Hello!
I am still at it! I didn't get a chance to post anything yesterday but I have persevered. I did part of the T-Tapp level two yesterday. I didn't make it all the way through but did at least 15 minutes. Those T-Tapp DVD's are really tough. Wow! My legs are very sore, but it is a good sore you know? It feels good to be doing something again!
The fast is going very well. I have been very faithful to it. Even when my husband brought home ice cream! Augh! I just made up some delicious freshly juiced orange juice and I was fine. Last night I had some grape/apple juice. It was really good. When I took the grapes out to start juicing them they looked so good, they were nice and firm (I am a grape snob!) that I almost popped one in my mouth! Good thing I caught myself in time. The juice was very good. Usually during the day I am drinking carrot/apple, and then at night I will make a "dessert" juice as a treat for staying on the fast all day.
I am feeling more like I can succeed this time. It might be the weather. It is finally starting to warm up here and I can actually see grass in our front yard. Winters are so tough. I really do enjoy eating raw though. I feel so alive and vibrant. Even when I indulge in a delicious raw dessert I don't get that full, heavy feeling. I just feel fresh and clean. It is very hard to explain.
So today my goal is to do the breathing exercises again. Yesterday just slipped away and I never got a chance to do those. Part of the problem yesterday was that little baby girl never slept for more than 5 minutes at a time yesterday. I also hope to do the T-Tapp basic workout plus. Now I'm off to make some carrot juice!

Ouch!
Oh, my arms are so sore and tired right now that I am having a hard time typing. This will be a short post. I need to go lay down!
So yesterday went well with the fast. I also managed to do the T-Tapp basic workout plus hoedowns. I didn't get a chance to do the aerobic breathing. Hubby went shopping and got me some more carrots to juice and also some grapes and apples and oranges and pineapple. So I should be set on that for a few days.
Earlier today I made several batches of carrot/apple juice and put it in the fridge so it will be handy later when I need it. I did the aerobic breathing this morning. It is very hard to concentrate on it with the children around because they like to do it too which is so funny! I can not do it with my husband around though, it is just too ridiculous! Then, just now, I did the T-Tapp beginner/rehab tape which is so hard. I got through the arms and hoedowns and that was all she wrote. I'm pooped! The children all wanted to do it with me and that was pretty humorous as well. They actually kept asking me when we were going to do it! It is good for them to have some outlet for all their energy since it is still too muddy for them to go play outside.
Ok, that's it. I need to go lay down. My arms are so sore. Doing well on my fast and exercise goals. I'll post more later.

IBM has a good idea
Hello all!
I have been inspired of late by IBM's new motto. Stop Talking, Start Doing. Good idea. Their commercials are hilarious by the way. It got me thinking though. I have been talking, not always aloud but definately internally, a lot about how I want to be an all raw vegan, with no slip ups. I want to get back to how I was three yars ago when I was all raw for five months. I want to get in shape and exercise because I want to go hiking and run in a marathon. I keep talking, but I haven't started doing. I keep derailing myself and making excuses. Well no more excuses. It is time for me to stop talking and start doing!
I was on and off raw all last week. My husband was away on business and I used that as an excuse to eat bad. Yesterday I succeeded in staying all raw by clinging to my new motto. Today begins day one of a juice fast. I am not sure how long I will be fasting for. At least a week. I need to seriously detox and break this addiction to sugar and flour that I have. I am also trying to remember what I did last time that made me so successful. I need to research again and remember all the reasons for eating raw focusing promarily on health and not weight loss.
It has been hinted to me that perhaps I am a bit extreme. Well, maybe I am. But this is the only thing that works for me and I have to do what works. It is time for me to be the good example to my children by making healthy choices. In times of weakness instead of grabbing food, I need to grab onto the only One who can really help me and get into my Bible and pray for quidance and help.
So anyways that is where I am at. I plan on posting daily here about what I eat (or drink while fasting) and exercises done. I have T-Tapp DVD's that need to get dusted off and used again! Also I will be incorporating Greer Childers breathing exercises as well. So here goes! I am off to T-Tapp! I'll post more later.
