Raw

I like me some damn food. It doesn't matter what it is, I'll tear it up. For reals. That said, I've always dabbled with nutrition but never long enough to get anywhere with it, largely due to my sweet tooth, or teeth, as it were. I once considered trying the vegan thing once but soon realized that I couldn't live without ice cream. And no meat? Forget about it. Anyway, my lovely girlfriend (Mandy) is a new-age-hippie of sorts - vegetables, yoga, that sort of thing. She does a lot of fun experiments... the latest one is the raw diet. I'm all about trying something new and I'm always down to suffer a little so I volunteered to participate. I think she's shooting for two weeks but I only signed up for one. It's only been two days and I've probably eaten more fruits and vegetables in the past 36 hours than I did in the entire month of June. Sorta funny. The will power has been the hardest thing for me to overcome. Not eating candy for two days would be noteworthy, but this has gone to an entirely different level. That Mandy is keeping my spirits up and has been cooking up, or just preparing I guess, some delicious eats! Just tonight she made some fake spaghetti. Zucchini noodles and a tasty tomato sauce. Good stuff. No joke. Hopefully I can last until Sunday without breaking down. I want a Fat Boy so bad. Don't tell Mandy though. All things considered it will be a good test and I'll try to report my findings come Monday when I go back to normal life.

*I should also mention my buddy Craig and his quest for healthier living. I just stumbled onto his new blog this evening (which you should check out) and was inspired. Craig, I'm proud of you man. I'm rooting for ya.
