You know when you're having a blah day? Your head kind of hurts, you feel achy. You're grouchy and grumpy and just don't feel like doing anything? Yeah, I haven't had any of those days since eating raw. For someone with chronic headaches and a lot of grumpy, this is a pretty big deal. It shouldn't shock me that my diet affects my mood, but I didn't realize just how much my diet affects my mood and general outlook on life. It's not like every day is peachy. But I feel calmer. Which is nice when a student in my class stands up for the 457th time to declare some defaming statement about me or a peer. I can respond with only a light tap instead of my usual ass kicking. No, but seriously, I think my students are happier, too. And even when things don't go my way, I actually have these moments when I think, "I'm just going to enjoy this right now." Yeah, I know, other people have probably reached this level of enlightenment years ago. Bravo to you. I'm more likely to use cuss words in my head, all the while smiling, when the person in front of me in the grocery store insists on using exact change... and is paying with pennies.
On other notes, I seem to recall that two weeks ago I said that I would be trying to do yoga everyday.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
OK, change comes slowly and so far I have made it through half a yoga session. Only half because my friends came over. Yeah. I guess that makes yoga an area that still needs improvement.
I'm starting to think of what the next month will hold, once all my food is gone. The woman who runs the store told me that she would let me apply what I've already paid toward a long subscription, so I could get the next boxes for cheaper. But I don't knot if I want to eat raw for three more months? But I also feel better than I ever have before. And I wonder how I am suppose to go off of raw? All good things to think about. I do think that one of the major reasons I feel so good is not eating refined sugar. Interestingly enough I haven't craved it nearly so much as I thought. (An embarrassing part of the movie of my life is watching me eat sugar on a binge. Yeah. Remember Gollum looking for "his precious" in the Lord of the Rings? The similarities are a little too close for comfort.)
A'ight. My prep is over. 4.5lbs down.

I have been feeling way better without sugar, too. And the couple of times I've eaten a little this year I've felt really upset to my stomach afterward. Starting to understand how healthy eaters can have a few bites of a sweet and then say they just can't eat anymore...
