day 3-RAW

So it is day three of mostly Raw.  My dinners are the only thing at the moment. not.  My husband jokes.  "Why are you not eating your shrimp Raw? tonight kids, Mommy is eating her meatloaf Raw."  Yeah, well, I do what can with what I have for now.  I must say eating shrimp Alfredo after two days of eating Raw made my brain and tummy not so happy.  I was nauseous, felt bloated, and got a ginormous head ache. this convinces me all the more that I want to do this completely by the end of thirty days.  I have more energy.  I am slightly cranky detoxing but that too shall pass.  I made these chocolate chip cookies.  pure awesome yumminess. The kids love them.  My husband even pondered eating them.  I might have to hide them.  Here is something I pondered yesterday.  where on earth will I get my sodium?  So I looked it up and found I will need to get an iodine supplement.  Not too worried about it until after I am completely Raw but I will do it.  Also B-12, but I already do that.   I also was concerned with Charlotte not getting enough iron.  She is not a big meat eater herself.  I figured out a way.  I make myself green smoothies every morning. Raw spinach with fruit mixed together with coconut milk.  It tastes yummy.  Charlotte loves them as much as me.  Problem solved.

I am also back to running.  I took three weeks off.  the first week I stopped, I had two extra kids.  It just was not happening.  the last two weeks i forgot my running shoes. (I guess I should have taken up barefoot running)  So I am slowly building back up to three miles.  Currently I am running every other day for two miles each day.  I pretend Bob from Biggest Loser is pushing me.  It just makes it easier.
