Today is just great!
I was so full from yesterday's grazing around that I skipped breakfast - my body just told me "no no".
While shopping, I found a Durian and Thai Baby Coconut - these are now in season here, otherwise it's hard to get them. It took me a long time to find a decent Durian (some Thai friends instructed me how to select an okay one) and I couldn't wait to get home to try the spikey fruit.
Well, I came home, stored all the groceries and sat there with the Durian and the coconut.
Opening the Durian wasn't difficult at all - I had seen it in Alissa's film and it just tasted marvellous! So good and delicious! And the fruit wasn't stinking yet, just had a bit of a strong smell, but not enough to put me off apparently.
Anyways, then it was time for the coconut which I cut as seen on Alissa's DVD - that water was great and the meat so tender! Lovely!
I had a large mixed salad afterwards (iceberg, chopped carrot/onion/cuke) with a guacamole dressing with lots of garlic and cilantro. Afterwards some walnuts, I had a bit of a craving.
I probably ate a bit too much, I'm stuffed but not feeling terrible, just garlic-y. I enjoyed touching and opening the fruits and devouring everything.
I am going on a cleansing fast next Tuesday and will then do the 30 days RAW challenge. I don't know yet whether 100% raw is the right thing for me or maybe just 80 or whatever. What I know is that this forum, Alissa's book and DVD and Alissa's spirit are simply inspiring. Even if you don't go raw, you can still get so much inspiration for healthy eating!
I have a couple of other books (Cornbleet, Juliano, and three by the Boutenkos) and am waiting for some others to be delivered by amazon.de
It's a great experience and I enjoy it a lot!
