It's hard to believe that 3 months have gone by on this fabulous journey. Since my last post I did the Master Cleanse for 10 days-It was really great. I recommend it to those who want to cleanse naturally. I had to stop on the 10th day-my body was ready. The Master Cleanse allows one to really examine their relationship with food. I found that my connection with food is emotional and ritualistic. It is really difficult to be at a professional sporting event and not eat the 'traditional foods' one used to partake in. I don't recommend doing the MC and attending a major sporting event.
Also since my last post I have lost pounds and inches. I am within 19lbs of my goal weight and I feel great. Others are really noticing the change in my body and face. I am really happy with living raw-I will admit that I had COOKED food in the last 2 days. Dreaded rice in a veggie burrito.
I bought another RAW cookbook RAWVolution by Matt Amsden. I love to cook, uh, uncook. I am now planning to stick to simple raw since it's spring and there are many choices for fresh fruits and veggies. I am in CA so there are many farmers markets to get organic produce at inexpensive prices. For example in the grocery store I pay $3.99 for a bag of lemons. At the farmers market I pay $1.00 for a bag of organic, locally grown lemons. The drawback is the farmers market is only available on Thursdays in the am while I am at work. My DH has been sweet enough to shop for me.
The most positive effects of living raw has to be the feeling of "well being". Like most others I lead a very stressful life. I am by nature 'laid back', the raw lifestyle helps me to stay focused and calm among the storms.
Current goal: 100% raw
Today-80% RAW
