Starting Over

I had another cheat day yesterday.
I don't know what came over me, but I just could not stop eating crap.
I feel like shit today.
I have had to re think my 100 day trial.
I am going to start over today.
My goal now is to go 2 weeks on the low fat raw vegan diet and see how I feel.
After 2 weeks I will decide if I want to continue another 2 weeks.
I have attached a photo I took yesterday before I pigged out.
Hopefully having those pics posted will give me the incentive to stay on track.

100 Days

I have been inspired by tv.  People say tv is useless, but I have to disagree.
I saw a comercial for the TNT Network and it inspired me...
The comercial os for their 100 days of drama... now don't think I want 100 days of drama.
In the comercial they say you can do alot in 100 days...that's what inspired me.

I am commiting to 100 days of a low fat raw vegan diet to improve my health and to be honest my appearance.  I have been really bad lately, eating lots of junk.  I feel like crap and I am getting fat!  I am currently the heaviest I have been in over 15 years.  I was 240 at my heaviest..I am 190 now... not super heavy but way heavier than I like to be.

I have gone back and forth with this way of eating for about 2 years.  I go for a few days then fall off.  I have used all kinds of excuses... 
For the next 100 days there will be no excuses, no trying, ... just doing!

I guess we will see how it changes my life... if it does.

I will be posting pics soon... I'm too embarassed to post my before pics right now!

Blizzards of 2010

I am sitting here in my living room watching the snow..again.
We already have about 3 feet of snow on the ground and are expecting about 1 foot more tonight.
I don't know that I have ever seen this much snow at one time....even when I lived in Denver!

I decided that since I am probably not going back to work until at Tuesday I should try a few days of the 80 10 10 raw food diet.
For those of you who unfamiliar, the 80-10-10 diet ( also known as 811) is a raw vegan diet comprised of 80% sweet fruit, 10% protein and 10% fat.
Proteins come mainly from greens, fat from the fruit and greens and from a limited amount of raw nuts and seeds.
The program was devised by Dr Douglas Graham.
You can find more information on his website http://foodnsport.com/

I think as a long term way of eating it is not for me, but in the short term I would like to try it and see what happens.
I like the idea of a very simple diet, but I am a foodie so it won't last.
I am not going anywhere for a few days so I will turn up the heater, turn on the sun lamps and pretend I am on vacation in the Caribbean.
Tonight at the grocery store I got quite a few looks as I stocked up.
Everyone else was going crazy buying bread, milk and lots of toilet paper ( don't get me started on the toilet paper thing!)... I was stocking up on watermelons, cantelope, and bananas.
We will see how it goes.
I have included a few pics from my walk home ..
enjoy!
