Wednesday Raw: It's Ok

So this is just the second Wednesday Raw and already I'm telling myself "It's ok, next time."

I really didn't want this to be something to beat myself up about if I didn't have a good week. It's hard to not be so hard on myself, but that's something I'm still learning to do.

So, let's see how bad I did and then I'll tell you why I'm ok with it.


Last week was packed with all sorts of to do's. It's the last birthday of our great birthday month, and I'm really good about procrastinating.

I planned a little too much for myself last week and I thought I could handle eating raw one day too. Shoot, I even made a recipe ahead of time to be all prepared.

My raw day was also the day I decided to help out in my daughters class. No biggie, people eat raw all the time and leave their house. I had a nice breakfast under my belt - lots of fruit and some raw nuts, some tea and a glass of cashew milk.

I made a great (almost raw) soup from The 3-Day Cleanse book (great recipes by the way and a very good and gentle cleanse if you're looking for one).

                

 Let's just say that the kindergardners and my daughter thought it looked disgusting, but it was yummy. Some carrots and apple rounded everything out. My lunch date with my daughter was awesome.
              

I left and ran many errands, then came home starving. That's when my raw day ended short.
I ate a turkey sandwich with cheese, a coke and I think I even had a slice of my yummy birthday cake my mom made me.

I was upset with myself and ready to head this one up as an epic fail, but I decided to be better to myself than that.

It was my birthday month too. I'm not going to feel bad about having a slice of my cake, or even falling off and having a coke. I'm pleased with even trying this out and have decided to just look forward and be excited for what's to come.

I also had another very healthy and delicious meal out of the soup the next day. I finished off the pepper soup with some kale chips the next day and felt even better about eating my slice of cake.

Anyone else over beating them selves up about their diet? Me too.
