I made it through the 1st 3 days of my 30-day raw challenge, so far so good. I almost caved this morning. A bit of marital discord and a wicked headache this morning almost led me to a latte. I’d typically self-soothe with a treat in this type of situation. Especially when I’m running late and feeling stressed out. I managed to talk myself out of my usual habit. I said, “Laura, it takes as much time to make a smoothie as it does to stop at Starbucks on the way to work.”
So I made a smoothie. Go me!
And everything else I ate today was raw. I’m having a bit more of the fatty nutty stuff than ideal, but not excessive. I’m not feeling much change, either for good or ill. Yet. I wish I could be one of those lucky folk that have immediate and dramatic changes from eating raw. Given that I already eat a lot of raw, it makes sense that I wouldn’t see much change right away. I need to be patient and, this is critical, persistent.
It does seem like my joint and tendon pain are a little bit better. And I’ve lost almost 3 lbs. That’s a normal weight fluctuation for me though. I can’t claim a scientific cause and effect from the diet.
