Going well thanks. I bought a vitamix last week and I'm doing a 7 day smoothie plan to start out.

I don't know yet about the muscle building aspects since I have struggled with weight issues most of my life but my biggest motivating factor is how I feel. I did a juice fast about a year ago for fifteen days and I was amazed for the first time in my life I had crazy energy by about day 8-15 and all i was drinking was juice by juicing. I thought I would be drained but it's amazing how I felt the exact opposite. That is why I am drawn to a raw food diet. I want to feel that way again. I invested in a vitamix yesterday, almost got the ninja as it had a food processor as well but I guess I'll have to make do with my small food processor. At least for now I will only be preparing food for myself as my family isn't ready to follow me yet.

I'm finally doing this. After the hell of acute pancreatitis at age 25, over a decade of heartburn. Tryglicerides through the roof, high cholesterol, being overweight on and off since the age of 12 I'm finally taking control. I have 3 beautiful children and a wife that loves me. This is not a sob story. In fact if anything there will only be tears of joy because I know this will change me, This is my proclamation to the world!! I am not going to keep this to myself or mull it over in my head. I want to say it out loud, I am going raw!!! Too long have I denied my body it's right to be healthy. I have been given the keys to this Ferrari that is my body and to this point I have trashed it. Not anymore it is time to change, not a diet but to embrace a lifestyle that I can take with me forever. I just got the Rawtarian app today and will start fresh in the morning with my new life. I have been vegetarian for 2 weeks so this should be a nice transition. And did I mention I live in Hawaii. It shouldn't be hard to find nice raw ingredients. I look forward to letting you guys know how this goes. Sorry to go off on a rant but i felt like I needed to get this off my chest and at least here I will be preaching to the choir. Looking forward to meeting the community here and wish me luck! (And dedication) I'm Jay by the way!!
