warm weather is here! Raw Day One



woo! warmth! sun! shine! bunnies! [okay, no bunnies yet, just the metaphorical ones associated with happiness]. another happy thing? this picture, that's right, puerto vallarta.

so, i am really resolving to do raw as much as possible. this week, i really indulged and now i'm paying for it. i.e. i ate way too many samosas yesterday, really quickly, and now i think i have heartburn?? it's this really awfully uncomfortable feeling in my chest/throat. a burning sensation. even if it's not, it's ridiculous to not be feeling your physical best everyday when you have the ability and control to do so. i feel like my body's fighting against the onslaught of toxins right now, and i'm going to do everything i possibly can to help it. i AM NOT going to guarantee that if i am tempted by something and decide that life is not worth living unless i have that thing, that i won't eat it. and I WILL NOT feel guilty about it either. good thing about this week was that i didn't feel guilty at all-i just ate, and it was a lot of fun to eat [kinda, only while eating], but i feel like i broke my insides.

i am however, resolving to yes, go raw [when i say that, when i say, " i am raw," and really own the word, own up to it, it makes me more responsible for what i eat. not, "i'm trying to go raw," sino que "i'm going raw!" yeah!] under the exception outlined above and make a progress blog every day. i think this will get me to think about what's going on, realize that cravings are all part of the process, and really force me to be accountable.

I will be following this format (something that I did last spring which was soooo much fun]:

Physical: already mentioned above, feel awful today. hair looks really good though. i haven't eaten anything yet [woke up at 9:45], and have just been drinking water. i tried to drink some tea cuz i thought it would be good for me, but it increases the burning sensation and is just very uncomfortable. maybe i'll eat a banana sometime.

Emotional: feel pretty good, walked to campus today thinking good thoughts. focusing on good. focus. good.

Mental: feel competent, but definitely under my potential. not good as i wrote my application for UCEC coordinator and spanish inability makes me sad/frustrated.

Time Went to Bed: 2 am [haha. i watched all the grey's anatomy episodes online. haha. worth it. i hope callie and erica have an affair!]
Time Awoke: 9:45 am
Total Time Slept: 7:45 am. feel a little tired.
Dream(s): isaac and zoe threw sand at me for talking about pig welfare.

Food: nada
water: cup of tea, 40 oz so far
Exercise: walk to campus. i is gonna start exercising soon. promise.

Mood of the day: 7.5
Current mood: 7

Currently dreading: eh
Currently looking forward to: eh...diary transcription?
