My Diet - Part two

June 4th, 2007

Because of my move I have been slacking on my diet and have been eating allot of fast food.  This is not good for me at all and I would like to get back into the swing of all natural.  This is where I feel the most healthy and I feel great about myself.  I have noticed that I feel tired and sluggish just from the weekend of eating junk food, I can actually tell the difference just from the few days I have eaten this way.  This to me is surprising, and almost shocking, to see that my diet is effected as much as it is.  Your body truly is a temple, I must take care.

My Diet - Update

May 29th, 2007

                           inspirational.jpg

Flying high today, I have lost a total of 15 pounds!  This is a great accomplishment and I am very happy with the results.  I have taken a more raw organic frame of mind and it has been working.  I have cut most of the meat out of my life, maybe once or twice a week, and I try to only eat one cooked meal a day.  Everything else has been raw fruits and vegetables, and it has been great!  I do have to say that I am moving this week, so I have less time to prepare foods, so much of my eating will more than likely be out of the house this week.  I anticipate this and hope that I can keep strong and stay green.

My Diet - Update

May 24th, 2007

Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.

Thomas Jefferson

 

I have yet to try the blood type diet, I am really looking to start that, but I have had to many things going on for me to focus.  My situation will settle down here in about 2 weeks, so I will then be able to update you as to how that works out.  I have actually been doing pretty well on my diet, I have only been eating one cooked meal a day, and everything I have eaten has been prepared from home.  I have started to eliminate meat from my diet little by little, and I am now eating some form of meat or poultry maybe 4 times a week.  I feel great and I have actually lost about 5 pounds!  Raw fruits and vegetables are the key!

 keep your eye out for the update!

My Diet - Part two

May 8th, 2007

I have been writing about my diet for about two weeks now, nothing has really changed with it since my last post.  I am very determined to loose a few pounds, and be healthy, in this I came across the “Eat Right for Your Blood type” web site.  After understanding the idea behind this change of diet, it sounds intriguing, so I am going to order a blood test kit to check my blood type.  The kit was $10.00 and should be here soon, once I test my blood type, I am going to try this out and see what I come up with.

Stay tuned
