So, yesterday..
I fell off the wagon. It was rainy and cold and by-gum-it, I wanted cooked food. I had a vegetarian flat bread pizza for lunch. Let me tell you - I felt like CRAP. The bread was this horrid ball of glue in my stomach and I hated it. I felt sick for the entire afternoon. Last night, I ate a big bowl of cherries then waited for about an hour and ate a salad. I felt fantastic after getting vibrant, fresh, raw food into my system. Lesson learned!
Today, I had a *much* better day. I ordered the 80-10-10 Diet by Dr. Douglas Graham yesterday, and I am anxiously awaiting its arrival at my home. Until then, I shall wallow in the glory of my avocados. (I promise, Ash, I will cut back.)
For breakfast, I had two yummy oranges. I had a bit of a headache (probably because that big, nasty ball of bread glue was in my intestines and I hadn't gone #2 in a bit), so I lounged in bed for a bit with a bag of ice against my neck. You know, it's really interesting to me how much can be treated WITHOUT medicine. Time, rest, heat/cold, and healthy living - that's the most important. I read an article yesterday that there are actually placebo pills on the market (called Obecalp, which is Placebo spelled backwards) that mothers can give to children when they want them to stop whining about this, that, or the other thing hurting. People are actually teaching their children that the way to treat all symptoms, real or imaginary, is to pop a pill. Blegh.
Oh yes, my oranges.

I got Ester up and dressed for her bio visit with her dad, then went to the store. I really, really love how I spend the majority of my time in the produce aisle. I used to just rush past it, if I stopped at all. WOW. Isn't that awesome?!
I had to work my dorky job and take peoples assists about their text-based clothing not fitting in the right slots. (Don't ask.) While I did this, I had a friggin' huge snack of pineapple.
Pineapple - 526 grams, 252.5 calories, .6 grams fat, 2.8 grams protein
When I came home, I had a really awesome lunch of watermelon. It felt really, really good to flush out my system.

I find that when I stick to fruit for my breakfast, lunch, and midafternoon snack, I have WAY MUCH MORE ENERGY. Usually, I get really sluggish after lunch and need an hour or two nap. Not this time! What made it more amazing was that it was friggin' hot today. 99! Us white New England folks were melting. After lunch, I took Ester and Aileen to the store and got them new shoes. Ester, of course, picked the ones that had the most lights to light up and the shiniest butterflies. Aileen, of course, picked sandals that had 094590 inch wedges in the heel to make it look like she is remotely tall. Ha.
We came home, and Jeremy prepared them a lovely meal of..hotdogs. Ugh. I hate that they are even in my house, but, at the same time, I don't want to be psychotic over their choices. After all, it is -their- choice. Still, the smell of hotdogs permeating the house was enough to make me want to bury my head in my lilac-scented sheets.
I made a meal of my omgfavorite wrap. While I do love this wrap, I can't wait until I use the last one tomorrow. Like I said previously, I hate wasting but it's hard to eat all of them by yourself!
OMGFAVORITE wrap:
Ezekiel Bread Tortilla - 57 grams, 85 calories, 2 grams fat, 3.4 grams protein
Spinach - 22 grams, 5.1 calories, .1 gram fat, .6 grams protein
Tomatoes - 150 grams, 27 calories, .3 grams fat, 1.3 grams protein
Avocado - 120 grams, 192 calories, 17.6 grams fat, 2.4 grams protein
A dash of red pepper to taste! Mmm.
Tonight, I tried to watch The Assassination of Jesse James. I incorrectly assumed that because it had Brad Pitt, it would be quality. I don't think I made it past the first 30 minutes. It made me so sad because I really, really like Brad Pitt and I think he's an uber actor. I popped in Casino Royale, which was slightly better but meh. I'm turning into a movie snob. You know, after watching and rewatching every episode of Firefly, I just have such a snotty standard for dialogue and plot development. Brown Coats forever, raaaaah!
Totals - 948 calories, 22 grams fat, 18 grams protein
My weight today was 254.5, which is 1.5 pounds down from Thursday. Go me!

ah the cooked food urges took you in, huh!?
It's okay. At least you know how it makes you feel now.
I have been so tempted lately --- my mom decides to make cookies and breads and stuff for my bro, and the aroma spreads throughout the house... I often have to leave and go to the grocery store or something so that I don't get too tempted!
Even when I was camping this weekend I was tempted - my friends would make really good looking sandwhiches and stuff, ahhh, but then i just pulled out my book and it helped.
I am so excited that you got the book, you will be thinking, "OMG, this makes TOTAL sense"
and you will probably wish more people knew about it! =)
and as far as avocados go, I totally feel your pain on cutting down. It can be hard, but you can do it!!! Think of them as a treat... its like the treat for raw vegans...
keep up the hard work, I am proud of you! It really helps to read your page since we became raw at nearly the same time... same struggles and stuff!!!
