100 Day Raw Food Challenge
New beginnings
My goal for the next 10 days is to exercise 5 days a week and to not bow to pressures from friends and family to eat SAD food. Safe food = tangerines.
Getting up and moving is essential. One of the main reasons this former runner gained 125 lbs in the first place was a stressful job with long hours often in excess of 70/wk, stuck in front of a computer, coupled with a SAD diet. According to the gvt's health charts, I still need to lose 100 lbs to get back to a normal, healthy weight, but since I'm carrying so much extra muscle from 7 years of carrying all these extra lbs, I'll be thrilled if I can lose another 50 to 75 over the next year. Health is my only true goal now.
First day of the challenge has already been challenging. Went to a celebration of a friend's birthday. Called the restaurant in advance to ensure I could get a raw salad. Long story short, the salad was not all raw! No one could believe all I wanted was a small salad without meat or cheese on it, and they kept insisting I needed more food, wine and dessert. But I held fast and have nothing to regret. :-)

Good for you!!!! Don't let anyone derail you, you are worth it! Someday when we are thin and SO HEALTHY they will wish they had joined you in eating healthy on August 1, 2008.
I am going to be in Georgetown on Aug 11, so I am going to be able to go to the meetup. I hope you can make it~
Hugs, Donna
