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!

Permalink Reply by Ashlee on 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!

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?
Permalink Reply by Ashlee on 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!

My job interview was this day, I didn't eat much for lunch and therefore I was STARVING when I was finally able to eat dinner and got the most convenient thing to eat. Which obviously shows that when you don't eat enough during the day you reach for crap to eat instead of what you need. Bad day:P But I'll get better, I'm still transitioning:)
