Default Day 3

Day 3 was mixed. I started off with a berry-spinach smoothie. Partway to noon, I really needed food, and all I had at the office was a canned potato leek soup, which had cream in it. I tried a spoonful, but it was nasty as anything, so I decided to go to the grocery store and pick up something else to eat instead.

It turned out rather good -- I got mixed salad (I brought my own dressing), and I had half an avo with a dash of salt. I snacked on raw walnuts and dried papaya for the rest of the afternoon.

I felt a little bit mentally tired from my work yesterday, but I had enough energy to go to a yoga class and hang out with a friend until late last night. A lot of the time, I get so super sleepy in the evening that I can't enjoy much of anything.

Except I diverged from raw eating late last night when my buddy and I went out for a mojito and lettuce wraps at PF Chang's. Somewhat predictably, I didn't sleep particularly well last night (doesn't alcohol mess with REM?), and today shows my only weight gain -- a pound of what's probably water retention from eating out.

So that's what you can expect in your first three days of eating (mostly) raw! I doubt I'm going to go 100% raw, but I can definitely see myself eating raw foods the majority of the time.

I'll let you know how it goes in the longer run.
