September 5th 2010 | Day 3

On today's original agenda:
  •  Water
  •  Garlic Tea
  •  Shower
  •  Vacuum & Clean Desk Surfaces
  •  120 Crunches

[9:28pm]

It's been a tough day. I have not done any of the above except drink water; and not nearly enough of that either.
I woke up again nauseated, like yesterday. I went to bed last night with my circulation so low that resting any weight at all on any of limbs made me go numb. Now, this may sound shocking, but this is something I experience on a somewhat regular basis when very tired or depleted because I have such a weak circulatory system. It was a nightly occurrence when I was at the lowest point in my health (and my life) at the age of sixteen.
I've been doing some serious re-thinking on how I'm going to detox.
Firstly, I think eating up all the cooked foods around the kitchen was a bad thing to do on the week before. I was overeating, and eating a number of things that were not particularly healthy all in a row. That made it even harder on my body to suddenly switch to drinking all water and eating no food.

[11:26pm]

I tried to plunge into this way too fast. I need to take some steps towards it first before I try to dive-in head first. I'm thinking about doing a two-day juice fast with my husband each weekend (with two or three green drinks a day and one smoothie), and then fasting for one or two days after that.
Then on Wednesday and Thursday just eating all-raw, with one green drink a day, and then on Friday eating as much fruit as I want, which I would be limiting the rest of the week, and allowing my husband to have one cooked meal on Friday.
This would allow us to both be much better prepared to dive into a more intense phase of detoxing. As it is, I need to build up some strength. I'm going to start by just adding very small amounts of raw food into my diet.
Total consumption overview for the day:
  • 1 green drink (spinach, lettuce, carrot & carrot top, cucumber)
  • 6 blackberries
  • 4 raw chipoltli pistachios
  • 1 half of a rice cake (to calm my stomach this morning. I held each bite in my mouth until it dissolved. Good for digestion to do so.)
  • 4 thin slices of organic banana
  • 3 very thin slices of organic apple
As a side note, I particularly am unhappy about today's events since it prevented me from making any progress whatsoever on my fantasy novel.

Don't make the same mistakes I did. Instead of doing something "extreme" try a balanced raw diet and follow a nutritionally complete raw meal plan. My raw meal plans are unique because they are nutritionally sound and give you all the directions you need. It's worth it to have a meal plan. It'll save you a lot of "healing crisis" pains!

Vibe Logging: The Value in Tracking Emotions Through Time

-
Image
  For many years I tracked how I spent every minute of my time – and I learned fun facts about myself – over the course of three years of data my average time spent reading fictional novels per day was forty-four minutes. But eventually I stopped logging my time; I’d learned it added roughly twenty minutes to my shower to wash my hair, and that I didn’t feel happy with my relationship when we spent under two hours of quality time together per day. The experiment was a success, but the returns were diminishing. Then, seven years after the original time-logging project began, I had a new inspiration: vibe logging. The premise was that each day had a “vibe” to it – wistful, industrious, melancholy, frustrated, introspective – and that by keeping track of these vibes I’d learn something about how my mood shifted over the course of days, weeks, months, and – maybe, if I was ambitious enough – years. I’ve been “vibe logging” for four years now, and I can say this project has been an asto...

How can you get enough protein on a raw vegan diet? A raw vegan diet does not contain any: Meat Dairy Eggs Fish Beans (unless sprouted raw) Rice (unless soaked and consumed raw) So where does the protein come from? Michelle Battermann Michelle (pictured to the right) is a raw vegan fitness champion. (She mentioned to me personally that she hates the fake tan, but that it is required for body building competitions so that muscle definition stands out when you're under bright lights on the stage.) How does Michelle get such a strong muscular body when she eats a purely raw and vegan diet? Raw Vegan Protein The raw vegan diet provides protein predominantly in its basic form; amino acids. And it provides plenty of it. [1] Do meat-eaters build muscle faster than vegetarians? The simple answer is: No. If adequate minerals, protein, vitamins, exercise, etc, are present, muscle building is the s...
