Day Three AM

[Sarah Walker]

That was a weird night, let me tell you. I am currently sitting here drinking a big jug of water and lemon because I was day dreaming about it for the last hour as I lay in bed...Thats weird..but the weirdest part was last night.....I went to bed about 9pm , got undressed hopped into bed like I normally do. I remebered as I lay there that I didnt water the tomatoes, but I thought I would get up in a little bit and do it. My brain was trying to tell me I was tired because that is what it always does at that time. So I pulled out my book and started reading....I read the same sentence over and over and over....and I realized something...I wasnt actully tired. My mind wasnt sleepy, it was racing! I was only in bed becuase thats how I was use to feeling for the past 3 years or so. I was always tired so when I got the kids to bed, I went to bed..cuz thats what I always did. I was laying there and realized I am not actully tired , going to bed was/is just a habit! So I jumped out of bed and I could feel energy running through me.....it was insane , I almost felt like a superhero! It was awesome. So I grabbed another jug of water put on my running shoes and went for a walk! for 50 mins I walked!! and at the end , I still wasnt tired! if it wasnt piutch dark, I would have kept going! Is this seriously what I have to look forward to? Is this really it?

was food effecting my life soooooo much that even just adding food full of life for a few days it has changed everything? is this really possiable. I mean being full of energy had its down side too, because I tossed and turned and tossed and turn , slept for a very little while and my body wanted to get up at some point when it was still dark....but really..I wasnt tired. AND I am up now and not really tired...It feels like I have being this for longer then three days!

Its almost as if my body was so desperate for me to do this, its running with it on its own. wow.

As for detoxing, ya well that sort of sucks.

I am hurting , my eyes are really itchy and sticky and a constant mild ache in my head.  I am having weird little feelings in my brain , almost dizzy but not quite. My nose is running like a faucet. But really though it sucks, its easy to work through them. Their there , but their mild. I am also really really thirsty and cannot seem to get enough water! which means I am constantly in the bathroom!   I can feel my body cleaning itself out  and its worth it and I am not even 100% raw yet! Can you just believe that!

 

I feel really good about today.....I feel like God is building me up and every morning is anew. I am here.

 

Todays plan :

Breakfast : water with lemon water, vega smoothie with frozen strawberries added. Apples

Lunch : raw cucumber soup and green beans

Dinner : I am gonna try a raw dinner folks , I will keep you posted.  I am looking at a green juice with things from my garden.

Snacks : Green tea if my withdrawal from coffee headache comes back.  Almonds and raisins.

 

Thanks for all the amazing support  you guys, being able to see people care is so awesome!

with love

One thing about drinking lemonade or other high citrus stuff (amla/gooseberry/Phyllanthus emblica) is that they wear out your enamel. My dentist recommended that I brush my teeth after that or at least gargle a dozen times.

Hi Sarah,

Welcome to the world of incredible energy!!! I  pray that your new lifestyle will be great!!

Blessings.................

the sparkling energy and increase of internal desire to move my body - not because I 'should' but because my body wants to - those were and still are some of the most amazing and wonderful raw food benefits I have experienced from the beginning (now 2 years into a fully committed raw program!) and the weight loss, re-shaping of my body has come right along with ease.  I trust that your body will find it's natural balance once you're through the initial de-tox and you'll find your own right rhythm of sleep and rest and activity. It's a wonderful journey!

That sounds amazing...I really enjoy reading about your experiences. Laughed when you said "feeling like a superhero" as I have had similar thoughts at times. How amazing that food can have such an impact on all areas of our lives, including how much sleep we need, how we perceive things, wow. Keep up the good work and keep sharing. Have a great day!

Way to go, Sarah!!  ((hugs))  You're doing great!

Green juice and blueberries so far today.  I'm off to the kitchen to make a fruit salad.
