How I did it
It made me
feel great! 
How I did it: So, this really isn't as hard as people think, but there is a HUGE secret to getting it done right. YOU CAN'T SLEEP IN ON THE WEEKENDS Most people RUIN their goals by doing this. Your body is set on an internal clock, and it would prefer to keep to a schedule, and if you wake up at six on the weekdays for work or any other reason, but then sleep in until 9 on the weekends, you are screwing up that internal balance an… Read how I did it…

How I did it: Commited to doing it for a week, now it's like second nature.. I don't want to stop because my skin looks so amazing now! Everyday it's like a special treat for my skin I never want to miss :) Read how I did it…
It made me
happy
How I did it: First of all, reading is so much better than watching television. It's not even a fair comparison. I typically would watch an hour or so of television a day- not too much, but it definatelty was not a very satisfying way to spend my time. When I look back at all the programs I have watched over time, I never really took anything away from them. It was basically all for nothing. So, here's what I did- I decided to cut out the t.v. wat… Read how I did it…

My goals after trying RAW
1 month ago
I’m really not thinking this is going to be a long-term thing. Just like I indulge in cupcakes on someone’s birthday, and desert at nice restaurants, I intend to continue to indulge on grains and dairy and cooked foods. However, I do see that my normal diet is not healthy nor ideal for me. I eat mostly grains and dairy, some meat, and few fruits and veggies. I want to totally switch that up to where I am eating mostly fruits and veggies, some grains and dairy, and meat next to never. I figure going RAW for at least a week will help me reintroduce fruits and veggies into my diet. I have tried in the past to say, “I will eat more fruits and veggies.” or, “From now on, I’ll make breakfast or lunch an only fruits and veggies meal.” but it never works. This is a drastic measure in which I am only eating fruits and veggies for an entire week. And, of course, only raw. That way, when the trial period is over, it should be more than easy for me to keep a large amount of fruits and veggies in my everyday diet. I do not see going RAW permanately on these foods being a long-term thing because I am not 100% certain on it’s healthiness. Obviously fruits and veggies are incredibly healthy, but to only eat those things at the exclusion of everything else does concern me. Also, I have a tendency to be underweight with my body type, and have been many times in the past, and it’s not something I want to do again. I am at a good weight right now, and while losing ten pounds would be nice, losing any more than that is not something I find healthy nor attractive- so going totally RAW on fruits and veggies and dropping who knows how much weight is not going to happen. Eating mostly fruits and veggies and indulging on dairy and grains from time to time, while keeping an ideal weight and feeling great about what’s going into my body.. that’s what I’m shooting for. :)
