It's Getting Easier

It feels nice to say that Raw Vegan is a lifestyle that is become easy and second nature to me.  The only time I have not eaten Raw I still ate Vegan and it was in Disneyland.  They didn't have a completely raw salad so I got a salad that had a few grilled veggies on it.  It's okay not to be 100% raw 100% of the time, although it is the goal.  I would say a better goal for me this year is 99% raw.

I had a doctors appointment this past Friday and am waiting to get some blood tests back as well as to hear if my kidneys are doing better.  I don't expect things to be perfect, that takes time.  You can't reverse 15 years of bad habits in three weeks, but those three weeks are definitely helping.

The past two weeks I have had this residual cough from being sick and a not so great work schedule that has allowed me to become lazy with my running.  As I was thinking about the reasons that I didn't run these past two weeks I also realized that I was just making excuses.  I am going to form a habit of getting up at 7 am everyday (even my weekend) and either running, walking, or reading.  Today is day one of my new schedule.  I will say that it's not pleasant waking up at 7, but it is actually a lot easier than I anticipated.

Raw vegan eating has become easy for me so my next challenges will be my new schedule and running regularly again.  I have also been looking at going back to school for Nutrition, since I already own so many books on nutrition and study it personally.  

Self improvement is not easy and it takes a lot of determination, but it's worth it.
