]]> I’ve made it to the mental promise land of 7 days.  I am so proud of myself for staying on raw foods.  Sure, I’ve had a few pieces of candy and a run in with my baby’s home cooking, but compared to the terrible eating habits I’ve been practicing for the past few years, this is a real WIN.

Day 7 was really busy.  As of the morning I was 197 pounds.  I had a lot to do on Sunday and I had by baby with me (my Peekapoo, Daisy).  Went to Eastern Market in DC to check out the fresh produce and had Fresh Lemonade and some fruit to start the day.  Later I realized that I actually should have bought some fruit to take with me so I ended up eating some dried fruit strips in the afternoon.  Got home and had a nice green smoothie with 2 bananas, mango, and spinach.  Ended the night with raw nuts (peanuts, sunflower seeds, and cashews) with a little sea salt sprinkled on them.  My water intake could have been better but I tried to make up for it before bed.  Did P90X with my baby and went to bed very tired.

I wasn’t really that hungry.  I think I was stressed out by my taxes (That I didn’t start on until Sat).  Ugh…Maryland taxes are HIGH!  Couple that with Aunt Flo at the door with my monthly and you get a recipe for diet hell.  Normally I would have grabbed for chocolate or ice cream, but the cravings weren’t there and I thank goodness!  That is real change for me.  I’m no longer coping with life’s challenges with food.  I’m facing life and living it.

I see wellness manifesting in my life.

]]> 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 to my weight…and my weight is connected to my self esteem…the way I feel about myself.  The way I feel about myself is something I have to confront and/or embrace everyday.  Today I felt good about me.  I got a pedicure and my brows arched.  I went down to the National Mall and put my feet in the huge fountain at the Sculpture garden.  The huge jets of water combine like every 30 min…and you can see rainbows in the water from the way the sun shines through.  Beautiful…you’d have to see it.  🙂  I also went to the National Museam of Art…saw a couple Picassos…some Degas sculptures.  Awesome.  The coolest thing was that I was present…in the moment…not distracted.

Weight: 180.5

What I ate:
Green smoothie: Kale, 1 banana, frozen blueberries, and spinach
2 bananas
1 cup of walnuts
banana chips
large salad with walnuts, red onion, mushrooms, and sunflower seeds

I walked at least 3 miles…maybe 3.5 today.  I walked from the nail parlor to the mall…it’s a hike.  I might have walked even more…I’d have to check Google Maps.   I was kinda tired after, but not extremely so.  I feel really good right now (it’s around 9pm) and I have lots of energy.  Life is good.  Oh…I didn’t have to face the challenge of eating out today…dinner got rescheduled for tomorrow.  I’m hopeful that I’ll just be satisfied with salad.  I’m not naive enough to think it won’t be challenging.  I know what I want…I don’t want to go backwards.
