Man i want a biscuit, veggie stir fry with brown rice, some peanut butter!!! I don't care what it is as long as it's cooked. LOL. I would say that 99.9% of my thoughts today have been centered on eating odd combinations of various cooked foods just for the hell of it. Two activities make my second day consuming only raw foods pretty challenging -feeding my toddler cooked foods made by yours truly and shopping at the Co-op. Fortunately for me, i had plenty things to cross off my TO DO LIST. So with only 2 days into my detox and raw food journey, i begin to notice a few things. First, my thoughts are consumed by consuming cooked foods; mostly starchy sugary foods. I hear voices (you know what i mean) telling me that licking the left over peanut butter off the spoon isn't so bad and finishing my son's lunch is better than being wasteful. Sigh. Being mindful of my thoughts was like pressing the rewind button on a cassette player too numerous to count. When i did eat however, i took my time in order to take in less food. Afterwards i felt balanced and my need for rest was due to another cause than contracting the itis. Not surprising to me, i am no more or no less tired than what i usually am. I have major detoxing to do. Before i am able to immediately feel the amazing effects of raw and living foods/drinks then i must prepare my body through detox. Period. I also notice that i am barely farting. There's a surprise, lol. I notice that even though i'm not doing too well on my water intake, my mouth isn't dry. And lastly, i am not spitting out mucus every 10 minutes or so. Again, no surprise there. If you knew me, you'd be proud of me. In my past experiences, each time i decide i'm going to do a cleanse, I'm usually sneaking in something for one inessential reason or another and the cycle continues. I need to feel, see, and know the person i can be under the nurturing influences of living foods. Day 3 here i come!
