Well, the results are in for my first 10 Day Mini-Challenge.
I ate about 75% raw. I ate 1 cooked meal 5 days out of 10.
Tuesday: Chinese buffet
Wednesday: hummus I made from organic canned chickpeas. We ate it with raw veggies
Thursday: salad and homemade pizza at my moms. I ate one small piece of pizza
Friday: movie popcorn and other snacky stuff (no candy, bread, meat, or cheese)
Saturday: Dinner with parents at OUTBACK!? I had a bleu cheese chopped salad with 5 grilled shrimp and two tiny pieces of pumpernickel bread and maybe 3 or 4 pieces of "bloomin" onion
Sunday: kalamata hummus with pita chips and other crunchy snacks.
I also had green smoothies every day and raw fruits & veg.
Well, when I write it like that it doesn't seem so bad. I just feel like 75% is "C" and that might as well be a giant "F" if you ask me. But B is getting mad at me for approaching it like that, and he's right. Each bump in itself did not send me spiraling down the path of "forget it" but the 75% grade does. And why am I grading myself?
There's a lot of psychology to look at in this situation, but I know that deep down, I don't trust that eating raw will give me the health and energy I want. I don't believe that it will work for someone like me. And that's the psycho problem.
