Yesterday, Day 11, I tangled with my main foe…ice cream. I lost. I ate a bowl of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. I’m not going to beat myself up. There are going to be times when I have dessert, but I don’t want it to be like it used to be 3-5 days a…

Day 9: Recovering from sugar
Day 9/Monday I think I was recovering from the sugar in the drinks I had Sunday night yesterday. The inflammation in my hip acted up a bit more. I’ve been just walking in the city for exercise and yesterday I part of walk was uphill. I took an Ibuprofen and all was well. Weight: 180.5…

Day 7: Life doesn’t revolve around food
Today was the first day that I really realized how much my life was controlled by food. I was constantly thinking about what I was going to eat…rationalizing what was “good” or “bad”. I was worried about eating bad things. I wasn’t consumed with eating…I just thought about it way too much because it’s connected…

Exercise and Dried Mango
2 Notes on my process going to the 100% raw foods world. 1) I ate dried mango from Whole Foods (low sugar, low/no sulfur) on Mon, Tues, and Wed. Forgot to add that in cause it was at night. I know, I know…it’s not raw. However, I bought it to take away my late night…
Day 5…beginning Day 6: Have back up? Check!
Yesterday was a good day. The only problem was that I forgot my after lunch snack (fruit) and was really hungry from around 3 till I got a chance to grab a banana at Au Bon Pain. That was a little rough. I have to remember to carry some back up food. I had some…
Day 4: Feeling good, feeling dry
I need some lotion. I am so dry. My hands and my legs have shown signs of dryness. That would be ASH. You know what I’m talking about sistas and brothers. Amen. I love Nubian Heritage products and I’m about to slather on some of their chocolate smelling cocoa butter lotion after this post. LOL…
Day 3…Back to Raw
