Banana Island-Day 0

Hi guys!

It's been so long since I've posted on here!!  Like a year it seems.

I really wanted to keep up a blog here for my 30 day challenge on banana island, starting tomorrow.  I have fake nails on so it is really hard to type... so I will keep it short today.  

Truthfully, I really started the challenge on September 1st, lasted 4 days, and then succumbed (temporarily) to temptations in and around my home.  My family is neither vegan nor raw, although I've been transitioning for nearly a year and a half now.  I'm steadily making better and better choices while at the same time my body is asking for healthier and more natural foods than before.  I still slip up now and then, but for me it has been a process.  I often congratulate myself for my overall improved diet and health.  I never get down on myself for being a "failure"... that is what has led me to the "binge-starve" cycle in the past and I refuse to do that to myself!  I don't deserve that so why would I inflict that on my own being???  No way, Jose.  Not anymore.

So far tonight, I'm feeling the all-too-common urge to "feast before the fast".  Pig out tonight because the next 30 days is gonna be only BANANAS!!  But I am not doing to badly. 

Anyway, the main thing I wanted to mention in this blog today was my goals for banana island:

I want to experience-

improved digestion

higher/more consistent energy levels

better sleep

clearer thinking

weight (fat) loss

detoxification

clearer skin

Those are the main things.  I'll add to it later if I think of it more.

These nails are getting REALLY ANNOYING NOW so Im gonna go, but I'll report back tomorrow after my first day. :)

Love u guys!!!!
