ingredients
Am I alone in feeling that the fanta commercials are the most annoying commercials these days??? BTW, what’s up with the spanish fanta having orange juice and the American version not having orange juice!
Spanish Fanta Orange formulation: [3]
* Carbonated water, sugar, 8% orange juice from concentrate, acidity regulator E-330 (citric acid), aromas, preserver E-211 (sodium benzoate), stabilizers E-414 (gum arabic), E-412 (guar gum) and E-445, antioxidant E-300 (ascorbic acid) and food colouring E-160a.

feeling better today
My FIL handed me the biggest cucumbers I’ve ever seen. Monsters. I have six cucumbers to eat and juice tomorrow. I wonder if it’s possible to overeat cucumbers *LOL* This evening is better. I’m about go for a walk with my husband then when I come back, it’s leg workout time. No delay tactics. I may do yoga instead. I’ll see how I feel. I love bikram yoga and I really do want to be a yogini in the truest sense. Perhaps I will do a whole series of bikram tonight on my porch. Maybe it will bring a blessing to the house since it seems as if no one cares about praying the rosary, yoga, whatever :( visit the page Discouragement Hits 18 y
what a difference a day makes
The kitchen is done. I mopped the floor yesterday. Felt satisfied and proud of myself. I turn around and realise there’s more work to be done. More work to be done and today I have no motivation to do anything. I was telling my husband that I have no motivation to do anything today and that I don’t like to be inside. Tomorrow I’m giving up coffee for a day, I can make it through one day. I wish I had something amazing to say about working out or rawfood but I’m just bumming today and nothing is helping me. visit the page Saturday morning smorgasboard 18 y
workout, food and sex.... yeah baby!
I woke up earlier than expected and so did my husband. One of the best parts of being married is hanging out in bed on a rainy Saturday, talking then doing a little HMMM HMMM B) As opposed to staring up at the ceiling wishing desperately I didn’t have to work or some sort of thing like that. Anyway, my upperbody is aching so today is running day (even in the rain!) and working on my abs. I’ve not been as focused on my abs as I should be.
Yesterday I had the best salad ever using chickory from my backyard with tomatoes.
My workout:

long day!
I had some quinoa for lunch as a pre-workout power food. I would love to say that I like quinoa raw,sprouted but eh... I just boiled some and I wonder what it’s like steamed. There are certain things I don’t like raw and I think quinoa and chickpeas are some of those. Anyway, I feel great, not tired and the quinoa with a little olive oil, milled pepper and some grated parmesan tastes like pasta. Lots of fiber, protein,etc. I would want to substitute some vegan parmasean for the dairy product.
I’m exhausted after this full day today. I worked my chest, triceps and shoulders then I accomp ... read more Day Two-Decluttering of My Living Space 18 y
my to-do list
CHAOS- can’t have anyone over syndrome- What does this have to do with rawfood and fitness? Everything. I can’t function in a dirty/cluttered space. I’m starting to read The Hidden Art of Homemaking by Edith Schaeffer. I’m also following the Sunfood Success book and this is my way of manifesting my dreams. Doing what I love to do.
1. decluttering the futon cushion/tv area
Food-
1. tomato and cucumber salads and whatever else my FIL brings in from his garden. I’m not particularly hungry today.
Body-

my two week challenge
I am going on a personal two week challenge. I ate a lot of SAD food, well not a lot, but I had some cheese, two cups of coffee a day,protein bars, and today I had a piece of stuffed cabbage with a little MEAT in it. I realise that I’m suffering from a low grade depression. Depression over not being able to deal with the personalities and challenges of my new in law family. Depression over not being pregnant because I thought I was and in fact I was half a day late. Plus I just felt ravenous and wondering where this need to stuff myself was coming from.
Anyway, I’m tired of drinking cof ... read more Dr. Bob the Ageless Wonder 18 y
amazing website and end of day wrapup
http://www.bobdelmonteque.com/book.htm
I walked to church. After that, I went for my run/walk. Except my legs started feeling like lead half way through and walked the rest of the way. I did four miles. I think the reason for my slowdown was not enough food. Enjoy the website. He’s amazing! Reading his site made me feel good about walking and lifting weights. I had an apple and a banana and a cup of hot decaf. No sign of a period yet but I’m not crampy or anything. visit the page Saturday smorgasboard 18 y
menses madness all around
I ate four small vanilla wafers and I feel like barfing. I need to sprout my lentils again. I’m thinking of dehydrating some apple and banana slices so I have good things to eat instead of Walmart nilla wafers. Yuck. I had a cheese sandwich which wasn’t constructed of the best kind of bread but was better than nilla wafers. Right around my period, I grab stuff and eat it. No more of that. I notice that this time around I didn’t spot and I didn’t get any advanced cramping. I got a tiny bit of breast lumpiness (from caffeinated coffee probably) and a brief period of tiredness. Today I feel b ... read more daily journal 18 y

I’m taking a two week LOA because I’m in a world of confusion and as I expressed to ... I have the least amount of weight to lose and I don’t want to ruin it for anyone else. I’m going through a tremendous period of questioning about my weight and whether I want to be raw so I’m taking off to give it serious thought. I’m sticking to my goal of being in a bodybuilding show ( had a great workout today). I want to get over my anxiety of the scale, a requirement for bootcamp! and food obsession.

Today’s workout:
I didn’t feel like running today. I went walking with my husband and took some weights with me. When I got back, my mind was dead set against running to the horsefarm and back. So... I decided to do a muscle workout.
Chest presses with a cinderblock 40 reps
Chest presses with basketball 20 reps
Walking with the concrete buckets 25 feets 12-ft rest then 12-ft back around while my husband watched, smiled and said.. ”Awwww my baby is special”. I march to the beat of my own drum biggrin.gif

My sister gave me these ezekiel food for life ’sprouted’ wrap tortillas. I was inspired to make my own ezekiel bread that is NOT heated in an oven but dried with all enzymes intact. I would also avoid build uo of acrylamides and other poisons. I like the idea of making a life food bread. I’m now further down the road to a life full of health and vitality.
Next on the table is getting rid of coffee. The longest I’ve ever gone without coffee was two weeks. When I returned from my honeymoon, I ate 100% raw for four-five days. I seem to be able to go raw for two weeks at a time then I have ... read more food/exercise log 18 y
today's food and exercise log
Today I ran/walked for 4.5 miles. I thought the route I took before was four but no. It was actually three miles.
I took a cinderblock and did two sets of deadlifts and two sets of my own version of a powerclean with the cinderblock. A cinderblock weights about twenty five to thirty pounds. I worked out while my husband talked and made notes for his upcoming book ’Wounds Our Hearts’. It’s wonderful that we have the kind of marriage where we support eachother’s life dreams/goals. Anyway, after the back, I did two sets of bicep curls and two sets of hammer curls with a 15# dumbbell. The f ... read more green smoothies and my hardcore gym 18 y
fitness on a shoestring budget
I found my blender and now I’m committed to having one green smoothie per day, about one quart. I am committed to losing weight the healthy way and not dropping weight so fast, I look like a skeleton OR worse, my skin hangs down and I look like a hag.
Anyway, I have a pic of Monica Brant up in my medicine closet. Look at that link. That’s not the pic but that’s the idea, minus the boob shelf. I rather have small boobs than fake ones. Oh well such is the life of a pro fitness female.
