Yes she is on another crazy diet!

Anyone reading this who knows me personally knows that about once a year I embark on a crazy will power meets total lack of common sense diet for anywhere from 10 days to a month. Well, this year, I am at it again. The goal is always detoxing and weight loss, and this year I am going less extreme, in that it's not the lemonade diet, but more extreme in that it's gonna last 40 days! What? But lent just ended. If you refer back to posts you will see this is a little of , MAN, I ate/drank/acted like a crazy person over Easter weekend, and a little of me putting my money where my mouth is. So, today is day 2, and thus far I am alive and not hating life. Here's to 39 more! And the cray cray diet of the year is (drumroll please.........) raw, vegan. And now the reasoning behind it. (Like a crazy person needs a reason except to say my mother always called me fat.) But here is the other reason. I have been vegetarian for 4 years, and go vegan from time to time because I have en egg allergy anyway, don't drink much milk, so it's only cheese, and that is not unreasonably hard. Raw is partially because I don't want to cook all the time, and partially because my friend is dieting with me and she is allergic to gluten, so raw helps with all that. Now, I am not a total crazy person, yes there will be no alcohol or candy or cookies for 40 days, but I am maintaining the right to eat 20% non raw gluten free things every day, and decided that I can live without beer, but not without coffee and tea, so caffeine stays too! I know you are all rightly thinking, just eat less and exercise, and you would all be right. But, I like my annual spring diets, and do always manage to keep off at least 10 of the pounds I lose from them each year. Plus, it's gotta be good for the local economy, I am buying a LOT of produce! If anyone is interested in what one might eat on a raw vegan diet, hit me up, and I also will be putting tasty dinners up on pinterest. I should have taken a picture of dinner last night to put up, but instead I will do a before and after of myself and we can all see if there is a difference!!!
