What i need most, & struggle with the most, is consistancy~
When i STAY raw, i feel my health improving almost by the hour...when i fluctuate, it seems to slow it down to a crawl...it's almost as if my body is telling me that i will not experience the restoration i need until i get & STAY consistantly 100% raw for a longer period of time than i have been ...a few days, a week, a bit more, but not the months i know it'll take to get to the place of breakthough...
...& I'm also realizing that my tummy troubles (IBS, etc) react much sooner to NOT healthy food now, the more healthy food i eat! (I actually had someone tell me once that that's why they don't eat healthy...cuz then they can't handle the other stuff they weren't willing to totally stop eating! Lol!)
So once again, I'm re-committing, ready to re-focus on getting & staying consistant (*sigh*) again...that's something so hard for me to do, having never been overly focussed or disciplined in my life...but i know it's what i need, i know it will change many things, not just my health, & so it's back up to the top of my list of priorities...
...I haven't found my blender yet.(Or the scale!) I miss smoothies soooo much! I'm determined to find it today! & though the stepper & treadmill are both gone, this is the day i begin exercising again, not just stretching...there's finally room in the livingroom for LIVING!
We're waiting for the londlord to come by & fix the phone jack in the living room ,so i can set up my computer in there, so i can set up the port for downloading photo's, then I'll try to post my 'Before" pics, finally! & maybe even my first video! { I've been having 'puter problems, but am hoping to rectify the situation this weekend.}
I'm about as recovered from the move as I'm going to be, I'm realizing, & now it's time to get back to work...my full-time job is to get healthy, & get mobile! (After my other full-time job of raising & homeschooling Hannah, of course!)

I can definitely relate to the struggle to remain consistent. I'll start eating right and start feeling better for a while. I'll think to myself, "This is great. This is the way it should be." Then, next thing you know I'm right back eating the wrong stuff. I'll say to myself, "OK, self, you've been good. Go ahead and have a little (fill in whatever you like that's unhealthy). You deserve it." NO! What we deserve is to be healthy and happy. We can do it!
Good point! i had a friend tell me one day, "Stop calling that JUNK, garbage food a TREAT! it's no TREAT for your BODY!!!" Yea.
i can feel my health, right around the corner, calling to me, beconing me on, whispering things about the future that i have no way to experience unlessi get consistant, not just with raw, but daily pushing myself to move more...
...it's hard, but i know it's time, & it's gotta be done!
Thanks for stopping by, I'm off to check out your blog now!

You can do it! Just take one meal at a time and focus on just that one meal. Once you get through a week or so, it will get so much easier.
Can't wait to see all your pics and video.

I’m glad you’re feeling recovered from you move. They say that moving is right up there with death and divorce on the stress level scale.

Thanks for your comments, greenmama & Valerie~
One meal at a time is definately what I have to stay focussed on right now, i can't wait for the first week or so to be done (again)
so i get past the cravings again, & break the bad habits that have been creeping back in...
.& Valerie, for all the times I've moved, I'm almost a professional! You'ld think by now I'd do all the things i know to do to make it less stressful! But still, even with preparing in advance, pacing myself, etc., it totally throws me for a loop, this time worse than most moves! I hope I don't have to move again for a long, long time! I forgot about that scale, I remember reading that, too~You'ld think the other 2 would be way worse, but i believe it is right up there...
...pics & vids'll be here soon, i think we'll have the phone jack fixed this week!
