Day 9 Well!

Rate this Entry
I was having one of the most miserable days and I come on here and see this wonderful community of support and I just am totally feeling the love and the raw vibe

Yesterday was my birthday and I did end up having my favorite Thai food dish. I enjoyed it...didn't feel guilty, mostly, lol...made sure there was no left overs even though I was stuffed. I made myself a raw vegan key lime pie.

I gained back 2 of my first weeks 5 pounds that I lost, one from just being quite high fat/gourmet and 1 probably from the Thai eating and birthday eating/gourmet raw.

I am really struggling with schoolwork in that I hate writing papers and school in general lately. Like I actually resent it, lol! Terrible...but I just want to run and play and exercise and read fascinating books and so on...but I am almost done it now...the dreary distance ed portion of it and look forward to doing placements in the upcoming bridging program, which I Better get accepted to. (social work in case you're wondering)

Anyways...today.

Today I had:

A banana-choc smoothie, which being a former chocoholic, this has really been a nice buffer, I don't feel the need to run out and eat a chocolate bar but it's not much chocolate either so I don't feel like I'm running an addiction.

Lunch: Some flaxy type crackers with avo and tomato and s&p. I eat this a lot too but would like to switch it to a salad maybe...or something. I also had a piece of my key lime pie...am getting sick of the high fat thing though, lol. I need some juicy stuff!

I'm still trying to find a rhythm...but I think I'm ready to because I don't feel like I am just eating everything in sight raw, just to stay raw...like I'm ready to take it to a level that is more 'normal'....but just not sure what my normal is yet?

Supper: An apple. A very salty, too salty dill veggie dip thing I made out of sunflower seeds, with some greens (mache -a really nice green!) and celery sticks.

I also had maple syrup, the real stuff, straight up. What is that about? I was experiencing a low...what can I say.

I think it was a fairly hard day because of the weight gain and having cooked yesterday, but I did stay raw...well I know maple syrup isn't technically raw but is on the master cleanse so that's how I rationalize it.

Cheers guys,

    HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!! It sounds like you enjoyed your day and I'm happy to hear that!! I'm with monk, don't worry about the weight, it'll balance itself back out.

    I can relate to the school work, though mine is paperwork from work. Unfortunately I have one of those paperwork laden type careers, but some days it's more cumbersome than others.

    But I'm sending you lots of positive energy, love and "kick butt" determination. You're fabulous, keep RAWking chica!

    So glad you were able to pull it back on path so easily. Hey, I can think of a lot worse things than Maple Syrup! LOL Keep up the good work and those extra 2 pounds will be gone again, as quick as they came.
