Thought I blog if anybody is wondering about me....

I am still living strong on the raw food lifestyle and made a lot of modifications that is working the best for me. Here are some of my modifications I've made.

No longer snacking between meals, giving my stomach some room to digest 3-4 hours between each meal. Counting my calories and carbs as I eat raw food really helps me to keep my blood sugar normal everyday. Using a very tiny portion size bowl for my nuts and seeds when I eat my meals which helps me curb my munchies. Now eating a bowl of green salad daily with mixtures of fruits or veggies. I no longer use raw honey or agave or nutritional yeast. If I do use raw honey, I measure it by the tablespoon and use it sooooo every once in a great while. Still using spices, pink himilayan salt, coconut oil, and olive oil. Now drinking 50/50 mixed of filtered water and coconut water with each meal. I take neem leaf and bee pollen tablets when I'm done eating my raw food meals.

And re-adjusting my attitude about "eat all you want as long it is raw" to "be smart about portions on raw food to be healthy. I think being greedy about anything no matter what it is, really isn't very cool at all in general.

And using the chi machine is awesome! I love it! Helps with many things for me.

Exercising everyday and taking a day off or two when I need to. Becoming such an early bird in the morning to work out and why...because really it is my favorite time to work out. It's done and out of the way so I don't have to think about it for the rest of the day, plus it really starts my day off in a good direction!

Here's a workout plan that helped me get going and thought I share since it might be useful to anybody who reading this. I do it for a month, then change up my activities so that way I don't get bored. Here it is....hoping anybody likes it. Nice thing about this plan is that it is not set in stone on the days of the week from Mon-Sun if a day or two gets skipped. The routine gets picked up where being left off soooo I like this very much and it works great for me!

WEEK 1-3
DAY 1 -FILL IN ACTIVITY
DAY 2- FILL IN ACTIVITY
DAY 3 - FILL IN ACTIVITY
DAY 4 - FILL IN ACTIVITY
DAY 5 - FILL IN ACTIVITY
DAY 6 - FILL IN ACTIVITY
DAY 7 - REST

DAY 2 - FILL IN ACTIVITY
DAY 3 - FILL IN ACTIVITY
DAY 4 - FILL IN ACTIVITY

It's good I blog about it so I can keep track of what works for me. Stick to what works the best for me is a way to go!

I hope you'll all have a great Spring and awesome Summer!!! I may stop by every now and then to say HELLO and !!

May God Bless You ALL!!
