Well, this is my first post, and we shall name it Day 1. I’m highly imaginative, as you can see, with my naming, but hey, at least this way we’re all clear on the order of things.
This post is actually being written at the end of day 2 cos I never quite got around to starting my blog yesterday.
Here’s me:
(This is a rather decent photo of me but I have another one which was taken recently which is dreadful. I don’t want to put it up yet but in about a month I will post it beside a present photo so there’s a before and after scenario going on.)
Ok, so, day 1 went down as so…
Woke up, as you do.
Then…oh yeah, I had a singing class at 1 and woke up at 11 which didn’t give me long to get ready and out the door. This was good because it meant that I wasn’t sitting around wanting coffee or the likes. Actually, for Day 1 of a raw food diet, having a singing class was good because coffee is one of my main addictions (though really I’d only ever drink 1 per day) but I never drink coffee before practicing singing because it makes me sing awfully. So, instead of coffee or the like, I started my day with some oil-pulling (a practice of swishing oil around in your mouth for 15-20 mins; it gets rid of toxins and apparently also whitens teeth, something I need dearly…read more about it here: Oil Pulling) followed by juice of 8 apples with some ginger. This I drank way too quickly but it was very good nonetheless.
After my class I had a freshly squeezed orange juice in a bar.
Then, I cycled first to the city centre of Barcelona (a 2o min cycle), walked around a bit there, a-hunting for a-somethin’, then cycled home which is slightly uphill for another 20 mins. When I got home I ate a salad of: rocket leaves, buckwheat sprouts, tomato, avocado, red pepper and olive oil. (Sorry, didn’t take any photos of food on day 1)
Later on I had a green smoothie which was quite dull and consisted just of banana, coconut oil, spinach and water. Just before bed I had a salad with rocket, spinach, tomato, red pepper and guacamole, a.k.a. avocado mush.
What else can I say about day 1? I didn’t feel great, didn’t feel to bad though. I went to bed with a slight headache and a sore throat, could it be detox already? I wasn’t in a great mood but I really didn’t wake up in a good mood, was quite in another world, and also, I discovered I had almost no money in the bank, which always rocks, so wasn’t in a good mood because of that.
Slept like a baby, drool ‘an all.
