Raw Food

How many have you have subscribed to the Raw Food Diet lifestyle?  I have on and off.  At times, very consistently and others not so much.  However, I do love the way I feel when I am eating this way and love the way my skin and hair looks.  Although I have been exercising daily and limiting my calories, something inside of me tells me this just is not the way to go. 

A while back I bought Any Phyo's 15 day Fat Blast.  If you are not familiar with Ani Phyo, I suggest you pick up one of her books.  She is a phenomenal raw food chef.  http://www.amazon.com/Anis-15-Day-Fat-Blast-Kick-Ass/dp/0738215228

I have decided that I prefer real food....whole food.  So I am going to take baby steps to get back to eating raw. 

I think I may also start a 30 day challenge at my Bikram Yoga Studio.....http://bikramyogairvine.com/
 I'll keep you posted on how that goes too. 

Now......I'm off to do some Pilates :-)

Have a great weekend!

A Work in Progress

Well I officially  have two days under my belt.  I'm learning a lot about myself and my strengths and my pitfalls.  And I am coming to terms with the fact that even if I have all the knowledge to know how to do things right ~ at the end of the day I'm still human.

Today  - Cardio 30 mins on elliptical.  Weights - upper body only
Food -
B-Zone Bar 
S - 1/2 banana and 3 hard boiled egg whites
L- Large green salad with grilled chicken and Balsalmic dressing
S- Shaklee Cinch bar
D - I found a great website with amazing recipes and tonight I made the garlic/lime shrimp with brown rice.

I only hit 900 calories (which I don't recommend)  I may have an apple before I go to bed.

What I learned.....I really need to drink more water.  I need to get in a lot more greens and fruit. 

Hope you all are doing great <3
