Day 7

Rate this Entry
Had a rough day yesterday and didn't go juice alone as planned. Probably trying it on a holiday weekend was not a good idea, as I really wanted to be in a better space about it. I may try for tomorrow to start. I also wanted to do a 4 day fast every month during my moontime, which is now, so I will catch the end of it.

We had Easter here today. We aren't religious, so its just a family party day really. But...lots of goodies. I am thinking jelly beans aren't raw... had a few of those. But, I did well the rest of the day...some juices, 2 salads and I am really not that hungry now, but I may have some veggies with mock nacho cheese later.

I am finding my biggest challenge with being 'totally' raw is I am a taste-tester! When I make something for my kids, especially something new, I taste it...often without even thinking. Granted, we eat very healthy foods and I make almost everything from scratch, but its cooked. I guess his is another thing for me to look at. When I make a 'mistake' my immediate reaction is to beat myself up over it, instead of just letting it go or not caring. Its not like I am tasting a hot dog I just made, its healthful wholesome food I made from scratch, for crying out loud! I have that tendancy to go 'all or nothing' and do not cut myself any slack. I need to take a look at that...

My back is feeling better, though not 100%. I need to keep up with my PT exercises. I did run today, a little longer than I was and felt great.

Today I ate:
32oz water
grapefruit juice
salad
jelly beans
salad
more grapefruit juice

    Domestic Goddess (by the way, love the name) I'm here cheering you on. We are so alike in that I'm a all or nothing girl too. Geesh! It drives me nuts!!!

    From one all or nothing girl to the other I just have to say you are doing awesome, and yes, don't beat yourself up for the little taste tests. If I had children I'd want to taste what I was giving them as well, and if it's healthy I'd absolutely do it without guilt.

    Wishing you all the best!
