Executive Decision....

A friend ever come up to you with some bright new idea and adventure and think you should do it with them and then after the conversation is over and you have time to really think about it you are like "what the heck was I thinking?!" And the friend even comes back to you like "maybe I was getting ahead of myself with this idea". Welp... that happened to me with in the last week.

I was sitting at work last week and I got a text from my Twin saying "I'm about to make an executive decision and I want you to be a part of it". So I'm like "ok.......... what is it?". I'm thinking she is gonna tell me she is about to move or something. She responds saying for a month she wants to eat raw foods and go on a cleanse (raw foods for three weeks and a cleanse for a week) and how we need to add more outdoor activities into our life. Now I've wanted to go on a cleanse for a while... although probably not for an entire week! However, since I eat a lot of salads and stuff during the week already, I figure.. doing it for a month? why not... So I was all gung-ho to the idea like "yea lets do it!"


When we get to planning stuff we just get on a roll. So we planned to start off this adventure with a raw foods potluck as our opener to this month long event. But before that we have to have our last meal of cooked food. (I'm still thinking of my last meal.... and my last meal is TOMORROW!!! I need it to be grand! I wanna cook, but I don't know what I want to make).

After reality set in... I realized a month is a LONG time... especially since I love food! When I have my cravings for CPK, Mac & cheese, bread, or whatever or if I go out to eat I'm gonna have to grab a salad. And if I'm invited to someones house for dinner I better pray they have a salad. I thought about having it were Saturday was the only day that I would actually eat cooked food, but I was like naw... if I'm gonna do it... I'm gonna do it right. Although I am a little nervous about it because I don't want to loose weight. I've worked for my current weight even though I really don't weigh that much. But I figure... if I'm eating regularly, juicing and still getting my nutrients plus if I'm working out and turning fat into muscle I should be fine and not really loose any.

Yes... a month is a LONG time and I know it will be hard... but I think this challenge with be good. I still have not totally formalized my game plan yet... I plan to do that over the weekend. But I figure having different types of salads and dressings... and eating different varieties of fruit will keep me from getting bored. I think the fast will be the hardest part, not eating for a week is challenging. The most I've fasted was a day and if I'm on my death bed... I don't really eat.

Yesterday my Twin asked my why are we doing this, lol and I just reminded her that it will be good for us and our health and it will help us reach our personal health missions. I'm a little apprehensive about it... but I'm a little excited to.

Live. Love. Smile. Enjoy.
