Raw Eating Week – Day Three

We’ve made it to day three of raw eating!

With plenty of fruit, vegetables, raw nuts, seeds and a visit for sashimi (raw fish), we have made it to day three.

My husband has had a harder time with me, dealing with hunger, his body adjusting to no meat except a bit of salmon sashimi and the other fun detox things like headaches. At my insistence (to help him stay motivate), I’ve reminded him to get on the scale every morning. As of this morning, he already lost four pounds. I am incredibly happy for him, as his weight tends to bother him (even though he’s six inches taller but (was) only about ten pounds heavier than me).

My journey into 100% raw hasn’t been that much of a shock. Giving up the cooking has been easier than I thought it would be and giving up the meat when I was only eating it occasionally has been even easier.

I’m a bit disappointed at things at the moment, though. Where the husband has lost four pounds, I have gained four. It’s been a long time since Time of Month has made my weight change, so I can’t blame it on that. I don’t feel bloated or big or anything. I just happen to be four pounds heavier. Sigh.

Actual TOM hasn’t even started yet, though it should in a day or two. Always nice to have when you’re already in a bad mood.

I know I shouldn’t put so much riding on the scale, but I have a goal of getting to 200 pounds (if not further down) before the husband and I start trying to conceive. A lot of other things have to fall in place as well before we start, but I would at least like to have my body ready to go so we can start whenever we feel like it.

Don’t worry; I’m not getting into self-pity. I’ll be bright and cheery tomorrow. I just feel like I haven’t been getting as much out of my sleep lately, so I’ve been a bit more tired than usual lately.

The vacation can’t come soon enough…
