UPDATE - WEIGH IN - HEALTHY STARTS

WIEGHTLOSS, PROGRESS AND GOOD STARTS

As you may have noticed, I am the worlds most amazing blogger.... minus the amazing bit ! 

 LOL, all jokes aside I want to start being more regular with my blogger posts on this weigh-loss and health journey that I am on.

 For those of you who may just be popping in for the first time, I have decided to go on the path of MOSTLY raw food eating, If you don't know what that is let me explain,
 The Raw food diet is more of a lifestyle change than a diet first of all, basically the moto of the diet is , if it doesn't grow out of the ground, off a tree, or from a bush...don't eat it!
I have officially been at this for about 2 weeks now, and I am already seeing amazing results in my weight and just in the general feel of my body.
I want you all to know it is NOT for the light hearted, it can be emotional and very frustrating.
we like to think we are all in control of our eating habits and we can stop eating the crap whenever we want, but when push comes to shove.. we find our selves back in the old cycle of ,restricting and bindging

I am not going to lie to you, I have slipped up a few times...and for the most part I have logged it on my youtube channel..which you can find here:

HEALTH CHANNEL

I originally was going to do daily vlogs, but this proved to be a bit much at the moment, but I will be aiming for  a few times per week.

Alright then, with that out of the way... I will get on with telling you how much I have lost to date. NOW just so you know I have decided to only weigh in every Sunday morning..as to not discourage my self.
BUT in the first 7 days of eating very clean and even doing some  juicing I lost 7 pounds!!! WHAAATTTTTTTT!!!
that to me is just CRAZY...but not only was I trying to loose some pounds...I long term want to see if I can get rid of some annoying aches and pains I have had so far
the swelling in my legs has come down quite a bit..and my stomach doesn't protrude out like a 7 month pregnant lady, and  reset my eating habits.. I have already starting craving the good stuff over the bad.
I have found the trick to this is keeping the bad stuff out of the house as well, and make sure you have food on hand! I find that any time I have slipped up, it is when I wait to long before meals and dont have a lot of food options in the house. KEEP WELL STOCKED.

I feel SKINNY when I wake up lol, and I even started to some work outs..which I will be filming this upcoming week, so go over and check that out for sure, it should be a whoot.

I hope to update you on some recipes  and give you guys some tips and tricks that I have been learning along my journey.
HERE IS TO A GOOD START TO A NEW YEAR!

I hope you join me... see you soon.

UPDATE AND NEW START DATE!

Hey everyone, 

 I am sure you have noticed that today is the 2nd of January NOT the 1st like I said I would be posting video health vlog on. I will be starting my recording tomorrow January the 3rd...because as it turned out everything was closed on new years day, ( who would have thought lol)  making it very hard to stock up on groceries~ 

 Needless to say I quickly failed sometime around 1pm, after attempting to eat carrots blended with water as a way to keep my hunger at bay!   ( BAD IDEA)  lol, 

        Today I decided to buy an omega juicer, since my old one is unable to juice leafy greens..which is what I am mostly looking for in a juicer.    

 So with that being said, my NEW start date will be tomorrow, January 3rd 2015!   I would love some suport and encouragement as I am sure many of you reading this would as well! It would be great to maybe start a little challenge group even?  If you are interested in joining a challenge with me or have any ideas to put forth! comment below or feel free to message me with your interest! It would make transitioning into a healthy life style much easier knowing that others are suffering the withdrawals along side us, don't you think ?? . lol  

I can't wait to get started, and start using all of my new kitchen appliances, all I am missing now is my long awaited ' EXCALIBUR DEHYDRATOR',  I think I will get on that one asap!

 Now don't get me wrong, I have done 'RAW' food eating in the past, with none of these kitchen enhancements and it is possible, however if you were to invest in ANYTHING, it should be a decent blender!  A great starter blender in my opinion for those of you who like to be or simply have to be frugal,  would be the HEALTH MASTER BLENDER ,  It will do the trick for every blending need, it is high powered and this is what I have been using for years leading up to the purchase of my vita-mix.  blender!  and the Health master will also allow payment plans.

for anyone interested in seeing the video of the Vitamix I purchased I will link it here:

SEE YOU GUYS TOMORROW...... FOR REAL! LMAO.
