Day 9

I am so focused and driven right now! My mind has never been more clear and I am in awe of the power of raw foods! What an amazing 9 days and how much my life has changed for the better. Today I was up early and I went out to watch the super fit athletes compete in the triathalon near my house. Getting wrapped up in the excitement and being surround by so many other fit people is so much fun! I would someday like to compete in a triathalon, but I'm truthfully not a great swimmer. They have a kid/amateur event that I think would be a lot of fun. Maybe next year! And I would really like to get into cycling too! I watched the insanely fit guys cross the finish line in UNDER 2 hours. Swim 1.5 miles, bike 24 miles and run 6 miles. Crazy!!

This got me going so then I had to take a run for myself. It was mid day so hotter than when I normally run. I like getting drenched in sweat though, but I was glad I didn't have to run 6 miles, but I will next weekend! I def excited about it, I know I will feel good. There will be over 1000 participants in the 10k and my bestie Jen will be there to cheer me on.

What else? In just 9 days, my mood has stabilized and lifted. I feel content and satisfied in all aspects of my life. I feel I am on a high, and its smooth sailing. I am not discouraged and I don't allow any negative thoughts to cloud my mind. There is no room for that! 

I am feeling a LOT leaner in the middle. The big chub I have had for so long and thought would never go away is...going away! My stomach is noticeably flatter and my love handles are on their way out the door. Now time to relax with kitty, shower and read a book. Tonight is the first night of the new kickball season, we have two games to play. And tomorrow is back to work. I'm going to run Mon, Tues, Wed and Thurs, and rest up Fri and Sat before the race on Sunday. 

Today was a smoothie day! So hot out, and these were refreshing and all I wanted to eat anyways.

2 bananas

Chocolate milkshake

Fruit smoothie with grapefruit juice
2 glasses juice

4 more bananas
Raw tacos

A light banana filled day, but just what I was needing.
