Day 7!

I can't determine whether or not my sleepiness when I come home from work is tied to detox or simply because I'm starting to synch up with my boyfriend who goes to bed early and wakes up at 2:30 am to go to work! I come home, eat dinner and then hit an absolute wall. I have no desire to work out in the late afternoon or evening either.

Survey says: I've lost a little under a pound a day since going raw!

I'm down from 156 to 150.5. My pants fit more loosely and I wake up feeling lithe and healthy.

My hangover-like symptoms have gone, or at least that have yesterday. My nose is still running and my eye encrustations are pretty intense lately, though.

- Serious eye encrustations
- Headache
- Diarrhea

My energy is good though and if my body is purging toxins, bring it!

Breakfast:
Banana/almond milk smoothie
1 pear
1 white grapefruit

also, down another pound!

I'm sitting here munching on a bowl of chopped up mangos, pears and bananas with a mint, basil and almond milk cream sauce. Also pecans and a sprinkling of raw wheat germ for garnish. I'm amazed at how nourished I feel-- especially since quitting cooked foods and meat/animal products cold turkey!

Today I've barely felt thirsty. Usually I'm in a constant state of thirst. I used to ignore it, in the last month or so I've been drinking water like crazy. I've also felt satisfied most ...
