Back since Nov 27th – Raw Again
Hey, sorry for the lapse. I’m not going to be tracking the days anymore…too much work. I needed some time to really immerse myself in the real reasons why I’m making this change. I needed to really understand what I was eating. I needed to revisit how so much of my favorite food really isn’t…
Still Raw, I don’t know what day I’m on
Well, I’ve been maintaining 80-100% raw food for the last week and a half. It’s been hard. I moved and that was stressful so I started eating chocolate again. Blame it on Halloween. Other than that and some bouts with salmon I’ve been at least 80% most days. I’ve had to really think about why…
Day 29: 6th day 100% raw
It’s the end of my 6th 100% raw day and I just weighed in at 176. YAY!!! I was supposed to go out to eat with a friend today at this poetry event. I went. They had free champagne and cake in addition to the fact that it was held at a great restaurant. I…
Day 27: My 4th Day 100% Raw
Today will be my 4th 100% raw day in a row this week. I feel like a mental fog has lifted. The internal fight with my cravings has lessened. I just can’t believe how much of a fight Tuesday and Wed were. I was really crazy, but I made it. Had a big salad from…
Day 24 and 25: back on track
Day 23 ended with no meat, no sugar…just a big salad with sunflower seeds, grapes, and some olives later that night. Maybe my body wanted some fat. I had a lil headache but it passes. I’m accustomed to having chocolate when I’m on my monthly (TMI…it’s been different. I can really tell I’ve been eating…
Day 23
“I’ve got the power”, as that C & C Music Factory Song says. 180 pounds today. I’ve been more vegan than raw vegan the last 5 days. Today I’m back on the wagon. All raw (smoothie, box of raspberries, baby carrots…so far). My Mantra I’m not a victim of food The mind controls the body…
Days 13-17: “It was all a dream…”
Sweets and comfort food were always a treat for me. Not being able to have them was a punishment. That’s how I felt on Day 13 (last Friday). I felt like I was in punishment and all I wanted to soothe my pain was some ice cream. I almost didn’t get any. I went out…
Day 12: Yesterday I fell pray to some ice cream
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 10
Yesterday was day 10 on raw food with only 1 day where I wasn’t 90-100% raw!!! Yeah! This is going better than expected. Weight today: 180.5 I’ve basically been eating the same thing every day…morning green smoothie, large salad for lunch, either another large salar for lunch or just fruit (grapes or rasberries) and some…
