DAY ONE
I wish my desire for going Vegan was more than that for health and vanity reasons. Then, maybe I could stay motivated longer. If I was saving mother earth, cows or whatever non vegans destroys I think my convictions would keep me on track and my goals achieved. Unfortunately, I am not that deep. I am however fat, sluggish, have low self-esteem and suffering from a slew of irritating health issues (none too serious but I am sure the other "big ones" are just around the corner). I also don't trust the food industry and believe that America's growing waist line and increase in health issues can be partially blamed on the food being labeled and served to us.So, here I go. One-step-at-a-time.
The following books have helped me in my decision to go Raw (Oh, yea did I mention I was going RAW VEGAN?):
The next 30 days will be about my emotional journey in RAW. I am using the following workbook to guide my transformation: http://www.scribd.com/doc/17640579/Workbook
DAY 1
1. I am grateful for having time to myself today, Max, Byron, my relationship with my Mom & my blog job (the one that pays).
2. What I wish for today: to be successful in Vegan eating, take before pictures, start blog journal, meal planning, re-read goals, drink lots of water and listen to meditation tapes.
3. Food Log:
*10:30am, slight physical hunger but more of a feeling that "I should eat because it's morning", 1 banana w/ 1 T NB, eaten in kitchen, Not really hungry, satisfied.
*1:30pm, physical hunger, cantaloupe (not sure how much), eaten in kitchen, satisfied
*6:30pm, hunger maybe boredom, muskadime grapes, ate a ton, kitchen, satisfied
*

5. Exercise Log: Taking week off
6. What made me happy today? Spending time for myself
7. What was I grateful for? my family
8. Today's challenges? I always feel a little panicky when I tell myself I am not going to eat certain foods. I have this anxiety feeling and I am not sure how to put it into words. I will explore more on this because I believe it pays a major role in my emotional battle with food.

14b. How can I improve on this tomorrow?
16. Challenges: to not feel deprived, enjoy the journey
18. Things I am looking forward to:
19. Changes I will make:
20. Things that are bothering me - way to fix them?
Other: I was completely exhausted tonight. I listened to my meditation tapes and feel sound asleep in the middle. I am wide awake at 1am. SUCK! I feel the detox has already started--like the body knows. I am very weary of headaches and am praying I do not get a bad migraine. However, I am cold turkey on the caffeine. So, this could hurt!
Tomorrow will be a little more challenging: Cravings will start, detox will intensify. I have to start making smoothies to drink. I just can't seem to find my groove. I hate trial and error. My challenge tomorrow will also be with getting Max fed before football practice and making myself a smoothie to drink during. I hope this will be fulfilling enough to keep me from snacking (or grazing!). I still have lots of muskadimes to keep my busy! I have to figue out how to spell that word.
I am posting this to an obscure date. I realize that this will show-up on my RSS feeds/Followers for this first post, but then I will continue to edit this original post, as not to draw attention. If you want to follow, then bookmark. I will be updating continuously through-out the day.
Pray for me :)
