September Challenge!!! Day1 !!! Challenge yourself !!!

Welcome to the first day of the challenge! I'm so glad you're here!!!
If you aren't signed up yet, you have until tonight, (Ok, I'll give you until tomorrow!) & there'll be a new challenge starting on October 1st...so hurry if your gonna join us for this one!
{& if you missed the deadline, don't worry, you can still follow along, & do the daily & weekly challenges with us, & just join up on October 1st! You just won't qualify to be a challenge winner at the end of the month...(details & the prize to be announced tomorrow afternoon!}
Every day I am going to have a mini challenge, and then every Tuesday I will have a big challenge, (& that's weigh-in day, if your goal, too, is to shed some pounds, cuz my mom weighs in on Tuesdays, cuz it's Biggest Loser day! (The New Season starts on September 16th!)
Then, rather than a video every day, I will have one at least twice a week (two or three videos a week is my goal).
Also for those of you who aren't 100% percent raw, that's fine, as long as you're still as raw as possible, & you might find you want to be more raw as the month progresses!
( I'm doing it about 95% raw myself...some days I'm 100%, though!)
So, with that said, the mini challenge for today is...
{...Drum roll please...}
Go find an empty notebook, & decorate the cover with pictures of fruits or vegetables, (you can add to it as you find pictures) and have it as your raw food challenge notebook! Even if all you write in it is what you eat everyday, it's very beneficial to have even that written down for learning from later.
Another good use for that notebook is to write down the recipes that you create or even recipes that you like to read about & want to try! (& make notes on what you liked/didn't like about them when you do try them, what you added, left out, changed...then when you make the recipe in the future, you have accurate notes on it!)
Also, make a list of any & all your health problems/concerns, & then you can see how long it takes them to clear up as you nourish your body with lots of REAL food! (even minor things we think are normal & everyone has, like regular colds/headaches, skin blemishes, dry skin, not sleeping well, indigestion, gas (!!!) etc.)
And if you want to lose weight, {I've lost 2 pounds so far! & want to lose maybe 8 more...?} you can keep track of your starting weight in your notebook, too! (& get someone to help you take your measurements, too...I've learned that sometimes you lose inches before pounds!)
Oh, & give your notebook a name!
(I'd love to hear what you call yours! And I'll tell you all about mine tomorrow!)
By the way, each week of the challenge, we're going to have a THEME...
...& this weeks theme is DETOX! (Because it can happen when you first go raw, & as you're healing, & there's lots I'm learning about it in all it's various forms, & I'd like to share that with you, share what I'm going through as I've been transitioning to more & more raw, & hear about your experiences. I'll be posting some links on this tomorrow, feel free to share yours in the comments section, & I'll post them, too!)
Stay Healthy!
