I had to skip the writing for a day...a) was too tired to put it into words and b) there really wasn't much new. The Food Diary thing is just dull, since this isn't really about the food itself. My body feels better, my sleep is great, I feel clean and flushed naturally, my hair and skin feel healthy and bright. I'm focused, and it's gotten pretty easy to only pick up the fresh, healthy, wholly nutritious foods!!
Whole foods provide the most in nutrients/vitamins/minerals. You get the whole thing, not just a portion. You eat a whole piece of fruit instead of drinking fruit juice, and you get the natural carbs/natural sugars/vitamins/minerals/fiber. Complete. Not that there's anything wrong with 100% juice, (which, by the way, we have ALWAYS limited ourselves to having in our home... NEVER juice "cocktail"...) but if you have the choice, take the whole fruit. The veggies are amazing, and frankly, I eat and eat and eventually, I've noticed that I can't eat as much. I literally am comfortable eating one serving. I don't want to finish the plate, even when it tastes incredible! (And fresh food does)
Another thing I've noticed is the way things smell... there are vegetable and fruits that I'm trying and had no idea what they smelled or tasted like!!! Endive!!! What the heck??? Where has THAT been all my life??? Just cutting into that is an experience for the senses that I've not had before! And Fennel! I can't WAIT for late spring, when all the produce really starts blossoming and becoming available here. This is SO awesome. And I'll do my very best to buy local, supporting our local farmers. SO happy!
Oh, and had my first egg from the farm... Delish!!!
I've not had any store-bought breads, wraps, crackers, nothing with any additives or preservatives!! It's easy... get through the first week, and the rest falls into place.
I miss chocolate milk. I drink organic white, but chocolate milk is High-Fructose Corn Syrup. My choice of sweetener is honey or molasses. And BOTH have a very distinct taste.
Each day, I have a physical activity that takes up my evenings as well... either Hot Yoga, (YAY!!! GREAT session at the studio tonight! LOTS of cardio and calorie burn with no impact!) or swing dance. Next week, I'll do a yoga session every night and get into the habit of a daily practice. Mind/Body/Spirit. I'm excited to see the changes that happen in all 3 areas after the 30 days are behind me. It is not just "30 Days of Fresh"... it is "30 Days of Awakening".
