We went to Missouri/Kansas last week to visit a college for our 17 year old daughter and to see my Dad in Kansas. My scale was up a little more than 3 pounds when I got home from all the junk I ate on the road. The hotel only had bananas the first two days I was there, so even my healthy breakfast got shut down after 2 days.
We got home at 4am on Wednesday morning and by Friday morning I had lost every thing I had gained. I ate raw all day on Wednesday, Thursday was all raw except for the canned organic garbanzo beans I used to make hummus and I also had an ezekiel sprouted grain tortilla.
Friday I ate awesome all day until I got home. I did binge on cooked foods (ice cream, 1 pinwheel cinamon roll, a honeybun, 3 slices of veggie pan pizza from pizza and breadsticks and sauce) - yeah I know awful of me........not sure why. I'm sure it has something to do with me giving up stuff and it's just something I have to work through.
My 17 year old daughter and I are going out for a Mom/Daughter day today. We were looking for someplace to go for lunch and most of the ideas she was coming up with had nothing remotely healthy. We decided on the Cheesecake factory and even though I'm going to have the Thai lettuce wraps, most of it is wraw - I will have the chicken because like I have said before I'm not a vegeterian yet, so it's something I'm working on. But I won't have the noodles and will get double cucumbers. I think mostly it will be raw, with just a few pieces of meat.
Progress is happening, like the weight coming off so quickly. I feel different already even by just increasing my raw foods. I know Alissa says to go 100% and not ease into it - This will work for me if it's meant to be. I'm open to eating this way and I eat pretty healthy anyway. I'm so excited that I see and feel some differences already. It gives me so much to look forward too.
Now I'm off to go find a raw snack to hold me over till we eat at Cheesecake factory. I haven't eaten all day because I woke up so late. Making up for the lack of sleep on our drive back. Not getting home till 4am and getting up for work at 7am that morning really threw me off all week.
