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…
Slow down on the dried fruit
I’m going to have to slow down on the store bought dried fruit…namely mango and banana chips. What did I see when checking Yahoo today…The worst ‘healthy’ foods. Good article. It said… Dried Fruit 175 calories 45 g sugars Eat this instead! Fresh fruit, like an apple or a peach 70 calories 15 g sugars…
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…
