July 4th Weekend in the Raw

Well, days 4-6 were difficult at times, but I did it! Fortunately, there was no 4th barbecue or party to worry about. Plus, my Mom was here and is in the midst of a 7-day 100% raw detox. So we were able to help each other resist temptation - particulary on the beach last night for fireworks - pizza, fried dough, ice cream . . . ughhhh. But we did it!

My back is getting better day by day, which is great. We did a lot of cleaning and organizing this weekend. Not much relaxation for us! But it was worth it - the house is looking really great.

Let's see - today I had:

B: GS with bananas, 2 kiwis, spinach, ice
S: lemon lara bar - OMG, amazing!!
L/D: celery stalks with Ani Phyo's taco nut meat; salad with romaine, spinach, spring mix, cukes, tomatoes, carrots
S: orange, grapes

I wasn't feeling hungry for most of the day, so I didn't eat as much as usual. I've been a little bloated/constipated, so eating less is a good thing.

My weight loss is not as impressive as I had expected - but I think my body is going through an adjustment right now. Hopefully the scale will bring a smile to my face soon. :)
