Raw Cleanse Give a Way Winner!
At the beginning of the Raw Cleanse, I asked all the members 3 questions:
* What was your last cooked meal before starting the cleanse?
* How many days is your goal for your Raw Cleanse?
* What is your WHY for doing the Cleanse?
For the ones who have participated in the drawing, I wrote down the names of each, threw the names in a bowl and randomly picked one lucky winner!
Becky Haavisto Demastus is our very first Raw Cleanse FREE Give a Way WINNER!!!!
Her answers to the questions:
"The night before starting my raw cleanse I ate Penne Al la Vodka. One of my FAVORITE pasta dishes. So creamy and rich...ummm, ummm, good :)
My Raw Cleanse goal is/was originally 30 days, but I think I'm going to keep going! I continue to lose weight at a steady pace of 1-2lbs/week and I have a goal and I'd like to stay raw until I meet that goal then stay "mostly" raw once I reach my goal. My mind is so clear and I feel great!!
Why did I join? Because I need motivation to be successful in the things that I do. My friends and family think it's crazy to eat all raw so surrounding myself with people like me motivate me to keep going."
Thanks!
Becky Demastus
What an awesome goal Becky!! And you're right on, surround yourself with people like you who will motivate you to keep going!!!!
