    Ran 3 miles, (whew I didn't think I could do it!) drank a ton of H2O, and under calorie goal.

    If anyone cares to join me, my mini goal for the week is to eat at least one raw meal a day. I think I might do this all month but I'm starting wth a week :)

    Kathy, that's interesting what you said about drinking water first thing in the morning. This morning I drank a litre of water (35oz) in bed whilst my toddler drank his morning milk. That's what I'm going to do every day from now on to get a good bit of water in to start my day off healthy:)

    Welcome new members. How is everyone doing? I've completed the challenges so far and fitted in a mini triathalon yesterday (swim/run/cycle/walk) and a 6 mile leisurely walk today. ok, so some of that was shopping but, hey, I was walking. I mean business this month!! Good luck for the month ahead.

    Feel free to add me as a friend if you'd like some more:)

    I can join you in the raw meals- I just started a similar goal- NO MORE PROCESSED foods- but i have modified it to be more of a im gonna eat 60-90% raw (live) foods. Tonight was actually first cooked meal ive had in a while- shrimp and eggplant on the stove. Yum! But happy to go back to more raw tomorrow!.

    So- you really do get a sort of High from working out. I have just started this- eating better and adding excercize- and this past week is the first time i am making it regular and boy do i notice a difference. My mood and outlook is better happier and I feel less stressed. Then I get this surge of energy (a little after the hurt wares off) and cant wait to work out again or go walking or just move! I hope this continues this way!!
