Binged...

This 2 days after my 7 days of raw:

I just went went to Oriental Buffet and binged. I feel like crap right now! Fat Matt was in control and I ate 2 big plates of food. As soon as I was done with my 2nd plate it was like Fat Matt was satisfied and Skinny Matt was back in control. I felt so out of place. I ate some fruit and got out of there. Of course everything I ate was vegan, but it was still WAY too much food for one sitting. It's almost like I have to fall off the horse before I get back on. I probably just undid the positive effects of eating raw for a week.

Oh, well. I just need to take it as a lesson learned.

So, new rule. NO MORE BUFFETS (unless I'm with Rachel, and during those times I'll try to control what I eat).

7 days of raw!

I'm trying to eat raw for 7 days starting today (7-1-9)!

Start weight 202.8

Day 1 went well!

Green smoothie (fruit based) for breakfast.
Took fresh carrot juice to work.
Snacked on a couple bananas.
raw bar.
Green smoothie (fat based) for lunch.
Snacked on celery and an apple.
Raw spaghetti for dinner.
Used the elliptical for 20 minutes.

I look forward to tomorrow!

Day 2

Fruit for breakfast.
green drink (4 heads of romain lettuce, 1 bunch of kale, 4 fuji apples, 2 organic lemons and ginger).
raw bar.
green smoothie (fat based) and flax crackers w/ cashew butter for lunch.
snacked on celery.
green smoothie (fruit based) and veggie rolls for dinner.

This is great! I've already lost 3 1/2 lbs!

My 7 days of raw went okay. I lost 7 lbs, so about 1lb a day! I need to find quicker meal ideas. Also, I know when I go raw that I'm going to have to deal with emotional issues from not eating cooked food (at first). I'll have to detox those feelings and hopefully not want cooked food.
