MY SKINNY JEANS FIT!!!

I disappeared for a while but only b/c I've been very busy with work, and I've been sick for the past couple days so that meant going to bed early, not staying up late online! But I've still been eating raw, of course. I have been eating a ton of food and too much fat for the past 1.5 weeks now, but amazingly I'm still losing weight. My size 26 jeans fit perfectly this morning! I am really really trying to get the fat intake under control though. Probably 20-25% of my daily calories have come from fat almost every day for the past 1.5 weeks- not ok! I need to stay under 20% and ideally under 15%. I'd like to be eating according to 811 eventually. I should probably order the book to motivate me and make sure I'm doing it right.

Anyway, today & tomorrow are my days off from work so I'm concentrating on getting better, and getting chores done. The plan for today is:

-2 bananas w/ raw cacao powder, then I went back to bed for 1.5 hours
-2 more bananas w/ raw cacao and 1/2 T raw almond butter, 2 clementines, half a Lara Bar
-carrots/cauliflower w/ hummus (not raw hummus- this is the one day a week where I'll let myself have something cooked if I want it, and being sick that's all I'm craving...I hope it doesn't taste like sawdust, if it does I'll eat something else)
-green smoothie w/ the usual fruits/kale- need to get some ripe bananas, the ones I had this morning weren't ripe enough for a smoothie. Also an apple.
*upper body weights/abs/half hour power walk or sllloooow run*
-salad w/ romaine, mesclun greens, carrots, tomatoes, cucumber, red peppers, vinegar. Banana w/ raw cacao. 2 more clementines.

I haven't worked out (besides work) for the past 3 days b/c I've been so sick. I never get sick eating raw...perhaps I'm detoxing all that LA smog. It's a sore throat kind of cold. Who knows. I slept for 9 hours last night and feel a little better so far today.
