]]> 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.

]]> I was so stressed about my taxes this year and usually that would lead to eating, eating, and more eating.  But things are different and I’m so happy.  Sunday I stayed in…rested from filing my taxes on Saturday.  I ended up just napping, cleaning the house…it was great.  I went to the store and just let my body tell me what it wanted.  I usually get bananas, but I’m not really feeling them right now.  So I got mangoes, kiwi, carrots, salad, sunflower seed, dried pineapple, baby portabello mushrooms and black olives.  When I came home made a great salad and felt great.  I’d only had apple sauce and carrots earlier in the day.  I really felt like I ate and was satisfied.  No night time sugar run…no late night eating.

Yesterday, Monday at work I had so much energy.  I felt warm…ya know.  I only had kiwi in the morning so I was concerned…will that be enough to hold me till lunch.  It did.  By lunchtime I was ready for my usual salad but not riddiculously hungry.  I had lunch with some of my co-workers and no one questioned my eating :).  Later that day a friend did my state taxes and I had to wait around for about an hour.  Even though is was kinda chilly out and I just had on a light jacket, I felt like walking so I just walked all over her neighborhood…trendy lil neighboorhood with shops in DC…for the whole hour.  I was so surprised.  I wasn’t tired or rundown after.  I could have kept walking.  It was great just getting the exercise but not having to feel all stressed in the gym.  I took her out to eat afterward and had a bowl of berries at Busboys and Poets and wedge french fries.  I know…not raw, but I wanted the starch and I felt ok with eating it.  🙂  I love my body.  I love my journey.  It’s my life to live and I’m living it with compassion.

Oh…and my friend who did my taxes says she can see the weight loss in my face.  Yay!  That was encouraging!  It’s great to have people who are supportive of the positive, healthy changes in your life.
