It's Monday today
and doing nothing here in the office
makes my day feeling longer than actually is, just looking at the watch every 5 minutes or so to see when it's
time for me to leave. If my co-worker is working from home tomorrow I will do too
for sure. I have a slight back
pain today, not sure if it's due to my shoes, the posture or anything
else, it's a lower back pain and I
can barely bend or staying sit, I'm usually pretty resistant to pain, never
complained much, unless is really
killing me, but it's uncomfortable
definitely – just wondering if it could
be part of my detox process in my Water
Fast.
Without eating I have of course more time, since I'm cutting the cooking part, the eating and organizing
dishes in the kitchen. The good parts
are: saving money, keeping kitchen clean, losing weight, detoxing and less trips to the grocery stores. I
like shopping in general but not
grocery stores, I would rather go to a mall or healthy food stores but supermarkets don't excite me so much;
sometime I think I would go back on receiving the organic basket that I use to receive from MamaEarth once a week,
the choices though are limited for me so not sure it will be convenient, especially eating so many tropical fruits as I like to do.
So far I can say that being Raw Vegan it is expensive,
I cannot eat everything organic or I'll
be broke, but fruits in general
are expensive, if I combine
different types of fruits is a lot of
money. I tried to shop in Chinatown to save on my grocery, and I did save
some for sure, but my tomatoes tasted like water and the cantaloupe was terrible,
I did not enjoy one bite of it. So saving
on the pocket to lose on the taste? I need to find a better compromise
for it, plus I definitely don't trust
fruits and vegetables bought in Chinatown.
I'm doing better today with my water intake, I bought
another bottle of my vapour distilled
smartwater but still thinking on
buying the pure distilled water at
Shopper - I think it might be more convenient for me, even going forward. So
far I drank 1.3L only though but I'm
usually less than that so I will say is an improvement
for the day, plus it's 3:00pm now so
I have time to reach at least 2L for
the day. One thing I noticed this morning though was the colour of my urine, not
dark yellow as it should be, that's why I also think the Ketostix on moderate Ketosis
could be inaccurate; the ketosis
might be diluted and not precise in terms of measurements.
This time around I have lots of cravings for food, I didn't have it during my first Water Fast, I guess is true when they
say that each fast is different from the
other one. I'm resisting on the cravings but just looking forward to the
day that I'm done with this fast and going back on eating whatever I like,
still Raw Vegan of course, I'm really happy
with this choice. I hope this is not a sign that my binges are coming back as soon as I complete the Water Fast….or I might need to start a new one again! I thought many times on going back on counting calories, it's the only way on keeping me accountable on the food, instead of loading my salad bowl of 2Kg of vegetables and dressing sauces,
not to mention my desserts indulgences.
Another thing that I want to do is staying
away from doing too many gourmet recipes, it increases my cravings, watching all those videos or
posts on Pinterest, and they just make me crave
more and more food. I hope this Water
Fast will help me to get rid of my cravings so I can go back to a normal and healthy Diet routine without being obsessed by food.
