the bagel that shouldn't have

day 8 has ended with my having consumed a kettleman's bagel. not just a bite, i ate the entire bagel. not much to say after that. then all the cravings came...

thoughts for a new day

a week and a day

a full week raw! this is not as challenging as i thought it would be. beginning day 8 i am aware of a few things. eating in the morning is something my body needs at this point. i do not have a appetite or feel like eating in the morning. i now notice that the sluggish feeling i have is a sign that i am running on empty. the boxing episode has made me aware of what empty feels like. (btw i totally rocked last night at boxing)

planning is critical for me. it has helped immensely to have fruit, nuts and tea on hand. keep it simple is my mantra. i keep salad ready veggies prepared in the frig. a quick snack or meal is only minutes away.

smoothies are great. they help me to take in greens that I do not like raw. i have found that most times i just want plain whole foods (with a little miracle dressing).

i have not had cravings for sweets. the chocolate banana smoothie is filled with super foods and i mix that on boxing days..
