30 day challenge HCCV!

Hello everyone, I'm starting a challenge myself this Saturday(7/7), I've been eating a LOT of added salt lately and really too much fat. I've even slipped up once and ate something that contained powdered SOY MILK!!!!! UGHHH!!!! I've been too leanient lately and not being as strict and aware as I should be! My challenge is this:

First and Foremost, absolutely NO ANIMAL products, literally check every label twice if you must!

Get 8-10 hours of sleep EVERY night

Try to play outside everyday for vitamin D

Less than 10% fat calories each day

No added salts (I know, tough one), only those naturally occuring

Strictly: 2 fruit meals and 1 cooked meal

No fried foods, of course

Plenty of water (I aim for 1.5 gallons most days, but some people do less)

I'll be tracking my progress here, so you can follow and keep me on track if you'd like:) Also if anyone wants to join me I'd love the company. Anyone who's joining me can also give me ideas on the vital things I've missed. Thanks everyone! I won't let you all down!

I think I'm gonna start Turbofire again, I have enough energy now so I might as well:) The only problem is that I'll have to get up an hour earlier so I'll lose some sleep but I'll take naps throughout the day if I must. Still contemplating though....

Hey is it too late for me to join in? I wanted to start tommorow --- maybe you might feel like going another 30! My big things include avoiding salt containing products, coffee. I wanted to start tommorow AUG 1st!

Hey! Yeah I'd be up for that! I am trying to commit to being fully Raw but I'm transitioning so I've been having some cooked food here and there, would you like to start another thread under your name in this group? Or just go off of this one? I'm up for it if you are:) Sorry it took a little while to get back to you, I've had a busy week of working and job interviews, I'd love to start very soon too!

Hello people:)
I'm pretty new to this, I have been vegan for a while but I'm really getting into raw now! This challenge seems like just the right thing for me. Is it to late for me to post here?

Congrats on deciding to do so! I'm trying to be fully raw myself but in this transition I sometimes have a little cooked food until I get used to eating 100% RAW and can better afford it. We can start whenever you guys would like, I'm so glad you're intersted in it!
