Juicer

Still waiting for my Breville juicer to show up, so I stopped by Whole Foods juice bar again this morning. Today I had a spinach, carrot, & pineapple juice. So good! Then I grabbed a couple of nectarines for later.

Ate the pear because it looked like it wanted me too & some flax crackers are next. I kinda have munchies this morning. Wait, I really have the munchies.

Haven’t slept well the last two nights & it’s really effecting me today. I really want to go home & take a long nap. I have class tonight, so it will be another long day/night.

Dang it! I’m getting so bored with salads & I haven’t purchased any bulk nuts & seeds yet so I gave in to my nachos & jalapeno craving from Taco Bell. I feel so overwhelmed.

My mission this afternoon is to find a place to purchase seeds, nuts, & olives. Any tips or suggestions anyone???

 

Carrot Juice

Started my mornin out with an orange & carrot juice from the Whole Foods juice bar. I got a huge 32oz & have been chugging it all morning. Definitely keeping me satisfied & makes me think I could actually do juice in the mornings more often.

I’m so happy because just a week of eating raw during the day has helped me lose 4lbs! Sweet, huh? Makes me more motivated to continue on.

I am liking the raw till supper thing because I don’t feel deprived & for me that is always an issue when dieting. And I don’t want this to feel like a diet rather a healthier way of living. I always have cravings for random things so it’s been hard to hold out, but I can do this.

So mid-morning I had a banana. It was good & I’m surprised by how long I’ve made it. Yay!!!

Couldn’t get away from the office by lunchtime so I just ate a plum & have a pear that might get eaten next if I can’t leave soon. All in all today was great!

 

Weekends

Hmmm, the weekend was a bit tougher than I thought it would be to eat raw. My Vita-Mix broke. The piece that spins the blade broke, so we had to order a replacement part so smoothies were out. I ended up eating leftover pizza for breakfast.

Sunday I had fruit & some flax breakfast crips then lunch was the other half of my apple wrap.

I’m so having major cravings. Ugh! I don’t even like meat, but I can’t stop thinking about spaghetti & meatballs. I don’t even like meatballs! Soooo annoying. Got to find chip-french fry substitute.

 

Regular :)

Weird gross subject for starting out, but raw food rocks for making you “regular”! . This has been an issue for me on a consistent basis, but even after a few days I’m really noticing a difference!!! I’m sure you all wanted to know about that, but I think most of us are used to feeling bloated all the time. It’s NOT normal!!!

 

Raw Update

It’s been 4 days now since I started on my quest to eat raw during the day. I’m pretty proud of myself. I caved Tuesday on fries (my weakness). I’m trying not to say I can’t have something as I tend to then want it more, so that’s helped.
