the month of may

So last month I decided I was going to do some sort of vigorous workout everyday (mostly wanting to run but if it was rainy I would do some other work out) and this went so well for the first 10 days of April until.... my appendix decided it didn't like living inside me anymore. The surgery went fine and I'm ready for a new month.

So I'm an extreme person, I like to do things big I guess... so for May... I want to get healthier, and while I still have a bit of healing to do I want to start a diet. Not just to slim down (though lets get serious, beach season is coming!) But it's mostly about discipline for me. I need to learn to discipline myself and a diet is a good way to kill 2 birds with one stone!

I am going to be eating only raw food for a month, after the month I'm going to try to incorporate mostly raw foods in my everyday, but if I need a little chicken or bacon I'm not gonna say no! But this means raw fruits, veg, nuts, a lot of smoothies and salads! I'm excited to try something new and I'm excited to be eating healthy. I've been getting my hands in to too much McDonald's and chocolate lately. Well this is to help teach myself my body is important, and also that I can't eat that crap forever or one day I'm going to be a fat roll-y sweaty old lady!!!

So I'm going to be (trying) to post daily on my struggles and successes!

Tomorrow morning I think I'll start with a yummy breakfast smoothie!

Wish me luck!
