Going Raw Day 3
I ended up getting to sleep really late last night – 5am. I spent too much time reading raw blogs and looking recipes, but at least now I have a shopping list for recipes.
I woke up at 1pm feeling rather refreshed, had some spinach for breakfast, straight out of the bag. It was an awesome taste and fun too. Made a banana, apple and pineapple smoothie and learnt that you really should peel the apples first, but it was still yummy. Still getting used to the excess energy though, I had so much I needed to jump on my exercise bike to burn it off, and I normally do 5-10 minutes worth, I set it for 5 minutes because I was feeling sore, and ended up extending it to 15, longest I’ve done in a while. If this keeps up, I’ll be doing an hour at a time by the end of the week.
I’ve also restarted my weight log as well, so I’ll be keeping that posted. I’m not one for stats or measuring, even though on a raw diet you should, but it’s one measurement that’s interesting and easy to do.
Also, being able to eat anything raw, whenever, however is completely and utterly awesome.
Work was interesting. I didn’t get as tired as I normally do. I ended up finishing the night feeling both tired and energised. Even now I’m feeling sleepy, but alert. It’s almost like there’s this undercurrent of energy I can tap into if I need to.
Lastly: I couldn’t stop laughing when I picked up my clothes to wear and thought to myself: I’m going to need new pants.
