21 Day Cleanse is HARD!!

So, I haven't been the most faithful, but a lot is happening. I've had about 60% successs. Next week is the last week and I plan to do better. In fact, I plan to keep going in a modified fashion.

I have not maintained a vegan diet. I've been eating meat. BUT, I have exercised 2x in the last week and that is very good.

In addition, I am meeting with my triathlon team on Thursday, so that is also very positive. I will have my body fat measured on Monday, which should also encourage me to adopt a better diet in the upcoming month.

2008 will be a great YEAR!!



I am very excited about the upcoming year, but before I share with you what's coming, I will admit my shortcomings for 2007.

I deviated from eating vegan food during the holidays. I ate fried turkey and ham on Thanksgiving. I had the weirdest cravings for baked chicken the following week. I went back on a vegan diet plan until Christmas. Oh, I did attempt eat fried fish 2x before Christmas and threw it up each time. I'm done with that.

So, again I had fried turkey on Christmas and other items with dairy and/or eggs during the holiday season. On New Year's Eve, I enjoyed grilled salmon and other vegetarian dishes with eggs/dairy. Today, I had a turkey sandwich.

Okay, so those have been my challenges over the last few weeks. What's next!!

21 day cleanse. Yeah, it starts on Monday, thus my continued lax approach to a vegan diet. I will be giving up processed foods during this cleanse. It takes you from a vegan diet to a raw diet over the three weeks. Very cool. This is the same cleanse as 21 Day Detox Steve's Cleanse has an advanced protocols for people who are already raw foodist. That's not me.
