I was very busy with school and had done loads of writing for my english class, so i was not interested in writing about food or life. So im on summer vacation i have been for about 3 weeks now. I have been eating what ever i wanted and working out not soo much. Tomorrow though i am starting INSANITY. For those of you that have no idea what INSANITY is, it is an extreme 60 day work out.
So i thought to go along with INSANITY i would also try and up my RAW food intake and try and be a vegan. Now im am already a vegetarian and i love my dairy and eggs. So i will allow myself to still eat eggs and dairy but not as much and only if it is healthy. So i start tomorrow and i am excited.

a couple pounds lost energy gained
so i weighed myself today and i weigh 130, (i started out being 132 going into the fast)
so i have lost 2 pounds in 4 days! plus my energy is back and so far this has been a great little start to a long journey! Now the first couple of days those were the hardest! now im getting used to being filled up with my smoothies and i can even work out without getting too hungry after words.
Yesterday i ran a mile and a half and then did 20 mini stadiums ( on my stair case)
and i felt amazing.
now im not planning to do that everyday right now maybe just every other day.
But so far i feel great! a few cravings for cake (chocolate coffee cake to be exact)but other then that nothing
my consantration has also improved and im not tired all the time!
4 days down and 36 more to go!

It will be ok
so yesterday when my dad and I took Frank to the vets office they said he has a little bit of arthritis and his heart and spleen are enlarged. now I was feeling better when the vet told me it was just arthritis but when she told me about the enlarged heart and spleen my hear sank 30 feet. Now we give him pills for his pain and his heart. AND HE IS GOING TO GO RAW!!
thats right i knew about raw food for dogs for a while but never really tried it.
so this morning i gave him raw chicken breast and raw vegies. of corse he inhaled the chicken but the vegies he just pushed to the side.
So from now on its smoothied vegies FIRST then raw meat second!
so i cant wait to see if this new diet will help him out with his poor old body. i have high hopes that it will.
wish Frank luck!

very sad news.
last night before i went to bed my dog yelped as my dad was picking him up. we thought it was a muscle cramp and massaged him. then it happened again an hour later so we massaged him again.
this morning he kept yelping after he would get up from resting.so i know its not a muscle cramp.
im taking him to the vets office today to se whats really wrong with him but i think i already know
its bone cancer.
i know bone cancer happens to mainly larger dogs and my dog is a small dog but im almost sure thats what it is.
im very upset that i know most likely we will have to put him down.
he is 11 year old dachshund and i got him when i was in 3rd grade and now im in 12th grade! I hope im wrong and its only a sprain.

raw blueberry pie and sourdough starter.
so yesterday evening i handmade coconut cream and butter, and while i was making it i was thinking
"this is the last time i am EVER making this!" BUT today i made the raw blueberry pie and used the coconut milk and butter and i think it might be worth all the work, i will see later on this evening when i have a slice!
now moving on to bread world this morning after i fed it and stirred it around it bubbled just a little but still didnt look anything like everyone elses sourdough starter online ( A VOLCANO IN A JAR!!) so i added a pinch of yeast and some distilled water and a pinch of sugar and well it may not be a roaring volcano it is bubbling A LOT more and i am much happier! I HOPE IT TURNS OUT GOOD and i HOPE THAT THE RAW BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE TASTES GOOD!!
