I do not recommend eating 2 watermelons right before bed.
I think I got up 9 times. No sleep for the hungry. Anyway, I’m crushin this raw vegan diet like it’s nobody’s business. It’s costing me about $80 a day-but for learning purposes, I"m willing to accept that. At the moment, I’m trying to develop a base program(a control, in other words), so I know, in the future, if throw something else in the mix(a variable), I’ll be able to pinpoint the cause of cause of the results.
I’m honestly feeling pretty good; my energy is through the roof and my skin looks absolutely flawless. It’s the NOT being tired in the middle of the day though that I really really love-so much so that it would be really hard for me ever to go back to a diet that ever had that effect on me. It’s a little hard to admit all that, eating raw meat has actually been a part of my persona for that last five years(it’s even harder admitting that!). I just have to think about doing what’s best though and let my feelings for who I am and what defines me go by the wayside. Maybe in the future those things will be more important but right now, this is what has to be done.
On the downside, I am losing quite a bit of weight. I’m lean as all get out, but I think I’ve dropped some muscle too-I know that I am sore for WAY longer than usual on this diet-so it probably needs some fine tuning, probably should throw some nuts in the mix(as of yet it’s been 95% fruit, 5% leafy vegetables). If that doesn’t work, I may go back to meat but I don’t think I’ll ever go back to the combinations I was doing before as they were causing me obvious blood sugar issues.
In other news, I’ve become a nudist. Not really, but I am tanning in the birthday suit wherever I can these days. It’s pretty damn nice-just got to find a spot without a lot of trafic. I usually climb to the top of some local…rock formations, for lack of a better word, and lay out there. Yesterday, some old lady sat about 10m away from me and read her book. She was cool with it and I decided I was too, so I didn’t get up.
Moving on, I’m coming back to the states for a month on the 4th of July. The plan is to do some filming for the new site. The back is feeling really improved and I think I’m ready to give a month of intense workouts a try. It’s been basically 2 years since I worked out regularly and intensely, so this should be good. My only qualm though is whether or not my diet is going to support it. My knee jerk reaction is no, but I have a goofy kind of feeling that it has the potential with a little fine tuning, like I said. There are some people out there that seem to have broken the mold when it comes to diet and it’s relation to muscle building-I’d like to see if I can get a little bit of what they’ve got goin on. As I crush my second head of lettuce for the evening, I think I can.
Last, I want to apologize yet again for being so bad with the blog. No good excuses, just been busy being excited and stressed at the same time about other stuff. Hope you’re all well.
