Blog therapy... Why.

Why.

Why do I have moments when i dont want to run eventhough I know a nice long run is just what I need.
Why do I continue to eat 2 meals or so a week that are gluten filled and cooked when I KNOW it will give me a tummy ache.
Why do I go for taste and cravings over what is best for my body.

Why.


The short answer is .. I am not sure.
The long answer is ... 40 years of training that food is processed and fried and cooked  til void of nutrients is what food is. ....

I had an emotional 10 mile run tonight... I needed it. and I feel better.

I am happy to report I am over my lunges soreness! I will not being doing THOSE for a while as they get in the way of my running! ha.

foods front are going ok... I had a hamburger last night for supper... after I ate it I had a stomach ache.
for lunch after church today I had fried chicken strips and some potatoe wedges.... ...
What is the price I pay for eating like everyone else? A massive stomach ache after a 10 mile run.
Glad is it AFTER the 10 miler and not during! .. ha

Why can't I get my head around I AM GLUTEN INTOLERANT.... gluten=stomach aches.
.. again... 40 years of white processed bread is wonderful for you... thats why.

I am fine with where I am... starting week 4 of striving for 90% raw vegan... nothing like a massive tummy ache to keep you motivated HA!

The simple fact is.. do i want to feel good or not?
I am off to make a smoothie and call it a night... shopping tomorrow for this weeks raw foods.... :)

blessings!
RUN HAPPY! ... n if you cant run happy... RUN UNHAPPY... and you will feel better when you are done.

18 years of Choosing to Start Over

-
Welcome to were it all started, this space I created in January of 2006 to help me navigate my journey to personal health and fitness. I have come a LONG way from that first post 18 years ago and I am so grateful for all I have learned along the way. I will be coming here a lot more often over the next weeks, months and years as I have decided to begin writing, journaling and sharing here again. I hope and pray you might find inspiration here to help you along your own path to health and fitness. Please note that this 18 year journey consisted of several things I learned that did not work for me, others programs, supplements and others ideas of nutrition, health and fitness. I am leaving all these as is, so you can see my journey. I will be talking more about the different things I tried thru the years and what I learned about myself and what works for me along the way. If anything this blog chronicles my story of starting over and making hard choices to be who I someday dreamed of ...

The Experiement

Ok... so like I have said I have been about 90% raw for the past 3.5 weeks. So what was the Experiement you ask?  To eat "regular" meals for 24 hours and see how I felt. I ate "normal" foods like taco stew, corn bread, eggs, a few cookies (yes, cookies!). This morning I woke up and decided to have some hot decaf tea, eggs, and while my breakfast tasted yummy.. it was no where near as tasty to me as my all fruit breakfasts I have been having. About an hour later I was CRAVING fruit! I also had a slight headache. :( So I grabbed an orange. Later for lunch I had left over taco stew, come corn chips.... and again, while it tasted ok.. was nice and warm .. it left me wanting... CRAVING..  fruit. I also had.. you guessed it... a headache. Also.. last night... I woke up HUNGRY! I havent woken up hungry since giving 801010 a try. Going into this process I didnt think I would last 2 days. After making it over 3 weeks and having amazing results I have just been so shock...
