Get on the Good Foot
It has been a minute since I blogged….. Life has been happening. Yeesh! But I hate blogs that don’t update regularly. And I refuse to be one of those non-updating individuals. Sooooo….. I wanted to update y’all on my raw food progress.
I had company at the very beginning of April. My company was not a vegetarian, but was willing to give vegetarianism a shot. But I was raw vegan up to that point, not vegetarian. He adjusted his diet and so did I. Woooooow. Big difference. I have heard people talk about switching up and getting sick, but never have I personally experienced the reaction. It ain’t no joke. And it definitely will make me rethink switching diets all willy nilly.
Before I was eating true raw meals, using all my toys. The new dehydrator (Did I tell you about my new Excalibur? A future post.), the juicer, the food processor and blender. But lately, I have been just using my hands. Salads and plain fruit. I have been eating just one meal a day. I know I said that I wanted to get back to the Elijah Muhammad, “How to Eat to Live” program, but I didn’t want to do it this way. Gotta be careful what you ask for. I have been stressed out these days. And I know that stressing is useless but I haven’t been able to shake it. It has robbed me of energy and of my appetite. So that’s why I have been able to go back raw and eat once a day. Ain’t want it like this, though.
I have gotten back on the good foot. I am predominantly raw now a days. I’d say about 85%. If I do eat something cooked its something small like popcorn or a slice of cake (which reeks havoc on my system). It’s funny how when you go back to old habits, you go back to all of them. I sipped some alcohol when I had company, now I find myself sipping, though not fully imbibing, more and more. I have been drinking caffeinated coffee too. All of this must stop. I can see and feel the difference in my mind and body. The clarity is going in and out too. I am slowly coming back to my ownself. And it only took a little to get me off track. I have to remember that it doesn’t take much to get lost, but the effort to get back is far more difficult.
Peace
