RAW again

Yesterday I started my 100% RAW diet again...... hopefully I can do a better job at planning this time.. I also started a Marathon Training Program. I had a fabulous day and if all days were like that, it would be easy to stay RAW.

My day yesterday.

~Banana and water before the 1st day of marathon training.
~Ran 3 miles- YES, I'm sore today.
~Apple and water after my run.
~Home for a wonderful nap :)
~Facial & Massage and lunch at One World downtown- everything is organic, not all is raw but there is alot that is, I had the fruit and salad.
~Dinner at Omar's, I had the pizza and chocolate gogi drink, it was the best food I have had! I'm in LOVE :)

OMAR'S is 100% RAW & Organic. Check it out here.

I'm not going to blog everyday because I don't want to feel stressed...but I'm excited, I lost 4 pounds in 1 day.

Challenges

OK SO apparently jumping into a raw diet when you ate crap before is a BAD idea... tooooo many toxins get released....which TOTALLY exhausts you and doesn't allow your brain to think clearly......

My friend Brandt says that cooked veggies are the prescription to slow down the detoxing....

Rawsome Shari says to honor your process, and make soup that has potatoes, carrots, celery, onions... get some potassium and just go with the flow. Your are correct flooding the body with toxins make one want to sleep, which most of do not do. tune in, slow down and love it! OK so veggie soup for lunch it was :)

Kinda sad my body would'nt allow me to do this, but I will take it slower and try again! BUT that does not mean I am giving up..... just slowing down. I am still a vegetarian... I watched Food INC and don't think I can ever go back to any meat, or even seafood again....

So for now I am a minimum of 50% raw and will work up to 100% again.... at least for a cleanse.... I admit I LOVE hot cooked soup... I don't know that I want to go my whole life without it.

On a positive note, I'm down 7 pounds the day after Christmas!

Tomorrow is a new day and I'm back to Bikram

SOOO Tired

Yesterday I was too exhausted to blog and today is not much better.... Im so tired. I dont feel sick, I feel like I just have no energy and maybe missing something in my diet...If anyone has ideas....PLEASE let me know! I would really appreciate it...

Day 6 of 100...

What a GREAT night!

I saw an advanced showing of "Its Complicated" Tonight with my friend Julia..... it was SOOOOOO funny! I Loved it, the funniest movie I have seen in a long time.... and I even snuck in my banana and kombucha in my purse..... AND I didn't even crave popcorn!

OK, So I was planning to start the MLIS cleanse today, but there is that planning thing again.... I did make some of the lemonade mix tonight after the movie to add to my raw diet and let me just say I'm LOVING IT!!!! So I have plenty for tomorrow... I dont know if I am ready to give up the raw foods and just go to juice though... hey its my plan..I can change it RIGHT? lol.... SO for now I am going to eat some raw foods and drink the mlis..



~Food Today~

D-2 cups Mlis lemonade mix and raw walnuts-man those were the best walnuts!

I am SOOO cold! which is not uncommon...hot bath here I come!

Day 7 Tomorrow :)

Day 5 of 100...... the precleanse :)

What is the saying fail to plan, and you will plan to fail? Well, I am SO human because I failed to plan today and now I'm STARVING! I'm eating my salad as I type...

I made my yummy citrus juice this morning and packed a banana and kombucha for a snack, and planned to go to whole foods for an organic salad at lunch but work was super busy and I didnt make time to go! So I ate an apple, and some more of the green drink I had at work.... but I wanted something more, like a LARGE beautiful salad, and I'm just now getting it because I had a class after work....

I have to say I am re-thinking this juice feast at the moment???? I definitely still want to do the 100 days, but just may do them raw with some juice and smoothies....

On the upside I had a TON of energy today and felt AMAZING ......other than the hunger that is :)

OK, on to day 6 tomorrow!
