Nine

This isn't going to turn into a weight loss journal as those are really boring and no one wants to read about the meals I eat that resemble mud pies and drinks that smell like a garden after a fresh rain. However, I do want to keep track of my progress so that as I read back I will know where I have been and how I got there. I am on day thirteen of eating raw. I have a hard time with the percentage of raw that I am eating because it is really just a guess in the dark and there are varying opinions on what is 100% and what is not. Some say sea salt some say not. Some say raw apple cider vinegar is the devil some (including me) say not. I am doing my best without beating myself up over the very tedious details of it all. So far I have lost nine pounds. My skin looks clearer. My body is even letting me drink fresh grapefruit and orange juice without trying to make me pass out from the pain. I haven't had to medicate myself at all since the beginning (knock on wood). Okay. That is all the progress for now.

In other news, Disney was a partial success, it is too freaking hot to endure that in July. Hope was perfectly happy with her adventure and is still talking about it. A good time was had by all, until of course, we all became cranky people and went home a tad early. Nevertheless, it all worked out. No one got sick. No one died. No one murdered anyone. No one got arrested. No one went crazy and consumed raspberry crumb cake that was screaming their name. That, by anyone's standards, is a good day.
