Day 5

Rate this Entry
I haven't been 100%, I'd say 98% yesterday and today. I've lost 3 lbs already! I know if I start exercising it'll come off more. I'm not looking to drop too much too fast, though. I know that's not the way to go and just keep a steady pace. But why did I allow that tiny bit of cooked food in my body just now? I'm already tired! I can feel crankiness seeping in. *sigh* No more. I just can't feel like this any longer. It's not fair to me or my family.

My DH and I met up with one of his friends yesterday for dinner. I mentioned how I'm going raw and he was rather interested in it. I haven't told anyone but my DH and my oldest son who is 9. I don't feel like it's anyone's business and I'm not ready for negative personal feedback on how they *just know* they could never go raw. *rolls eyes* I can already hear MIL when they come spend the weekend with us next week!

ANYWAY. When talking to our friend yesterday, he seemed really interested. He seems like he's finally in a more positive place in his life. He's been pretty down the last 4-5 years and has gained a lot of weight. I told him if he wanted to come over this weekend, I'd plan a 100% raw dinner. He's game! I think I'll make the Carrot Pecan burgers because I haven't tried them yet. Chocolate Chip cookies sound pretty good as well.

OH! The other night I made spaghetti for dinner for my family. I didn't eat any. Instead I ate Banana Macadamia Nut Fudge Cookies! LOL I felt silly saying that's what I was having for dinner. Fudge cookies? For dinner? I didn't eat much because they are SO filling! I did eat a nice salad a bit later on just so I didn't feel like I did something naughty. lol
