What a day! I slept well last night which helped, but still woke up irritable and frustrated. My smoothie for breakfast and lunch didn’t make it past 1030am. It was delicious and filled with nutrition, but I was starving and felt like my blood sugar was low all morning. I felt spacey, anxious and have not been the patient person I normally am. For lunch I ate 1 1/2 avocados and a banana and made my soup for dinner a little early to eat a bit of that too. I’ve lost some weight and that was not my goal in the first place, so I’m making sure to increase my fats to not lose any more. I’ve been having more warm water with raw honey through out the day and have started adding raw coconut butter to that. I have two more days until week 2 where I start rebuilding by adding in raw meals. I’m so excited for that and am going to stick this through. This has been so challenging physically and mentally and I’m ready for it to be over. I’ve come to the conclusion that a 100% Raw diet is not for me. At least not during the winter anyway. I believe in intuitive eating, and living in Maine I am really struggling with eating cooling foods from other countries. I promote local and seasonal eating so in many ways this just feels wrong. I believe that’s why I feel so out of touch with my body and just can’t think straight. I’ve been learning about a raw food diet for a long time now and know that it can be very healing, and even more important for people who are already sick with disease. I’m not giving up now, I will continue on this challenge that I have committed to. Tomorrow is a new day and I look forward to seeing what else this challenge will bring my way.
