Day  10

Today I will be traveling to the raw food festival. I have done my training and will leave this early afternoon. A bit scary because we will be staying at a hotel for 3 days and those are the times when I really like to eat whatever I want. Old behavior patterns and such start to kick in. On the other hand I will get a chance to see what I can do for myself. I have not packed anything but my herbs and will buy water when I get there. This will surely be a test.

Day  9

Almost half way through the detox. I will have my blood work results in a week. My blood pressure and my weight are really doing fantastic. My blood pressure in 116/78 and I have lost another 5 pounds since last week.

My trainer encourages me not to get into the weighing game. That is what I needed to hear and have to remind my self of it especially since I train so hard. I am looking for huge results in the weight department. I really do feel healthy and stronger.

Day  8

Today I will be going to the doctor to take some blood tests and I am very curious to see how I am doing. Will go in after my training session and see what is up.

Today is a day that I will be working on the starts again. Can’t wait to see how far if any that I have come.

Day  7

Wow doing the beach steps and walking to and from the sand after a work out is a true challenge.  Just walking to the sand point where I exercise is a challenge.  I am even running!  Something I said I would not do and felt could not do…  but I am!

The herbal detox is making challenges that I had seem so much more attainable.  I don’t feel sore and don’t feel like giving up.  Just do it is my mental motto. I am really looking forward to how I will feel when the detox comes to an end with the exercise as my booster. It is very exciting!

I do notice my body slowing down a bit with the detox.  Guess a great deal of the junk in my body is being released and now I am getting down to a deeper detox. Exciting!

Day  6

My day off from training is Sundays.  I usually want to do something and I take a walk near my house.  I seem to do more cooking without a problem for my family.  It is nice to feel that 5-6 days a week I really give exercise all that I have and it is working.  Feel a bit excited to be going to the raw food festival in Santa Barbara and to see what vegans are eating and talking about for 3 days.  Will leave this coming week for the festival.  Just going to relax and do my quiet time today.

Day 5

Five days of working out and I still need to figure out how I do it everyday without the painful aftermath. Oh, well… just be thankful and learn to take blessings as they come.

Today I walked a long uphill battle. Walking from Robertson in Beverlywood to Westside Pavillion. I never knew there were so many hills in the area. How beautiful to walk on an early morning and see such beauty and surroundings. Sometimes I would be a bit slow and tired and right at that time it seems that I would be ready to go slightly downhill. My trainer explained that going down is much harder than going up, and now I am believing it. I can feel the composure I need to keep up with to steady myself when going downhill or down steps.

My eating is still a way of life. I choose to care for myself each day. And for that I am truly thankful.

Day 4

Working out daily is tough! I have my food plan going well and with the personal trainer as my guru, I am really learning how much I can do. One thing that is very noticeable to me is that my body seems to recover so well. I have not felt sore or achy. I seem to be able to do what is expected of me and more.

I thought that the food would be a huge part of my training, meaning that I would need to really eat a lot more. But more than anything I just feel the need to take it easy when I am finished. Every day we train in another part of the city. I enjoy the diversity and the trainer’s information on my eating habits and body expectations. I feel good about the way I have been pushed.
