Howdy!
I don't know what it is that's different about doing this 100 day challenge, compared to the 30 day ones I've been attempting to complete 100% raw at RFT...I just know it feels very different, & so much EASIER! Logically, that doesn't even make sense, but somehow, it's still true...
...I had wanted, at the beginning of the year, to commit to 1 full year at 100% raw...but that was too big of a bite to chew all at once...30 days just wasn't enough, considering how far I have to go.
I think it just felt like even if I succeeded, I'd barely make a dent in all my health & weight issues.
Something about 100 days is just right for me...it's not a WHOLE YEAR, but it's long enough that, by the end of it, there will definately be significant differences in my health, weight, lifestyle, habits & everything else doing this affects!
It's been amazing so far to share this journey with 1000+ others at RawFu...we're all at various places along the way, but many, like me, are beginners who've been learning about raw for awhile, but have had a hard time consistantly applying what we've learned...& together, we're breaking through, helping each other, learning together, & encouraging one another...that's what I've been praying for, & am so glad to have found!
Today, my pain levels are thru the roof, due to poor (& not enough!) sleep! I kept waking up itching, ITCHING, ITCHING!!!
So I'm just pacing myself, finally got my appetite back (it completely leaves when I'm tired) & am having a smoothie, & I'm about to make a salad....it's 37 degrees here today, & too hot for me to go outside!!! But I will before the sun sets, when it cools off a bit, & get my Vitamin D for the day (20 minutes minimum, 3 x's a week, on as much skin as possible, not just washed (did you know if you've recently washed your natural oils away you don't absorb the vitamin D???)
I'm pressing on, one day at a time...I just want to be free to serve God & others daily without my health problems always interfering...I haven't even made it to church in many weeks...*sigh*...so if 100 days is what it takes to move me through the struggle to the other side, then 100 days is what it's goona be...well, 94 more! & then, we'll see...
...there'll be a short challenge over the holidays, which I may do high raw, (if that ain't workin' for me by then, & I can't keep the cooked to a minumum, then I'll do it 100% raw again...) & then another 100 day one beginning on January 1st...which I plan on committing to doing 100% raw again!
But I know, I know, I gotta take it one 100 days at a time!!!
