I'm feeling ethereal...


That's what I feel like today, a fairy buzzing around a flower. Soft & glowing. I love eating so close to the Earth, it makes me feel like all my senses are heightened. Like instead of picking up my boss's suits on Rodeo Drive, I should be crouched in a forest hiding from a jaguar or something. Yeah, I'm officially a weirdo.

My skin is also looking really amazing and is SO soft. I just feel really at home in my body, which, believe me, isn't something I am used to feeling! I feel at peace with myself. Thank you, raw fruits & veggies. I want to scream from the mountaintops, "EAT RAW!!!" but probably no one would listen anyway. It's hard not to tell everyone about this great way of eating, but they have to learn for themselves in their own time, just like I did and so many others have done before me!

I had pretty bad dizzy spells yesterday afternoon & I think I'm probably eating too little. So I tried my best to eat more today, although it wasn't very comfortable.

-smoothie w/ 2 bananas, strawberries, frozen mango & blueberries, oj (this is big- about 410 calories by my estimates)
-grapes & banana
-2 c. oj and 2 bananas
*35-40 min. walk*
-apple & banana
-handful of carrots w/ raw hummus (wasn't supposed to eat fat today but i felt like my body needed a little something extra before my run)
*3 mile run...i almost froze to death!*
-salad w/ 2.5 heads of romaine lettuce, carrots, red & yellow peppers, 1.5 tomatoes, lots of cucumber slices, cauliflower, & raw ACV

I estimate that to be about 1450 calories, which is better than I've been doing. I just don't seem to need many calories on a raw diet, but I think it's good to make myself eat more once a week or so to keep my metabolism going.

I really really really want to do an orange juice and/or apple fast. I have 11 days off from work for the holidays, so I think I'll take some time to do it then. I feel that eating low fat will really prepare my body for that type of thing.

I've been a total banana fiend lately. They are just soooo good. They're sitting right in front of me in the fruit bowl and they look so delicious, I may have to eat another one later! I really don't feel good when I wake up though if i eat past 8:00 PM or eat too much at night. Sigh. I wonder what will win out, logic or my stomach? Lol.
