How I did it
How to talk to a stranger
It took me
1 day
It made me
Realize...

How I did it: I have social anxiety, and I want to challenge and overcome it.I met up with a guy I had only talked to once months ago, which in itself was already daring in my opinion. Then we went into a store and I went up to 6 strangers, and the test was to say random things to them."What are you looking at""What are you shopping for""What are binoculars for""I like your scarf""What did you buy""Does this look like it will fit me?" (During this one,… Read how I did it…

How to go gluten free
It took me
50 days
It made me
Alive

How I did it: I tried to take gluten out of my diet after self-diagnosing myself with a severe form of gluten intolerance, that contributed to a life long depression, "ADD", "bipolar", arthritis, balance issues, anger issues, a lifelong and utterly debilitating fatigue...the list goes on!!I yoyo'd back and forth when I first thought I was gluten intolerant. But, even if you eat it less, say once a week, you will start to feel the change that gluten bri… Read how I did it…

How to quit eating sugar
It took me
30 days
It made me
Energetic

How I did it: I found out that i'm gluten and lactose intolerant, and when I couldn't eat bready things or milk.... There was nothing I could eat that had sugar in it either! It just wasn't an option, to eat a pastry, or icecream, because of my food sensitivities. I bought really raw honey, and when I crave sugar eat it with a banana instead. Read how I did it…

go raw (read all 2 entries…)
Update: day 13

Ok so it’s day 13 today
Sadly I caved on day 11 and ate meat! Yuck! I couldn’t even finish it because in the middle of eating it I found myself saying “What the heck is this brown mush?” My body was so turned off by it. But I’m back up and at it! And I still feel pretty good.

The main difference for me so far has been energy. I have had a few days where I am just full of energy and need to do something. Beware, detox comes and goes and comes again, especially if you cheat. I am hoping the energy returns soon.

Pearl jam came TWICE last summer to where I live! And I missed both! It just reinforces my desire to go, next time around.
