Wow, wow, wow. What a week.

First off, the husband and I… Well, we almost made it. We got to dinner on the fourth day of raw eating, we were in the city and didn’t want to head home in peak hour (peak hour public transport on a hot day? Smelly!)… We ended up going to one of our favourite places to have a steak sandwich and a heap of veggies.

To be honest? I don’t feel like we failed and I don’t regret the meal.

First, the meal was mostly veggies with an excellent quality steak sandwich on turkish bread. If you’re going to do it, we did it with good quality that I wouldn’t question in terms of health.

And the not failure?

My husband and I did nearly four days of completely raw eating – Friday, Saturday, Sunday and most of Monday (he has Monday and Tuesday off). Above and beyond any other days of the week, those are the days we go out the most, we eat the most, so on and so forth.

I consider what we did to be an amazingly awesome success.

We learned a heap about our bodies, our selves, our will power and about eating raw in general. We feel good about how far we have come and have even decided on working more raw eating into our general lifestyle.

So, yep, I’m calling this one a victory.

Especially since, even in that relatively small amount of time, our stomachs shrank even though it seemed like were were eating heaps of fruit and veggies.

I’ve been extremely sensitive emotionally today for some reason (blame it on the hormones?), but I am feeling fantastic about having done this.
