Reflecting on the 1st week

It's been a week, and I didn't want to bore anyone with the daily antics of "I ate a cucumber today" and "Wow, my poop is green." OK, maybe that second one isn't so boring. But it is true.

Things I have decided:
1. Part of what makes raw so healthy is the amount of energy you use simply chewing. There is a LOT of chewing involved in raw.
2. I'm surprised at how clear headed I feel. I haven't had any headaches this week. I have felt strong and really clean. The only thing I've noticed is feeling tired, but that can also be attributed to this week being very busy.
3. I still haven't had any major cravings, except bread. I really want some bread. Mmmm. Crispy, warm, french bread...with butter. Hey, I'm not perfect.
4. I have been impressed at my resolve. I have turned down some fabulous food opportunities. Eating out at the Italian restaurant I ordered spinach salad. At my trainings, I didn't eat the Potbelly's sandwiches.
5. I cannot get over the way an apple tastes. Juicy, crunchy, tangy, sweet. I eat the apple until the only thing left is the seed and the stem. Wow.

I also poop green and I've lost 3lbs so far. So that's not bad.

No pictures today, but I'll post one soon.
