July 4th Saga - Falling Off The Wagon
ok... so i did my 30 days and the plan is to keep going... but the 4th of july got in the way :( ... i'm not making excuses.... but i AM human, so i'm just documenting what happened... my sister came in to town and i'd promised her, two months ago, that when she came i'd COOK for her... specifically i'd cook her some beef ribs for the 4th... she held me to that promise and i kept it... had a few people over and made an event of it... i decided to still continue with my green smoothies in the mornings and i did a lot of raw, BUT i also ate the regular cooked food... so if being 80% raw is equivalent to being in rehab, then the 4th of july is like falling off the wagon... and i don't think i just fell off --- i JUMPED off... had a good weekend though... but NOW??? my BP and BGL are back up... this morning, 136/89 and 218 respectively with a resting pulse of 73... it didn't help that last night, for the second night in a row, i ate a PINT of coconut milk ice cream... AND my back is spasming... so i'm back on track today... back to what i know i need to do... and now that i've gotten used to 100% raw breakfasts and lunches, i'm ready to begin my next change... i'm going to attempt to start going to bed earlier... don't laugh, but i need to be IN my bed by midnight... i need to write it to make it a real commitment to change... i'm also going to try to incorporate at least 10 minutes of serious exercise 3 times a week into my schedule... once again, don't laugh... i need to start at a pace that i can maintain indefinitely so that it can become a part of my lifestyle... all throughout my off the wagon weekend, i still ate 100% raw breakfasts and only on saturday was my lunch NOT a 100% raw... so this is now a HABIT for me and i'm glad, because as bad as it was, it could have been worse... i have no more pints of raw frozen desserts in my freezer, so i won't binge on them... i just need to not bring them home... we shall see how i fare on that... anyway, enough of this... i have to do what i have to do...
