more RawRRR! Day 08 – The first weigh in *gulp*

Gawd ok, here’s the weigh in video I did yesterday morning – had a full on day and just felt like chilling out yesterday evening so didn’t get round to editing and publishing and uploading it until now!

Last week I was 10st 7lb / 147lb / 66.4kg and 35% body fat

This week I am 10st 5.5lb / 145.5lb / 66kg and 33% body fat

So although not a huge difference, there still IS a difference, despite my being on my period so it’s not completely horrendous.   I forgot to take my measurements so I’ll do those in the morning and update this post then.. better find the tape measure.

Positive changes I’ve noticed?  My hair and skin are softer, in fact my hair is a lot less frizzy.  My friends tell me I am looking more ‘sparkly’ and I just feel a lot lighter generally – so that’s great!

Sure I can do more.  And maybe I will do a short juice feast for  a few days.  Definitely writing my menu plan last week was a great help and so I need to sit and do it again as I’m SURE you’ve loved my recipe videos *grin*

To update you, as I’ve not been around much since last Thursday, I’ve been helping one of my sisters do a house clearance sale, packing and moving stuff so she can embark on a radical lifestyle change. I find clearing out the clutter is a great exercise, even if it’s not mine! How weird, eh? *lol*

The kids groaned though, as I came home and started going through our cupboards and also encouraging them to sort through their crap, I mean, treasures.

This evening, I’m probably going to have a go at listing stuff on eBay and also reselling some books via Amazon – am wondering if the effort/reward ratio is going to be incentive enough to do the whole lot or if I’ll end up carting it down to the local charity shop instead…

Wendi Dee nearly 100lb Weight Loss Story

I just came across this very inspiring video via the website http://www.ToughLoveWeightLoss.com (Stephanie from that website had posted a comment on one of my YouTube videos) and have to share it with you.

It’s by watching videos like this from http://www.PureJeevan.com and making connections with others, like Stephanie and the lovely Jo who takes the time to keep in touch with me, that I feel motivated to just keep returning my focus on what I want – a healthy, vibrant me and I know raw foods is a crucial key to my success in achieving that.  Thanks guys!
