Day 5: The Worm, Bok Choy, and Checking In

It's been a reflective day. I've heard a rumor that often when you fast and switch to 100% raw food you go through a reflective period. That has been this week for me. An me, I've been reflecting on the past year and a half of my life. This last year has been quite year but I feel like I have just come out on the other side, beat, tired, worn out and ready for change and inspiration. That's where I am right now... the worm has turned and I want my life to change.

Thai Noodles

Tonight was a blah night as far as dinner is concerned. We tried two recipes from "The Raw Food Detox Diet" by Natalia Rose and they were Okay, but not great. Not re-dos in my book. The first was the Thai Noodles which required me to get the meat out of two young coconuts. I really fun task if you ask me. It was the first time I had used the meat for anything and using it as noodle was great. The sauce for the recipe was really lacking in flavor though. We also made a Carrot Ginger Dressing that was kind of blah as well. I don't know how soon I will be trying any of her recipes again honestly, but hey a least I discovered how perfect the bok choy at Whole Foods is.

Also I'd like to report that since September your dear blogger has shrunk. An inch and a half to be exact. And I've gone from a size 10 (US) to a size 6. My skin had a major eruption last night that I was able to calm with some Bentonite mud. Looking at how far I've come and how far I've got to go I am tinkering on plans. I'm thinking that next week my meals are going to get more simple. Green smoothies and simple combinations. Save my gourmet cooking for when cravings pop up, and of which I've had none by the way. I will be interested to see how things are in a week or two with the more consistent gym visits and healthy eating.
