i'm still fucking raw!

that's right! can yu believe it? it's saturday evening and i'm still going strong. i wasn't expecting to make it through the weekend (and its social pressures) without cooked food, especially since it's freezing outside and i could really go for some soup, or really anything warmer than room temperature. i am totally stoked! anyway, here's what i ate:

today:
-handful of dried apricots
-handful of almonds/cashews
-banana
-raw lasagna (yum!), salad and some marinated raw veggies - chicago diner = rawsome!
-delicious raw cheesecake - i dare say even better than cousin's!

also: even though i ate a huge (and pretty dense/heavy dinner) i feel very full but not at all gross. i am beginning to attribute bloating (and general gross stomach feelings) to wheat. when i am off wheat i really feel great. and i'm not talking about atkins bullshit here - i know i'm getting plenty of carbs from the vast quantities of fruit i am eating.

yesterday:
-green shake
-dried apricots, almonds
-leftover spinach salad
-mango/jicama slaw - so good!, 1/2 avocado
-raw brown rice salad with curry powder, carrot, beet, celery and spinach juice and pulp -- weird but good.
-dried mango, black pepper cashews

the raw rice sat like a brick in my stomach so i don't know if i would do that again...apparently you should only eat it in small quantities because it continues to expand in your stomach - probably by 2-3 times. the salad was heavy on the pulp and light on the rice, so i only consumed maybe a couple of tablespoons - but i definitely felt it.

i also went to the gym and worked out. official weigh-in: 112 lbs.
interestingly enough - this is exactly what i weighed after the same number of days of doing this last time. odd. i'm definitely eating much more this time around and i just don't look as sickly. last year i could really see the weight loss in my face and at my breast bone and this time i detect almost no visible difference. could it all be poo/water weight? i'm not as worried about it this time around because my appetite is good and i'm eating a reasonably well balanced diet and not just gorging myself on bananas. don't worry though (emily) i'm not going to let myself drop too low.

ps - for those of you wondering about pq - she is on day 3 of the master cleanse and doing great. i envy her, but we will rendezvous with the master cleanse together later in the summer when i'm through with nursing my wounds. expect an update from her soon.
