Day 5 without A SINGLE cheat!

Ohhh, it feels GREAT to be back on a little 100% 811 raw streak! It is day 5 already!

Since Sept. 17th 2009, I've been eating very high raw. It's now been almost 6 weeks... though I did have quite a few slip ups that included; veggie sub from subway 1x, 4 meals of low-fat canned soup, meat sandwich 1x, cheese quesadilla 1x, and occasional sneaking a few potato chips. Ewe, sounds so bad, but on the really bad cheats, I was very mentally unstable. :P

So, I would say I had 3 really terrible meals, 4 not great ones, that add up to 7 meals non 811rv, which means I've eaten around 95% raw for 6 weeks!
Prior to Sept. 17th, I had been eating what I thought would be a diet to stabilize my blood sugar and thus mood. It was made up of homemade beans, rice, lentils, vegetables, rice chex, rice cakes and even some chicken and turkey :(... but at least was keeping low-fat because of candida. I was grossed out with the constant eating of these meals, and still felt sick, tired and depressed.
I got so fed up with eating/feeling that way, I decided to just jump into 811 again, but really trust in it this time, going longer than 1 week, and eating plenty of calories. And, even though I don't feel amazing yet, I'm feeling better and better and completely trust (no longer EVER doubt) that this is the path of true healing.

I've also increased my activity! I walk more, longer, and even jog a little. I'm also trying to do yoga more and do things on my feet more, like cleaning. It's really a practice of pushing myself, even when I'm tired or down, to still be productive, because that too helps with my depression and will get me closer to being able to work part-time again!

I'm very blessed to be eating this diet and I'm excited to become athletic again! My life is on a beautiful path and I'm learning to create balance and joy!
