So I've started a 7 day raw food cleanse. Body Enlightenment
I'm supposed to journal before I start, but this is the end of Day 1 and I figure I'd better get some journaling done before I move to day 2. I was supposed to start yesterday, but with being on call and getting hammered, I was not as prepared as I would have liked, I didn't get all the materials read, no shopping done either. I stayed up last night and did the reading. Today started with a smoothie, come mid afternoon, I was famished with nothing raw in the house. Dave bought some stuff for black bean salad so when we did go out for supplies we weren't shopping hungry. I have chosen to follow the raw menu plan as the recipes look easier.
My desire for this week is to feel better, by eating better. I know that isn't a quantifiable goal. After the 3 day cleanse a few weeks ago, I realized a smoothie would sustain me and I became aware of hunger and eating for hunger. ( I still ate emotionally and conveniently but was aware of my body's signals.) So for this one, I anticipate learning more recipes for smoothies instead of the same few variations that I make, I expect I will have to force myself to do the exercise portion, much more than the food choices. I re-read some of the workbooks tonight and get to allow myself to adapt to raw foods by eating more often if necessary. That was a relief! Maybe I should read it all again, when I am awake and alert.
Tomorrow is a whole new day. Hopefully it will go better.
Today, one green smoothie and a bowl of black bean salad.... not enough. No exercise.
10:00 pm Tired and heading to bed.
