Barb got me started again on "RAW" diet. I started at 291 lbs. Within the first couple of days I started dropping pounds quick. Had Red Mesa Fajita chicken salad 17th & Talapia and salad there 21st. Friday night I had a little cottage cheese.

3. salad or grilled chicken only when we eat out
4. add a minute of jogging each workout on the treadmill

Day in review:
Good day! Got up early and exercised. Came home and finished my sermon and texted to encourage a couple of people. Late lunch w/Barb. Visited Bobby and Judy. Talked to the kids a bit about the day. Everyone had a good one. Madi is feeling a little sick @ her stomach. Seems to be going around. Went to Ackerly meeting. Gave my 8 version Bible to Alison and she really liked it. Levi had a great message. Cara T told us how great Mase was and all the kids he helps. Mrs. Grumbles told us that KC is great w/ Zack. Everyone was really glad we came and encouraged to see us1
Hungry, but got home at 8:30 and decided it was too late to eat. I'll have a great breakfast tomorrow. Til then...
Sept 25
Good start! Up early and not that tired. I went to bed SUPER hungry, but really didn't get up that hungry.

5 WU on tread
20 m tread on level 4 and finished running 1 min on 5.0

Lunch was caldo w/ veggies no chicken
1/2 a pumpkin raw bar
a few apples, a banana
i didn't eat anything after about 6:30 b/c of the ackerly meeting. not ideal, but made a goal of not eating after 8 so I didn't.
Sept 26
Didn't really "want to" workout today, but I sure didn't want to come home and eat or go back to bed. In the moment the body says let's just come tomorrow, but the mind pushes through and in the end if the goals win over the sometimes lazy desires, success is present!!!
Weight:
I "cheated" a little today, b/c I wanted to make sure I'm still on track. So, I weighed. I was pleasantly surprised to see 277.6 lbs staring back at me. I really should be more disciplined and let that be my Monday morning excitement to wake me up and get me going, but I see it there by the toilet every time I go. I guess it was good this time, but I'm going to try really hard to wait and from here on out just weigh on Mondays.
Today I'm finally getting closer to working out an hr a week day:
WO:
5 WU
30 elip
15 tread 4.0
2 tread 5.0
5 CD
Meal:
I also told myself I would allow an egg and toast every Monday morning, but HUMP day is kinda feeling hard. My stomach is begging for food and I'm going to have lunch with the kids, so I want to be plenty full! I had an apple and banana already and since we are out of salad...egg w/Ezekiel bread it is :)
for lunch i had a raw revolution bar (chocolate crave). its now 4:30 eating two bowls of caldo (no chicken), carrots, corn, shredded squash, salsa, limes & salt
Sept 27th
Still on a roll! Got to sleep in a little today, so that was nice. The down side is I got started in the gym later, but I still nearly got in my hour and I'm well on my way to make my goal of 5 hours a week! Lots to do today!!!

Sept 28 Crazy lazy day!
Woke up to tons of rain and it was still going. After the late night workout, I decided that the gym was NOT calling my name this morning. Not sure if I'll make it up 2mrw or later in the day? Slept til like 11! Everything feels ok, just really tired.

Banana, blueberry shake

I'm back on track and I'm going to do better tomorrow. This was not my weekend and most of it was emotional. I think I need to run to the gym when problems arise. I really need a better plan for when hard times comes. I let too little bug me too much!
