Mmmmmm food!

Yup, dinner!

Curry falafels, mango salsa and salad with the juice from the mango salsa! All raw! The only thing is I likely reek of garlic. Everything I make seems to have quite a bit in it... hmmm. I guess that is really only an issue if I was to go on a date... ha ha ha.

WHAT'S NEW

Pixie Says Worth Less = Worthless

That's not what I believe. Of course. But it's hard not to draw that conclusion from today's newspapers in the UK.

snadzmatazz Today I almost quit.

Viki Ackland Online vs Reality

It is funny how some people have their own personalities online, which appear to be the opposite of their real lives.

Day 7 and 93 more to go!

I'm on day 7 of the 100 day raw fast! From here on in I may not post every day but at least a few times a week. Just to show my progress. I'm afraid if I post daily they will be the same boring repeats. I don't ever want to bore anyone. It's another dreary day out and a bit cold! I was considering a walk but, am going to stay in work out, write and read. Hurry UP spring!

One great thing about raw is it cleans you out! I am going to have the cleanest colon in town!!! People don't like talking about poo, but it is a big part of our bodies! So there!

Weight today = no change (I would think I'd have lost a bit again and am a bit, hmmmm, need to figure out what's going on)
total lost = 2.2lbs

I'm also LOVING my wii. I found in the used bin at a games store a copy of My Personal Fitness trainer. I was getting a bit bored with the wii Fit program. I'd reached all the highest levels and needed something else to challenge me. This program really is!!! I have only been doing the 15 minute work outs because I needed to figure out how it worked. Starting Wednesday (the program has a schedule for me and tomorrow is my off day) I am pushing it up to 30 minutes.

I'm really craving coffee today. In a I can't sit still and I want to go make some now way! I have to keep talking myself out of it!

Raw Food I've been eating

I meant to post last nights dinner yesterday, but will do that now along with tonights dinner.

last night was a monster salad, with a raw curry falafel and raw faux bacon crumbled on top, with sunflower sprouts, broccoli sprouts, onion and mushroom on baby spinach. The dressing is tahini. Dessert was raw apple cookies.



Tonight's dinners is a raw BLT. I dehydrated onion bread and faux raw bacon and made raw mayo. The salad is spinich with tahini dressing, tomatoes and mushrooms. And tonight's dessert is raw apple cookies! This is how I've been eating for the last 6 days and will be for the next 94. It looks like a lot of work but if you dehydrate a bunch of stuff one day a week, it will last for a week or so.

Day 6 I hate rain but it's better than snow

I wanted to go for a long walk today. I am needing to get a lot of work done but when writing it helps clear my head. I've been in a crappy mood for over a week now. Not because of the fast or change in diet, but for many other reasons. I've been pretending to be in a good mood, but realized it isn't doing me any good. One of the things is I'm loosing patience with humans. I wish people would see me for who I am instead of what they can get from me. By fasting and doing the raw challenge I am physically removing negative things from my body and need to be more vigilant in doing the same with people.

A few months ago I started purging people that were treating me in a negative way. To be effective though I need to keep all negative aspects out. This is a very daunting task but one that needs to be done. I do all these things to keep my body healthy but I'm not working hard enough to keep my mind and spirit healthy and that needs to be an equal priority to a healthy body.

I woke up this morning not wanting to get out of bed. I love dreary days, I know that sounds strange, but it puts me in the right mood for writing. What I want right now is a kick ass thunderstorm.

Day 6 I do feel physically good. I am going to resume working out tomorrow though am likely going to do yoga tonight. I am still browsing recipes, as I don't want to ever get bored with what I'm eating. I've dehydrated all the ingredients for a raw vegan BLT and am going to have that and salad for dinner :)

weight loss today - no change (I know that the loss will take time and the initial 2.2lbs was from the fast. I remember the first time I did raw it took about a week for my body to adjust and once it did I started losing weight)

total weight loss = -2.2lbs

Day 5 and fight with another ritual

It is Saturday morning. My normal ritual is to sit with a cup of coffee and read through the paper. This will be the first Saturday in a long time that I will be reading the paper with out one. Instead I am going to pour a green smoothie into a large coffee cup and read the Sunday funnies.

Every day I'm trying something new, to keep it interesting. Today I started adding beat to my juice. Damn it was yummy! Last night I had dehydrated apple cookies that I made. I also just dehydrated raw veggie bacon and once the onion bread is done I want to try a raw blt. The only thing is I may have made the onion bread too thin :(. It is easy enough to make another batch.

After I finish my paper, I'm going out for a walk. It's a gorgeous day out!!!

Weight loss today - no change
Total - -2.2lbs

Day 4 here I come!

The sun is out, I woke up with out a head ache and did I mention the sun is out! It actually felt like spring this morning when I took the pups out for their morning walk.

One thing fasting does to me is it makes me do a lot of thinking. Maybe even too much and I tend to have a lot of very odd dreams. I had one about my ex last night. He is french Canadian (in real life) and in the dream was berating me in french. I woke up feeling bad this morning, as if I had been scolded for real. The relationship itself ended badly and he is one of the main reasons I have little trust in men these days. What is it they say about one bad apple.

Moving on...

Today I get to have food!!! I am not going over board though, I am starting off with juice, then a bowl of fruit. My lunch will likely be a smoothie and some nuts and dried fruit. And dinner a large salad. I may stick with this menu for a few days, then gradually add in different things for dinner. I was going to resume working out today, but I think I will wait one more day. I'm just coming off the fast and don't want to push it.

It is suppose to be up to 11 degrees today. I am hoping that is stays warm, later I am taking my dog to the veg for yet another check up on his eye. I am sure he is getting sick of the vet. I know my credit card is!
