just a quick update i weighed yesterday (july 1) and i weigh 241. this means i lost 10 pounds this month. yea me! yea raw foods! i was not perfect all month, spent two weekends out of town and last weekend was difficult because i was not well prepared. i did not have a cooler and my food kept spoiling in the 108 degree texas heat. so i ate alot of chinese steamed broccoli and green beans. i did work outside almost everyday in june trimming trees and cleaning the yard, the heat has gotten so bad… Continue

ok, i did not get up and weigh like i had planned. instead i went outside while it was still cool enough to breathe and worked. i loaded about 50 heavy cement blocks and topped that off with a little more than 200 bricks. loaded and then unloaded and stacked them at the little house. then i went to two grocery stores. the reason i say this is that my pedometer shows i only walked 2171 steps! this is not possible! last weekend i walked every asile in Sam's club then did the whole zoo and it showe… Continue

food: yeah me! ok i have had a few bites of cooked food, but only a few bites in four days. it has been pretty easy so far. i will admit i walked into a health food store today and saw brownies and wanted to sit in the floor and eat them all! instead i did my shopping and had lots of spinach instead! it was soooo good! and i don't hate myself tonight.

weight: so day one i weighed 251 lbs. today i weigh 248. i know it is water but seeing the scale go in that direction for a change and knowing i… Continue
