Day 4 of 10 day 100% challenge

Day 72
RAW

Today, I felt sooo good. And I made my 100% goals, at least in theory. If I am a stickler I was not 100%, but I was pretty close. 99%!!!!

HOW I FEEL

I wish I could describe how I feel on higher raw foods. And that is with a cooked meal in there, think how I will feel the next day and the next.

Here are some words to try to describe it... the best one is clear, I am so clear headed... everything feels the way it is supposed to in my head... and I do not know if this even sounds crazy, but think about how much your head does not feel clear sometimes and you will get a little of the idea.

Clean, fresh, smooth, centered, calm, happy, joyful, balanced, refreshed, not thirsty, fulfilled...

Hey, I wrote a whole blog on that one.

There are no mild headaches, no aches in my body at all. No tension in my head, neck, shoulders... and I have not done yoga or really much exercise this week.

FAMILY

Today I started getting to the point where I start not being very hungry. Which is a little hard because I am still preparing food for my husband and daughter. I re read some of an ebook I had gotten early on, when I was just worried about this stuff for me. So I re read it and got a lot of kids ideas out of it. I think part of my problem is that I am very anti sweets. The idea of giving my child a cookie for breakfast seems awful. Or a pudding for dinner. But, that is exactly why that would be the thing to do for her. Kapow! Eat all your pudding for dinner... eat all of it or you get no fruit for dessert. :) Pretty funny, huh? And I think I need to think about food from her perspective. Which is why when she says she does not like it I am just asking what do you like, or what would you change now and seeing what I get back as an idea. It is working slowly, but I still loose a lot of work on making something and then her saying she would rather have an apple. :) Thank God for apples.

ORANGES

The ebook I was reading was saying to give children a lot of orange juice, I am not quite sure why. But I think it was a nutritional thing, or maybe this family just loved it. More reading to come, more learning. Anyway, my friend sent me a story about her daughter who wants an orange birthday and wanted the perfect orange outfit for it... she really does not have a lot of time to spend shopping, because she has 3 little ones.. but they went out to this funky kids shop and walked up to the 4T section and there it was orange velvet pants and a tie dyed shirt with an orange on it. How cute is that? It made me want oranges, and it made me want to post an orange for the blog pic. I need to make sure I send her a box of oranges wrapped in orange tissue or something! So great! Oh wait, I know what she needs... shhhh! I think she reads the blog sometimes :)
