Spent the day on the road and certainly did not eat as well as I should. I only ate once, but when I did…it was Chinese food, and way too much of it. Tasty yes, but very unhealthily. I console myself a little when I remember that the old me would have went for a Chinese buffet rather than a single serve joint like the one we went to but it was still unplanned and thus against the rules.
After the Chinese, I figured all was lost for the day and suggested we stopped for ice cream. In a moment of weakness, I ordered the largest size of hard-serve they had and dove in. The only good thing about it was that a few bites into the cream, I stopped, shoved it away, and ended up throwing five dollars worth of Cold Stone in the trash.
Today’s exercise went great. That was the one good thing I did today. I’m thinking more and more of committing to “going raw” for at least 7 days. I don’t want to promise that which I cannot perform so I will have to think it over a bit more before pledging to do it. I’ll keep you posted.

Great job! I'm curious why you say chinese is unhealthy? Isn't it mostly veggies?
ReplyDeleteI don't know about you, but I've been told not to waste food since I was little and to clean up my plate. It is hard for me to throw food away, but I have gotten so I can do it. It's the five dollars for the ice cream in the garbage now, or fifty dollars for a trip to the doctor later. I also like to say the food I throw away "isn't going to WAIST." My waist, that is.
You can definitely do raw for a week. You will probably still have cravings for the cooked food you are used to, but if you have a good variety of raw food on hand, it can be very satisfying.
