It is amazing and coincidental that my dearly departed best friend LOVED this song by ODB. I can see him dancing in my head, unfortunately my raw journey was not as fun.
I started monday november 21st, a day that will forever live in infamy. I think the best way to cronicle my journey will be through the food I consumed. I started out this day with a banana. At work I had an apple and three or four bitter peices of lettuce with a house made dressing. For dinner: Celery with (non-roasted) peanut butter, and bananas on top. Needless to say I was very hungry, cranky and utterly pissed off.
But it was fun to tell preople about what I was doing. Everyone at work spent time trying to figure out what I couldn't eat, laugh at me, and then find things I could eat. Towards the end of the day and the rest of my journey my coworkers were my inspiration, encouranging me an forcing me to continue.
Tuesday, I was more prepared. I made a Strawberry banana &Ice smoothie. It was good! I made my friend buy me almond milk and I had a great big glass of that. Delicious. For lunch a walnut blueberry almond milk& ice smoothie. Looked like vomit, tasted pretty good. Peanut butter and apples for dinner. Cup of Tea. I felt like a bird. Very hungry but very light as well. Not like how you feel after you eat mcDonalds.
Wednesday.
The final day.
Finally.
I had an apple. More Almond milk. Small cup of Hummus with apples. Despair, waiting for midnight...AND prepping food for thanksgiving. No tasting allowed, such self control.
It was great, to try. I feel such accomplishment. I laugh in the face of vegatarians. Mock vegans! I hold my head high, and tell anyone who will listen....I WAS A RAW VEGAN. and lived through it. I am considering trying it again to lose weight...who knows what the future holds.... :-)
