Day Four-Sexy



This morning I had to take my daughter to the dr's for her school physical. I love when people look at me crazy when I ask for an immunization exemption form. She hasn't had shots in over 3 years and is healthy as a horse. Shoooot, the girl is 8 and only 9 inches shorter than me.

I changed up my morning routine just a tad for today. Instead of starting off with the lemon water mixture I had some coconut water (pasteurized boooooo) that I had pre-feast and wanted to use. Plus I had seen an interview from Raw Foodist Aris La Tham saying that when you drink coconut water first thing in the morning it's like showering your body from the inside out; flushing out the toxins. So I drank that while at the dr's office.

When I got home I was soooooooooooooooooo tired. If I could get one good night's worth of rest I know I'd feel better, b.u.t for some reason I woke up and my Sun was not in the bed. He was standing next to the bed...doing what I have no idea. I think he may have been sleepwalking because he didn't make a sound. I told him to come to bed and he did. *shrugs*. Well anyway I attempted to take a short nap, b.u.t that was impossible since my Sun was up watching Dora, Diego and Umi Zoomi. After I laid there semi conscious for about an hour/hour and a half I got up and made some juice:


I call this Buddha Juice...

the one on the left is plum, mango and strawberries and the one on the right is my usual favorite green concoction of spinach, parsley, cucumbers, apple, lemon and this time with some added pineapple for 'volume'. I'm running out of fruits; only down to lemons, limes and a handful of blackberries. I'm good on the greens and carrots b.u.t I need to get to a store tonight and if no one takes me then damnit i'm walking.

I feel sexy today though. I did not get on the scale last night nor this morning...I don't want to fall back into that terrible habit of letting the scale dictate my day. B.u.t I feel like a change is slowly happening...is it because I'm not on my moon cycle anymore? Is the idea of juicing and my 'lady time' ending a combination placebo affect for making me feel this way? *shrugs* I would like to see how it changes next month....

You know what's hard? Not to nibble...not to taste test when I'm preparing food for the babies. That's like a 'mom habit'...testing to food to ensure it's not too hot, or to get them to eat....it's been really hard, b.u.t I'm doing well. Normally when the family is eating, I'm in my room...the further away, the better.

Paz!

  1. I have read so much lately about child immunization (and I don’t have kids) and know that this is the route I would have gone too! It’s so scary! Pretty cool about the coconut water! Internal shower, that sounds awesome.

    I bet he was sleepwalking (I love that you call him Sun.. bright shiny energy!). Two of my sisters (I am the oldest of 5!) did sleepwalk when they were babes.

    Oh Smilin’ Mighty Jesus your plum, mango strawberry juice sound like heaven! I WANT a nice sweet juice. I am so afraid of straight fruit juice… I need to get my blood sugar checked soon.. last year I was borderline diabetic but I have really worked on it and lost over 40 pounds.. I bet I don’t have a sugar problem any more.

    I’ve got that sexy feeling too. I have been thinking a lot about my body lately and what I want to ultimately work toward and also listening to music and dancing around the house (pretty much the only real exercise I get right now!).. I think the raw sure does make me feel pretty groovy.

    Have a great day 5!! I want to go longer but I think Sat. I will be coming off.. but going right back to very High Raw.. I’ve only been a “raw foodie” for about 6 weeks now so I intuitively don’t feel like I am ready for a long juice feast.. I would be setting myself up for failure.. at least right now.

    I love reading your blog!

  2. You're doing an amazing job for being a raw food newbie!! You'll have many opportunities to feast, and at times, your body will tell you it's time like mine did. Congratulations Daisy :)

    And that juice was AMAZING. it had a hint of tartness from the strawberries. Even my mom liked it, and my babies tried to drink it all. I got a lot of yummy groceries to last me until the weekend. Enjoy your day today!
