Happy Friday!

Yes, I know it's technically Wednesday, but I have the next 2 days off so it feels like Friday to me!

It's been horribly cold here- low of -6 today- and tonight it's getting down to -20 to -15. I am cold enough just eating raw again, I really don't need this extra arctic chill! This post will be quick b/c I've been waiting all day to cuddle up under 5 blankets with my warm fuzzy cat children and hibernate.

But I would like to say that I have absolutely zero cooked vegan food cravings. It's really weird. I had quite a few cravings in my previous stints as a raw foodist (I also have pretty darn good will power so I didn't give in for a very long time, but then when I did all hell broke loose!). Even in the cold weather I am more than happy to much on bananas and apples while my coworkers have soups and warm breads and soy cheese pizza. Weird... I am attributing it to the sheer bulk of fruit I'm eating. I must be eating pounds & pounds of it each day! And yet my pants continue to get looser!

OK so today was:

-green smoothie w/ 2 bananas, frozen mango/strawberries/blueberries, kale. Also 2-3 bananas (don't remember) and a bite of a cocao mole Lara Bar to see if it was any good (that is definitely a no!)
-3 bananas, chocolate coconut Lara Bar, apple
-2 bananas, 4 raw cashews that my mom bought
*ran 3 miles...at 7 PM after a looong week at work...a miracle has truly occurred!*
-some baby carrots, a roma tomato, 2 clementines, an apple & a banana..random mish-mosh of stuff. I wanted plain romaine lettuce & lots of it, but had none. How sad.

That's roughly 1700 calories (more than I've had in a while!) and 13% fat. Not my best day, but not a bad day by a long shot!
