Quick update: No more rashes! No more itching fits! Insane amount of energy during my workout this afternoon. I was on the elliptical for about 40 minutes which is about average for me but what struck me was the speed and intensity I maintained throughout it. I dropped 2.2 lbs this week but I know the surge of energy didn’t come from weighing a couple less pounds. I believe it came from eating live, unprocessed foods.
Today, I actually had thoughts of continuing beyond July. I don’t know if I will. I have a curiosity to try some new vegan restaurants that have opened recently but the craving isn’t as strong. I also feel the need to snack less on nuts. I still eat them (love walnut taco “meat”). However, I find myself craving a bowl of cherries or a giant green salad more.
I am hopeful that post-July craving living food this much feels just as natural to me as not eating meat and dairy has become over this past year.
It’s amazing what we gain when we take things away we always thought we needed.
