30 DAY EXPERIMENT

Okay, I'm ready - I think :)....I've been talking lately about how great I feel when I eat a high raw diet. But often, I end up overeating on foods that are not very good for me at the end of the day. I'll also have a cocktail at the end of the day that usually ends up becoming 2 or 3 glasses of wine! I'm finding that I just don't feel as well emotionally or physically when I do that. So, starting today, I am going to undertake a 30 day experiment (until June 24th - my daughters 21st birthday!) to see how my body reacts to no alcohol and a high raw diet :) Its going to be a huge challenge for me because I am so social. Its also going to be hard because I think I am going to have to face some of my emotions head on - you know - those emotions that have been hiding under the surface for YEARS - the ones I don't want to feel - the ones I mask with food & alcohol. I've already figured out how to explain to my friends why I am not having any wine (they all know that I am high raw) - I am going to tell them that it is an experiment with my night sweats - which, in a way it is. I am on bioidentical hormones - which are great, but I'm starting to figure out that I still have the night sweats when I drink alcohol at night. This will either confirm or deny that :) So...my 30 day journey begins - geez, right before memorial weekend!! But my excitement is high. I will try to blog during my rough spots and maybe I will be able to figure out my emotions and work through them to become the "real me" :)....so.....here goes!!! Wish me luck!!!
