First Day Eating All Raw
Posted on December 12th, 2007 by January HarsheOK, I’m going to be honest. I was hungry today. However, it felt good. I’m getting in tune with my body again. I am realizing when I’m hungry and getting full. When I was hungry, I ate a raw snack. You know, not only am I feeling better physically, but it’s mental too. Knowing I’m putting good food into my body just feels good. It increases mood and self esteem, that in turn makes a person sexier!
I Am What I Eat (and now I am ALIVE!):
Green Smoothie made in the Vitamix. An orange, a banana, an o. apple, raspberries, spinach leaves and frozen o. blueberries. The flavor was great, but the apple made it too sludgy. I need juicier fruits. I’m going to go to Costco and buying a ton of oranges and grapes!
2 slices of an o. apple
Small bowl of pumpkin seed, sprouted sesame seeds, and sprouted fenugreek. I mixed it with Bragg’s dressing and scarfed it.
Green Smoothie, this time consisting of an orange, a lemon, a banana, spinach leaves and o. dandelion. This was good!
A small avocado sliced, a large handful of grape tomatoes cut in half, pumpkin seeds, mixed in Bragg’s dressing. So yummy!
Snacked on a few dried apricots and a handful of o. baby carrots.
OK, I’m now I’m hungry! So I had a Cinnamon Roll Larabar.
Clementine
Dinner was a huge salad. I started with o. spinach leaves and topped it with sliced cucumber, o. carrots, o. radish, sunflower seeds, and a variety of sprouts. I of course used my Bragg’s dressing and loved every bite. Also, I made home made hummus (in the Vitamix of course) and dipped veggies in it. I want to get a dehydrator to make homemade breads/crackers. It’s all good though. I didn’t eat this because it’s now raw. The beans are "prepared" and the tahini was roasted. Bummer. I can’t wait to try a raw hummus though!
Few bites of my son’s o. red delicious apple.
Synergy Kombucha (to keep from wanting snacks)
I drank a lot more water today and will continue to focus on this. I want my organs and cells to be nourished so they can get rid of crap and fat!
Did I Exercise Today?
Nope. I have a new plan here though. I am going to wake up Monday thru Friday at 6 am and go on a walk by myself (or take a kiddo if they are awake). Saturday Brandon and I will walk together. Sunday I am resting.
I’ll be taking the I-Pod, b/c this is the one chance I will get to listen to audio books or music my kids can’t hear (depends on my mood).
Overall and Tomorrow’s Goals:
How can I not feel good. This stuff really does satisfy the taste buds, mind and body! Watch me melt away and glow! Tomorrow’s goals are to do what I did today and add in the exercise!
Note to self: I need to start taking pictures of what I’m actually eating!
