First, an update on my week of raw food. I managed to last six-and-a-half days before succumbing to some leftover pasta in the fridge and completely abandoning all thoughts of raw anything. While I didn’t make it the entire week, I was very proud of myself for a) lasting as long as I did and b) managing not to strangle anyone while struggling with caffeine withdrawal. And did that first cup of coffee on Monday morning ever taste good!

Going forward, I’m hoping to keep up a more-raw-than-not sort of eating pattern; I really felt energized by all the fruit and vegetables I ate (and I developed a real appreciation for trail mix which both Adam and Leah shared). I will need to figure out how to best incorporate more raw food into my diet (I like the idea of “raw till dinner” so that I can focus on smoothies and salads for breakfast and lunch but still participate in eating the normally-cooked family dinner).

As for the sugar cleanse, I am currently allowing myself a short hiatus while I’m on a family vacation of sorts and am very thankful to welcome vanilla soy lattes back into my life, at least briefly. I plan to be back at the cleanse later this week, though, with a renewed energy to get through the rest of the month.
