Today the cat woke us up at sunrise again, so I had some time to work out in the morning. I did 15 minutes on the recumbent bike at the gym (no running, since my foot was bothering me a little), following by some upper body strength training and stretching.
Today was a stressful day at work.
Food today:
At work -
Green smoothie made from 6 organic bananas and 1/2 bunch of organic kale
7 mangos
20 oz. fresh oj
After work -
2 handfuls brazil nuts
2/3 bunch organic broccoli (stalks and florets) with 1 avocado
Some dried cape gooseberries
Today was stressful, like I said. And I was detoxing like crazy. Oh, well. I got through it, and tomorrow's another day...

Back to raw...we've hit the ground running (ha).
So, I guess I haven't been making good use of my blog. The long and short of things: On March 15th I recommitted to raw foods. I miss how I look and feel, and I hate getting heavier! So it's been about a week and a half now. Had some detox in the form of skin breakouts. They seem to be clearing up now though. I did really well with raw while visiting my parents. We ate out at restaurants some, too, including a fabulous meal at Pure Food and Wine, and one at Caravan of Dreams, and one at Quintessence. The NYC raw restaurants serve some pretty tasty food. Anyways, I feel a bit lighter than I did last week.
The highlight of my vacation there was the ~9 mile run I did. Yes, you read right. I ran for 2 hours (somewhere between 8 1/2 and 9 1/2 miles), because I was just having such a damn good time running that I didn't want to stop! It was wonderful to enjoy the park and the path and the trees and the sun and the birds singing. So, the big news is that I'm not as out of shape as I thought, after taking a while off. Oh yeah, I had to stay off my food for a few weeks when I hurt myself on Feb. 17. It was really painful, but not broken, so it is pretty close to healed by now. Anyway, I really loved that run. It felt so meditative. And it was wonderful because I didn't force myself to go at all. Maybe I will turn into a runner, slowly but surely.
Anyway, I will also try to log what I've been eating here, since I have some dietary goals, and logging them will help me to determine how I'm doing.
Today, I woke up really refreshed, shortly before 6 a.m. The sun was beautiful, and the cat was wanting her food. For breakfast, I had two tall glasses of organic citrus juice (navel orange and pink grapefruit). We went for a walk, and went grocery shopping. For lunch, I had 1/2 of a large papaya (those big mexican ones) and 3 mangos. Went out some more in the afternoon. Late afternoon, ate 6 organic bananas. In the evening, I ate a veggie dish: chopped organic broccoli with avocado, sundried tomatoes, orange juice, and a bit of fresh basil.
