Exercise: Resting
Food: Water fast
After zooming around New York, plus all the other exciting stuff I've been doing over the past few weeks I've taken some time yesterday and today to dig deep spiritually. There are things that I need to do, but I don't want to lose sight of who I am called to be.
Right, I've decided that I'm going to introduce a new exercise programme, because the weather is not conducive to my running at the moment. I'll keep running on the weekends as much as I can. I'm learning the importance of asking myself what I'm really aiming for when I set a goal. One of my goals was to run outside everyday, and I have successfully achieved this until recently. I was getting a bit frustrated at being thwarted by the weather. So I had a think about the reasons behind that goal, and they are to get fresh air, start the day doing something life-enhancing, keeping physically fit. So in order to keep those elements, I'm going tweak my physical fitness activities, get fresh air every lunchtime (more, plus run at weekends), and start the day with prayer. Win, win.
Same thing with eating raw, work out your 'why' first. The 'how' will be different for different people and will change as your life changes. For example some people will start of eating partially raw or raw gourmet i.e. eating their previous cooked food menu but in raw form, but later on they may find their body doesn't like that anymore and their health may be impeded, or that they want to spend less time in the kitchen, or find that it is not an easy cuisine to travel with, so in that case remembering their 'why', they may then decide to eat gourmet or cooked at weekends or special occasions only, and begin to introduce simpler raw eating strategies to motor them towards their 'why'. Win, win.

Keep An Open Mind
Exercise: push-ups
Food: pineapple and celery juice, 12 bananas, big green salad with tomatoes, avocados and celery, 250g dates, a few raw pistachios and cashews, two helpings of banana and mango pudding. As we are moving into Autumn in the British Isles;) I seem to be really loving the mango/banana pudding. If you like custard you should try this, you still get the smoothness and the sweetness, but also mega bonus, NUTRITION!
Because it stays darker in the morning longer, it's eating into my running time. Either have to start later and therefore start later at work or run in the dark. What I might try to do is run a little later a couple of times in the week and then whenever I want at weekends. And do more bodyweight stuff the rest of the time. My main reason for running is not so much the exercise, although I love it, but being in the fresh morning air - air bathing;)
Why do I eat raw? I have at least 50 reasons. No seriously I do, all written down. I think it is important to know why you do something or want to do something. At the very least it will show you what you really are not bothered about and help you consider whether you should dump it, or how you can make your 'why' bigger. At the moment I have two reasons really standing out, mental clarity and not feeling tired. I have a lot of commitments on right now so particularly appreciate these two benefits. I have produced two pieces of writing at work today and last Friday that have been simply stunning. And that is because my mind is so clear. I also produced them in under 30mins each. Those are big 'whys' and I have no intention of giving them up!
I don't get tired, only sleepy when it's time to sleep, otherwise I am motivated, energetic and forward thinking. Is this beginning to sound attractive to you? Because you can have it any time you want it.
Number one tip for creating magnificent change, keep an open mind.
