Georgina's Raw Journey

On the Eve of Month 5

Rate this Entry
I'd like to say that I feel amazing and over-all I do really but the last few days I have felt really rough. I think I can put it down to having tried to make Essene bread with sprouted wheat and also I have been using unpasteurised Miso in dressings and I think that the amount that I have been using has been too much. The soy has affected my hormones and sent me off kilter. I should try to use miso very seldom and consider it a treat until I just don't eat it any longer. I think that the wheat has also been an issue which is a shame because I was looking forward to an alternative bread and this isn't it even though the grains are sprouted.

On the plus side I feel generally a lot better even though I don't feel as good today as I have done in the last 4 months. I have lost 50 pounds in weight and plunged down myriad dress sizes. I am much fitter thanks to hooping and cycling and some walking.

I do feel a little vulnerable raw-wise at the moment. I need to be on my guard and be kind to myself - and remember that being kind does not involve listening to Monkey-Mind. I had a dream last night that I ate a piece of meat. As soon as it was in my mouth I spat it out. I ate it because I wasn't thinking about what I was eating. I woke up feeling strange!

Today I am having a fruit day I think. At least to start with. I thought about packing a salad lunch but I just didn't feel like facing it!

    today I have not been 100% raw or 100% vegan.

    Tomorrow I will hop back on the bus - actually I have already hopped back on the bus.

    Well, it might not sound like much encouragement coming from me (given my own issues), but I'm cheering for you to hang in there. We all hit stumbling blocks and give in to urges at times.. the main goal is to be in it for the long haul. I know you have the determination to stick to anything you set your mind to!

    thank you :)

    I feel quite strong again this evening and I didn't give in to rubbish like KFC or chocolate fudge bars!
