Just another raw Texan

Closer to a fruitarian because of my unpredictable, bachelor lifestyle.

  1. Horrible Times

    I've been having a horrible time lately. Just been raw in the morning and SAD at night. Very depressed lately. Uncontrollable really. The worst happened when I was drinking a beer and a tiny bug (I've never seen this kind of bug before) flew onto my arm and I tried to slap it with my left hand. My right arm reacted and spilled some of my libation onto my very own Apple PowerBook and thoroughly killed my poor laptop. Since I do my graphic design on the laptop, I'm out of work until I can replace ...

  2. The Today Show

    The Today Show was on while I was making a green smoothy and they were talking about food. Their expert said that you get more nutrients when you cook your vegetables than when you eat it raw. They said that the raw food diet was a fad and that hamburgers and corn with butter were healthy foods. I just loath every aspect of the mainstream media.

    Variety is the spice of life. Especially when eating raw.

  3. I gained 2 pounds

    Even though I had a couple of slip-ups. I've managed to gain 2 pounds in the last few weeks. My brother told me that I looked bigger.

    I learned that my local HEB market has cheaper organic produce than the Whole Foods that I've been going to. Health food stores are so overrated. They even had organic celery while WF stopped selling them a while ago. Happy.

    I watched every episode of Firefly and then Serenity, the feature film. So good, I never really knew.

    I've been having an emotional week. Still 100%. Still working out in the morning doing crunches and push-ups. I haven't gained any weight or lost any, either...but I'm only 10 days in.

    Another goal would be to see this through to the end of the month. Will I be the same? Will I notice a difference?

    9 days of being 100%. Amazing. I think yesterday's cravings came more from wanting to be comforted. Been feeling depressed lately. Feeling past my time. Feeling isolated. Feeling like a waste. I want to confront these things rather than mask them or avoid them.
