DAY SIX RAW

Spent the day with my family. Astrid was still a little sick so we kept it simple... It was a beautiful day outside so lots of vitamin D. Went for a picnic at the park and I brought my salad, etc .. I ended up not having a fork and having to eat it with my hands which was rather satisfying... Vyk joked with me about it being raw snack food vs a salad. :) But we walked and moved and had fun together... I feel so good!
I also am going to see my old friend Angi who's son is in the hospital with a brain tumor. It will be challenging emotionally for me, because there are good reasons why we do not hang out much anymore... Seeing her and her kids under such horriable conditions will take a lot out of me. I will be mindful of not stress eating. And not picking up any negative feelings and carrying them around with me. Prayer!

Soul- I am happy! I am less stressed! I am not as grumpy! I am energetic! I have a stronger connection with my family! I am at peace! Could this be from eating this way? It is very possiable!

Food-
I had the most cooked meal I have had so far today... a little cous cous in my salad...
This was my first family meal tonight eating this way. I can see it will be harder to deal with when I have more sit down dinners. Luckily but Unluckily my family is very ships passing in the night right now. Vyk is on a very strange work schedule and James is working now or with friends so much that we only weekly get a sit down meal together. I do sit down with Astrid everynight. But she is easy to please with rice and healthy pasta and that kind of thing that is easy to whip up... But with that being said. My family is eating healthier with me. They are getting more fruits and veggies because they are available. I can see this being a smoother transition with family than I could have ever hoped for. Tomorrow is the Sunday family meal where I invite my dad and we all eat together...Grocery shopping later, I will be mindful of what I decide we will all eat!!! Planning will be the key to my success. This is a day we generally eat out a lot as well! FUN!
