I tell ya....... I guess I'm just not one of those super-motivated people because I'm eating junk again. But, we bought a used Bowflex today and have it set up in the living room, right in plain sight. One, its the best fit for it right now and two, I want to see it so I use it. Worked out a little tonight trying out the different exercises. Actually broke one of the rods, too. Dang!
Anyhow, raw is going to be in my life again. Seriously thinking about a year-long commitment this time. Why? Well, I know I can do 30 days or 90 days because I did 90 days before. But after that, I slipped and haven't gotten back on for more than a couple weeks. Too easy to talk myself out of it when my buddies at work want to go to lunch.
So, if I just tell everyone (if it comes up) that I'm eating this way for a year, perhaps they'll take it more seriously. Perhaps I'LL take it more seriously because it all comes down to me anyhow.
When I first went raw, I gave up diet soda at the same time. I was drinking at least a 6-pack a day and haven't had it since (well, a couple sips a couple times, but it was nasty!!!) That habit is dead and buried. Don't crave it at all! If I can break that habit and sustain it for 2 years now, I can break the sad food habit, too.
I'm still debating a couple issues -- if I go to lunch with friends, do I only order out if I can get a salad? It'll kinda have sad stuff on it unless I get all picky. But I don't mind taking fruit with me to eat with them and they put up with my quirkyness, so that's probably the safer (and cheaper) route to go. And, no, I don't "have" to go with them to lunch, but they're my buds!! Doing things together is what we do.
Or, I'll just work on them to start bringing lunches instead of eating out, which is what they want to do anyhow -- but they just don't do it either. One of us has to be strong and lead us to health, so it might as well be me, eh?
And with that, good-night! :)
