Living Rawesome The First Day of The Raw Muscle Challenge
I am not going to the gym today. I started my workout on Monday, but last week I exercised almost everyday, so today is my day off. I am in need of a break, so I am sitting here listening to what sounds like rain. What a blessed day! I have been preparing food today for a friend and for myself. I made barbeque chips and sauce for the rolls from the Purely Delicious Magazine this month. They look so inviting:). Soon I will be on the way to get some veggies for my Pad Thai and the rest of the wraps. This is officially the first day of The Raw Muscle Challenge, so I will be recording my food and my workouts. I am embarrassed to show my measurements, but maybe I will show the beginning measurements soon, I have to build up my confidence for that. I feel I haven’t fully committed myself to this challenge, but with the 2 days of practice I had, thinking that it started, I did a lot of thinking about how I am always waiting for the next day to not eat too much. I need to set up parameters and stick with them. I am always bending the rules somehow when it comes to my food intake. I am well aware of the issues of overeating. With this challenge I know I will become stronger! It will be a fantastic journey the next 30 days. And hopefully for the following 30 days after that:) Time will tell….. “The two most powerful warriors are patience and time.”~Leo Tolstoy

Sprouted Buckwheat cereal with apple, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds
