Yesterday I was fluctuating between glorious enthusiasm and then sheer terror about my commitment of going raw for 90 days. I had to remind myself, it's just food! Perhaps lesson #1 for me in this whole thing.
I enjoyed a few of my "not raw naughties" last night as a parting gift to my self. Fresh homemade rolls right from the oven with vegan margarine, baked potato with more margarine, corn on the cob, with more margarine, fresh strawberries and store bought chocolate for dessert. Yum. Needless to say I went to bed VERRY happy.
I had read from one of my raw foodies, about the cleansing properties of a watermelon fast. So, this is how I decided to start, a 24-hour watermelon fast. I managed fairly well, other than a slight headache most of the day, probably from no coffee. I also struggled with tiredness, and found it hard to concentrate. A small wave of disappointment came when I started wondering what I would fix for dinner tonight. I think I have had enough of that for one day, also enough thinking about feelings and situations in my life, what does it all mean, why is there struggle, why can't I find that satisfying perception of my life today. I will retire early.... bringing David Wolfe and Gabrielle Cousens to bed with me before I nod off. I am assured that I will wake up refreshed and ready to begin a new day.
Today's food consumption:
a lot of watermelon
