Yeah.. why is it I have to wait until I feel so totally raw before I take action? As you can see from previous posts I have yo yo’d on and off raw food since I stumbled across juicing back in 2005. My life has reached a real crappy place but I’ve decided to make it better – after all I am the ONLY person who can do that eh!
One of the ways I’m going to do that is use this blog as a journal too – an online diary to keep track of what I’m putting in my gob as hopefully this will make me think a bit more before i stick my finger in a jar of Nutella…
I keep reading how successful people regularly journal and Karen Knowler talked about this the other day on her fab teleclass in which she covered the ups and downs in going raw – baring all in her own story. I listened in live and was gripped – listen to the recording at…

So back to me, as of course that is what I’m most interested in hahahahahha.
About three weeks ago I woke up and decided I’d start running again.. to say I’m unfit is an understatement. I’m 38, have two kids and not lost the lard completely from the second one who is now nearly 12 FFS! Procrastination is an artform that I’ve taken to extreme degrees… As my debts of tens of thousands pounds will testify to.
So anyway, sick of myself, I thought – just ten minutes Sarah – even YOU can do that. And so I started… I didn’t tell anyone, which to be honest I think really helped as so many people expect me to fail as I’ve done in the past. I am of the view though that I’ve not failed until I’ve given up completely!
The first week I did ten minutes for four days then the second week i decided I’d add on a minute a day. Doesn’t sound like much but guess what, week 3 and I ran 21 minutes today without dying publicly on a high street in Shoreham and I feel so bloomin’ proud of myself. I may even be brave enough soon to start sharing photos.. omg the ones taken of me on the marketing cruise I went on are so hideous – I look so old!!!
I’ve already dropped from 10stone 7lbs to 10stone 10stone 2lbs and my clothes are starting to fit better. My scales also tell me my % body fat (oh the joy hahah) and this morning it smugly told me that a lardy 31% of me is FAT – gawd – should be under 25% to be healthy I believe *sits in her chair and pokes her gut muttering… go away!*
Anyway, I’m making positive steps.. so far today I’ve had:
Half a croissant (ok not a great start), litre of water, a green juice for lunch made with spinach, carrots, avocado, apple, celery and am snacking on some grapes… until tomorrow!
