Raw Food Rehab

Two weeks ago I joined up with Penni Shelton from Real Food Tulsa.  She's running an experiment with a bunch of us who signed up to be guinea pigs.  We eat as well as we can, talking, blogging, experimenting and listening to her ideas on diet, exercise and well-being.  I lost 5 pounds the first week and none the second.  Hope to tweak a few things for this week.  One is to do a food journal and see where I may need some improvements.  I'm also trying to stop eating earlier in the evening...as I was eating pretty late before and would wake not feeling so great.  So I finish eating between 7pm and 8pm.

Here's what the first three days this week look like:

Sunday June 14th:

2.5 Litres of water (10 cups)
Hulk apple sauce (three apples, small bunch parsley, tbsp. Vitamineral Green

Stopped eating at 6:45pm
