a challenge a day...

Keeps the doctor away? Nah. But it sure keeps me pumped. 
And I'm pretty sure feeling great about completing a 'challenge' is something to say for your health. Which in return means no doctor. Who goes anyway? I know I don't. I'm all about being all nat-u-raaaal. Medicine free. After changing my diet- into a vegan one. Wow. The benefits. I just truly don't get sick as often, and I feel good. Feel more energetic. Of course, don't get me wrong. There are many ways of being an unhealthy vegan. You can do anything the wrong way- believe me. 
It's more than anything, more than being vegan, more than working out for 2 hours a day- it's MORE about being healthy all the time. Consistently. Not milking every moment of everything. Ya know? And I know you know! We all know. 
We all were once babies ;) We know how to get what we want. But we also hopefully learned discipline...also. Which we have to carry on in our adult life with. So about this post. Where am I going with it- after that extreme long tangent. 

I'd like to propose another challenge! My first one, in case you missed it, was a 5 day Cleanse. Which has been going surprisingly well for me and others who are in on it. :) So proud of you guys by the way! It ain't easy! Even though were all trying to act like it is ;)

The Challenge of the week! Join me or Join me not. All up to you! But I mean, why not? Don't you need a boost?
I know I still do- even after this cleanse. So for me, my reasons may be different than yours. But 5 days of being raw, isn't enough to kick my bad habits. Which are eating to much carbs alllllll the time. Talk about milking it :/ Yeesh. I 'used to be' a carb hugger. But since that 'used to be me'. I am changing my ways , acknowledging it and moving on. So I am challenging myself to another week of none of them. Then after that I will not crave them as much. Which will be awesome! Cause thats the issue. I'm flushing them all out in order to get rid of all my toxins. Which for me was mostly Coffee, Wine and unused Carbs. Unused in the manner of I didn't go running after that- to use my carbs wisely. I actually have had absolutely no workout plan the past few weeks after quitting the gym. It's hard, but I know some of us can't afford to maintain the cost of the gym unfortunately. And to be honest- I just don't use it enough, for what it's worth. I am nature person, I love being outside. So what am I doing? I need to go outside! Right!? Sometimes when we say something out loud, were like, for real? Wake up call! DUH! :) But no seriously. If there is something you've been wanting to do- and haven't been doing it, can we all just agree to tell ourselves to be quiet and just do it. :)In the nicest way possible I mean that! 

Our inner self wants the best for us. So I don't know where that other voice comes from telling us to remain on the couch or not get up and do something, etc. Gotta make it go away and change it into a motivational voice. Hopefully the voice you hear as you read this! Even though you have no idea what I sound like :)

So for my proposal-
Same concept as my raw food cleanse. 
This is a detox, I repeat, this is a detox. Either your ready or not to join the challenge.

Detox: No: coffee, alcohol. Bread/grains. Sugar. Oils
Includes: Veggies, Fruit, Nuts, Raw Cacao, Seeds, Beans & Legumes.

Outline: 3 meals a day- 1 meal being a smoothie. 1 meal being raw, 1 meal being cooked.
Snacks: Fruit or nuts, dark chocolate with no sugar.
+Most importantly lots of water

keep rocking your challenge, you're absolutely right about kicking those habits and cravings to the curb. Ultimately 14 days should do the trick but any amount of time one chooses to honor their intuitive decision helps in the long run!

Finally had a good browse on your site and my...Gels with me good.
Thanks for being around. I am in the process of recovering from an eating disorder, I am on the life long journey of self discovery, I am the creative type who has tried everything. I do a lot of research, then implement when I am ready, if it eventuates. Right now I am trying to be the healthiest person I can be. I am studdying the mind (Tibetan Buddhism) and would love to have a food diary/meal plan to accompany my efforts for my body.

Do you have any write up sheets, meal plans, daily diary templates you would e-mail or share with me?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Kind Regards,

Hannah

Hi Hannah! Are you trying to lose weight or maintain, or gain? I could give you a balanced meal plan, something similar to how I eat in a day, But I am trying to lose weight right now... so I'm not sure if that would be right for you? Thank you for taking the time to read my website and browse around :) I update my facebook/thedailykale a lot more, if you'd like to keep in touch through there- when I post on here. But if you could give me just a few details so I could know whats best to tell you I could definitely figure one out for you :)

Hi,

That sounds good. I am trying to loose too.
I eat mainly raw and I am vegan. I'm going to try sprouting today.
I love lots of smaller meals and am generally not fussy.
