15 Days 100% Raw

Rate this Entry
It is good to know that every day that I am 100% raw is the longest I have been raw. Holidays are difficult and the wonderful smells at yesterdays dinner were tempting but, not so bad that I started to obsess over the food. It really helps to be doing this with someone else. I know that if I didn't have Jen it would be so much easier to give into the desire to eat the cooked food.

It was a bit disappointing to get on the scale this morning. I have only lost 2 lbs in the last week and none since Thursday. I was expecting the slow down but, still hoping for 3-4 lbs a week. I'll have to really start focusing on the exercise to help rev up the metabolism.

I am finding it a bit easier to stay raw than I thought it would be this time around. I can't be arrogant and think I have my cravings licked though. I have read plenty of stories of people who, even 100% raw for a year, caved and then went back to eating SAD food all the time (SAD stands for Standard American Diet). In my mind, I haven't really thought about staying raw after this 90 day challenge. I mean I have thought I would stay mostly raw but, still eat some cooked food. I guess I have plenty of time to start working that out when the time comes. We do still have 2 more months to go.

I want to write more posts this week if I have time. I have a couple of topics I want to address one being my changing view of food.

Have a great raw day Jen. I can believe you are on day 29 of 100% raw!
