Today was great

Rate this Entry
Yesterday, I also made little candies with coconut oil, honey, and raw cacao and spinkled dehydrated coconut shaves and crushed raw cashews over the top of them. Helps my candy cravings. Yesssss! I also mixed some honey and cacao and dipped a banana in it. Easy. I have felt very satisfied all day.

So for documenting my progress:
Before today:
I have been feeling VERY tired. Emotionally drained. I've been bloated up like a balloon. I've been less postitive than usual. I've felt shitty and guilty about what I have been eating. My skin has been oily and has had some breaking out going on (but I have really super clear skin naturally). My eyes are foggy and red. I've had much less self-worth since I have been treating my body badly, and it sucks because I live here!
I was down to 152 lbs, but now I'm back up at 160 after the last month of junk food. Dang it. It's alright though, I can do this. My goal weight is somewhere between 140 and 145. But it's really not about the weight to me. I felt so wonderful before, I just want to treat my body like that again. It's so much more pleasant to be me when I feel good!! Whoodathunkit?

So today:
100% raw, like I said before, raw oatmeal and banana for breakfast, the raw pasta from the last post for lunch. Then Adriel and I snuck raw almonds and dried fruit and raw orange juice into the movie theater. Haha! We munched healthily and saw Sweeny Todd (and it was awesome ). Got back home, snacked a little on dried fruit, grazed on a little more pasta, drank water. Then a little later and had the banana and cacao. oooooeeee. Delicious.
So it's only the first day, I didn't have any trouble, but I am still bloated and was more tired than usual (winter... ) BMs were nice and healthy though. I definately feel much better in my head already because of making the choice to go back to this healthier state. I'm excited!
