Another Perfect Day

I feel better today! Eating all that fruit cured me, just like I knew it would. I also rested a lot yesterday and took a nap for 1.5 hours on and off (it's tough to nap when you've been eating nothing but fruit b/c you feel so high).

Went to the Farmer's Market this morning and got plums- I went to bed craving them, which is weird b/c I only had one plum my whole life, when I was about 6 years old!- grapes, mixed greens, red peppers and tons of tomatoes. Didn't need much else since I'm doing mainly fruit these days and lots of bananas. I went to run some other errands afterwards. I was in Trader Joe's picking up some carrots, OJ, cauliflower & the like and I was pretty hungry. But none of the old foods I used to eat even seemed like options to me. There was also a quiche they were sampling out and it didn't even seem like real food. I felt so free, free from all my former food addictions, free from grabbing the bread, vegan chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter, etc. b/c I WANTED it instead of because it made me feel alive, and most of all, free from the "system." I really feel like I'm cheating these days. Like I found a loophole. I don't have to eat "their" crap. I don't have to get weak and old and sick like "they" want me to. I don't have to give "them" my hard-earned money to "heal" me because their "healthy" foods and medicine made me sick. I feel so awake.

I'm also so happy to be a part of the raw foods movement, right now, when the movement is in its infancy. The things that us raw fooders do now are going to determine part of the future. I think we are really onto something here. I think raw foods is ahead of its time, but it'll all catch up when more and more people start opening their eyes and shaking off the haze of half-truths and lies that they've literally been fed since birth. I feel like a newborn right now, every path is wide open to me and the future is limitless. It's amazing. For the first time in my life, I feel like I am the one in control of my life. I still have so much to learn, and I always will. But I know that I don't have to play their game. I can live my life any way I choose.

Food Today:
-banana, then 2 frozen bananas made into banana ice cream (mmmm)
-a sample of a plum & fuji apple @ the Farmer's Market, then a smoothie (16 oz.) made w/ 2 bananas, strawberries, frozen mango & blueberries, and a splash of OJ
-chocolate coconut lara bar
*abs pilates & push-ups/tricep dips, 4 mile run* I am sooooo excited to get out and run!
-grapes- lots!
-salad w/ romaine, mixed greens, red & yellow peppers, carrots, cucs, cauliflower, tomatoes & raw ACV
-glass of organic red wine w/ the boy if I do end up going over

Or I may have dinner out w/ the boy, but it'll still be a salad & a glass of wine.

Another reason this day rocks: I'm currently wearing size 2 American Eagle jeans from way back when size 2 was actually a size 2, and these jeans haven't fit me in about 4 years! The last time I could fit into them, I'd been fasting on one apple a day every other day for like 2 weeks. I was killing myself with overexercising. I hated food and my body. Now, I'm eating everything I want. I'm working out b/c it feels great and I want to move my body. I love everything I eat and feel at peace with my body. And I'm effortlessly losing all the unnecessary body fat that I have to lose. Raw is so much more than just a "diet." It's a fulfilling & whole way of living. I am so thankful that raw found me, or I found raw, or whatever it was that happened. I'm so thankful I went against the grain and gave this a try. It's given me my LIFE back!
