Exercise: Lots of walking today
Food: 7 large very ripe bananas, Green salad with tomatoes and cucumber (coriander dressing), and a few lara bars which are raw bars of 2 to 5 ingredients mainly dates and a nut e.g. cashew cookie (dates and cashews), pecan pie (dates, almonds, pecans) etc. The Lara bars are a great way to introduce raw food to 'cookies' because they are in a familiar context i.e. packaged.
I was reading an email from the raw divas today. I love their stuff and their infectious way of being. I was thinking this week about how there is no scarcity, but our limiting beliefs are keeping us in bondage to scarcity lifestyles. And this was what the email was about. It's the same with eating raw, you may get asked whether you miss cooked food. Which is scarcity thinking in action i.e. you're missing out. When really you are eating raw because of abundant thinking i.e. better health, more time, deeper relationships, authentic living.. if this isn't the case for you, your joy will be diminished. Spend time increasing your 'why' for raw and your scarcity thinking will decrease and your abundance thinking will increase.

Lies, Damned, Lies
Exercise: Pushups, general running around and up and down stairs
Food: 6 bananas, strawberry, pineapple and spinach green smoothie. Wasn't sure if it would work but it did. Salad - cucumber, tomato and avocado, with coriander dressing. Drink at bar orange and pineapple juice, and yes freshly squeezed too, woo hoo. Chomped on some almonds more than I wanted or needed even but hey ho.
I'm really getting on with this eating at noon thing. My body definitely appreciates it. And my very ripe bananas just taste so scrummy. I feel like I have to pinch myself. Because it is sooooo different from what I see in my day to day life now. At work there is just a constant stream of sugar and caffeine passing through, but more heart-breaking are the messages attached to it. 'I'm not worthy', 'I'll find love in this slice of cake', 'I'll go out and buy doughnuts, and then everyone will like me', 'I'll have some coffee for energy'. Once upon a time I bathed in that stream, one way or the other. Lies, damned lies.
But there is hope, I just have to look in the mirror to know that. And that's why I love writing this blog, it's like a black and white version of a new reality. And that's why I get excited when I find more lovely people doing this raw ride in their own unique way. I got a sweet message from the raw divas, check them out, the site is vibrant, sassy and real. www.therawdivas.com
