30-Day Challenge

6:30am

Good morning, day 10!!!

Slept about 30 extra minutes this morning. The cats were both snuggled up against me and it was just too warm and cuddly under there to get up at 5:30. The weather appears to be pretty dreary out too so maybe that was part of it.

I tried oil pulling this morning with EVOO. It wasn't disgusting but it was certainly strange. I found it very rewarding when, after 15 min. I spit it out and it was exactly as the sites all ...

I'm a little flustered this morning that, at day 9 I have, not only not released any weight but I've also gained a pound. What the heck??? I'm not eating too many fats like nuts, oils or avocados especially in comparison to what I ate on SAD so that's not the problem. Urrgh.

I'm thinking ...

Good morning, day 7!!! Today will be my first really real day out of the house and 100% raw. I went out once earlier in the week but I was at the health food store and juice bar so I was able to get a good raw salad.

Today after church we'll be hitting up the farmer's market :::WOOHOO:::, BJ's and probably some sort of restaurant. I'm planning to pack a few things just in case.

So far I've discovered a couple of things; first, if I let myself get absolutely ...

I've been 100% Raw for 6 days now and I'm so proud of myself. I'm eating whatever I want whenever I want it at this point and learning to prepare a lot of different recipes so I have a good base to work with when hunger strikes.

This morning I was absolutely ravenous. I think it was more that I was missing that "full" feeling.

Last night, I think, was the hardest thing so far. DH ordered from Season's Pizza and the smells were really making me crave ...
