I'm clearly not drinking enough water to flush out any toxins that might be released (I *know* this -- don't ask how) and it's likely I'm not eating enough calories.
Watching Bunny's video from when she was between challenges really made sense to me. I'm only feeling barely "hungry" like twice daily! And yesterday when I did feel peckish I ate too many pine nuts with oil and balsamic vinegar (not raw!) and made myself feel sick. Then, because of that sick heavy feeling, B made me another smoothie (we always have a green one for breakfast) of just fruit. Then, around 10pm, I ate some strawberries! No wonder my body is holding on to EVERYTHING. It's getting no fuel!
I was reading a really good raw blog last night and some posts were food diaries. The blogger is eating 811 and she ate SO MUCH FRUIT every day! Like 8 small mangos or 8 bananas at a time?!? I usually eat 1 banana and feel like "ah."
But I want to add some physical activities to my day, it's part of my 10 day mini challenge goals. So, I have to eat more. The other day I found out that eating large meals is right out for me. So, I have to eat smaller more frequent meals, which is what I was doing before we started this crazy raw stuff! So, the benefit of not feeling hungry much (not having to think about food or constantly plan or clean up) is moot because I have to eat ALL THE TIME.
WHATEVER.
