Day 4, 5 and 6

The past few days have been pretty much the same.

Breakfast - Green juice (kale, celery, and apple)
Peeled apples
Lunch - Mangoes and papayas
Dinner - Black grapes and bananas
Sometimes a salad or wrap with red pepper and celery.





I had a good weekend. Even though I was social and went to a lot of parties and dinners, I ate my fruit beforehand and wasn't tempted.

I watched the film Supersize Me tonight. It's a documentary, in which the subject eats only McDonald's food for 30 days. In the beginning he is very healthy, but over the course of one month he gains 20 pounds, his health severely declines, cholesterol and blood pressure skyrocket, and he feels depressed and lethargic all of the time.

Eating fruit makes me feel like the opposite of Supersize Me. Everything gets better.

Day 3: Running Free.

Breakfast - 4 peeled Gala apples
celery juice
Lunch - 2 chopped bananas, dates, and 2 apples


Dinner - 3 Bananas
10 Black Mission figs
red pepper

Exercise - 3 x 1 mile interval run, 1 mile walking. Best run I have had in a while.

I am inspired by life, inspired by everything. This morning I loved watching this video by The Fruitarian, aka Michael Arnstein, an marathon runner whose diet is all fruit! The first 5 minutes are just a rant, so skip them if you like, but after that his message really resonates. Live true to you, and listen.

Day 1

Breakfast - 4 Jonagold apples, peeled
Lunch - 2 Jonagold apples, peeled
6 bananas
Halawi dates
Snack - One bunch of Concord grapes
Black Mission figs



Exercise - 3 sets of 20 spinning exercise and 3 sets of 20 jumping jacks in the morning; 3 sets of 20 spinning exercise in the evening

I feel wonderful today with lots of steady energy. I was going to have some celery and lettuce but I didn't crave any, so I just had fruit all day. Tonight I will try to get some good rest, for a long and busy day tomorrow.

Mentally I am focused on living my truth, and letting others live theirs.

NOverts.

Truth: Since I have started eating raw almost 3 years ago, I haven't gone more than two weeks without overt fats in my diet, as I eat avocados, tahini, and coconut on at least a weekly basis. For me personally, I find them mentally addicting and I think I eat too much of them. So for once, I would like to try going up to a month, maybe more, without fats, to see how I feel. Perhaps I could experience better healing, more energy, better exercise, and other numerous benefits without them?

So daily for the next 30 days I will record my diet here, along with any details.

Oh how I love my experiments!

Today's Meditation:

"It is neither good nor bad. It just is."

The pendulum constantly swings. It is not possible to swing only in one direction. I have tried so hard to do just that, only to be knocked down by the pendulum swinging back the other way.

However, the compulsion to judge everything in the world, label it and act accordingly is strongly ingrained in the lifestyle of the society I live in. In this society, it seems the mindset is that everything is wrong and needs to be changed. Is this really so, and how limiting is this mentality?

I am learning to be grateful and accepting of things as they are without judging them. Perfect appreciation is my goal.

Who am I?

Or more like, who do I want to be?

I want to be the girl who lights up a room when she walks in.
Who has a good energy that people are just drawn to.
Who inspires people with her lifestyle and attitude.
Who you can always count on as a friend; you think of her when you need someone to talk to, or to listen, or for advice, or a unique perspective on life.
Who is understanding, kind, and non-judging of others.
Who puts others at ease.
Who loves to try new things and is always up for adventure and fun.
Who runs 5k races and marathons.
Who senses others' energy in situations and responds accordingly.
Who always knows the right thing to say.
Who follows her divine intuition and guidance to the highest possible, always in a state of grace.
Whose thoughts, words, and actions come from a high place.
Who uplifts the energy of all around her.
Who gives love unconditionally.

Can I be her? I think that is a very good place to start. I will keep trying every day.
