It's Been a While...

so i can't even believe that it's been THIS long... i haven't posted anything in over a month... nearly a month and a half... so here is a BRIEF synopsis of the past 6 or 7 weeks of my life... i decided to do two 10-day rounds of what i call a "raw food challenge"... i took about a week or two break between each challenge and everything was going well... i knew that thanksgiving was coming up and i didn't want to be restricted during the holidays so i decided to stay on track with my healthy living... by the week before thanksgiving, my BGL was runnin in the 140's upon rising (which is REALLY good for me) and was normal by afternoon... but i didn't maintain... i had my ENTIRE family spend the entire thanksgiving holiday with ME... it was fabulous... all of us in the same place at the same time is a rarity... i had a BLAST and then we invited our family friends to have thanksgiving dinner with us... it was so much fun... we had soooooo much food... we watched football... ate... watched movies... had a blast... then thanksgiving was over and everyone left and i was here by myself once again (and happy to be alone)... i was SUPPOSED to go back to raw when they left... it's been a week and a half now and i'm still eating processed and cooked food... yesterday was mostly raw but i messed up last night and binged on cereal and sweet potato pie... my BGL this morning was 260 and by this afternoon was 160... clearly this is a struggle... i wish i could just report good news, but it's not always so good... i refuse to get on a scale right now because i'm convinced i gained some of my weight back... even if just a few pounds, i don't want to know right now... thankfully, my BP is remaining wonderfully normal... it was 114/76 with pulse of 77 today... in two days i'm going to a raw food cooking class/seminar... i'm going to get back on track... christmas is coming and i'm going home... i won't be raw then, but when i eat mom's food i always get healthy anyway... so it will be all good... my goal is to continue consuming at least 75% of my food in it's natural state... i just thought i needed to check in... it definitely helps me to stay focused when i journal... i'll be back in less than 6 weeks i hope... lol
