Well, well, well, day 21 has come and gone! All is well in the life of a raw food explorer and the food has been pretty good too! Not sure I am done with all of this. In fact, I am certain I am not. I have had more temptations over the last few days but I have not wavered! I have held true to the calling to live totally raw for the last 21 days!
It's a great time of year to do this as organic produce abounds (just not as much in Sidney, NE) Eye roll with a :) All I can say to that is, "Thank God for the internet and the ability to order on-line!" The question now seems to be," How long?" I'm not sure! I have enjoyed finding new recipes and the knowledge that absolutely everything I put in my mouth is beneficial! I feel Amazing! As I have written before, inflammation was the primary reason for doing this and I happily report it is way down. I am not ready to go back where I was (PERIOD). I am not willing to sacrifice freedom from pain for a few bites of something that might satisfy the pallet and bring on the urges for junk food and dairy products. You all know that ice-cream has been a weakness for a very long time. I can honestly say that I have kicked that weakness. Dairy is like a poison to my system. Combine that with all the sugar and fat and for me it is a mixture that literally sets my body on fire. The taste may well satisfy the longing for covering up emotional injustice (comfort food) but the results are from comforting.
Yes, I will stay on this path for awhile. I will keep you apprised of how things are going. So continue in your prayers for me for health and well being, for encouragement and the longing for the healthy body I so much desire. No-one can ever accuse me of not doing the necessary work to get there. It can be a rough road but the road less traveled truly is rewarding. I can tell you this from many experiences and they don't all have to do with the food I eat! More of that another time! God Bless!
Oh, weight wise: I started this brief journey at 221 lbs. I didn't remove as much as I would have liked but I weighed in this morning at 215. Not bad for not having added in the exercise that I so desperately need to do! I will get there! Check back in a week or so for more updates! Again, I pray God's blessings upon you!
