day thirteen

i am trying to get myself prepped for saturday. FIRST REAL MARATHON! i'm both really nervous & really excited at the same time.

funny, extreme makeover home edition was not only about a boy with leukemia, but also from new hampshire, so it really hit home. (& definitely did not stop me from having a little sob fest while writing my papers).

i have yet to really dig into juliano's raw food uncook book. i'm hoping once finals are done (next week), i'll be able to really start experimenting.

breakfast:
think bar
coffee with soy (oatmeal is gone)

lunch:
raw cashews with pomegranate & vanilla bean

dinner:
blue corn chips with raw salsa & raw guacamole
salad

dessert:
banana balls from whole foods

day twelve

breakfast:
coffee with soy
organic (but not raw) berry coffee cake

lunch:
left over cafe 118
(crispy spring rolls/bean burrito)

snack:
raw banana balls from whole foods
i have got to figure out how to make these, they are frozen banana, walnuts & dates covered in carob chocolate & they are amazing!

dinner:
blue corn chips & raw salsa & guacamole

day eleven

mmm i ate so good today. & i feel so good. this is definitely why i started doing this.

breakfast:
coffee with soy
think organic bar

lunch:
marinated tofu & chick peas (the tofu was cold, but i'm not really sure if that counts for raw or not?)

dinner:
strawberry/banana/pear/lime/ginger fruit smoothie
crispy veggie rolls
spicy 'bean' burrito
all raw pumpkin pie



(of course dinner was at cafe 118 in winter park, i just can't get enough of that place, even if it is mega expensive, it's totally worth it). the pumpkin pie tastes like the real deal, and the bean burrito was a dehydrated corn flour tortilla, with avocado, corn, romaine lettuce, cashew sour cream. i have no idea what else was in it. but it was soooo good. i had them split the portions so i can eat the same exact thing for lunch/dinner tomorrow!

i also ran 5 miles today. i paced myself & did not have to stop at all to walk. i didn't time myself (one of these days i need to buy a watch, i asked for one that counts distance, calories and heart rate for christmas) so that i can actually figure out how long its taking me to run. the only time i keep track is when i'm running with my group on saturday mornings. but i'll bet that i've cut down on my mile time since i've started!

day ten

should i even bother with an update today? i was totally bad.

breakfast:
oatmeal
coffee with soy

snack:
a few pieces of apple, pineapple, mango & kiwi

dinner:
turkey
stuffing
mashed potatoes
string beans
piece of pumpkin pie

ehhhh & my body hates me right now.

day nine

i finally had a chance to sleep in today. very exciting. i also went to the gym for an hour, in anticipation of knowing that i was going to be sitting all day writing a 15 page paper on art education policies in public schools(snooze).

i have been doing school work since noon, & i will keep working until glee is on. then i'm calling it a night.

breakfast:
oatmeal
coffee with soy

lunch:
salad

snack:
pumpkin muffin

dinner:
one piece of chicken
zucchini, broccoli, string beans and peppers

day eight

i have been really lazy since i've run my 'practice' half marathon on saturday. i was so sore sunday and monday, i did not work out, and today i was planning on going to spinning class but got wrapped up in writing a paper and didn't make it(at least i was using my time to do something productive).

breakfast:
oatmeal
coffee with soy

lunch:
think bar
piece of fish
a raw sliced up pepper

dinner:
pumpkin cheesecake

i blame that last one on my roommate. you cannot put me in a room with anything pumpkin and expect me not to eat it. i have a feeling the next few weeks of eating will be hard with my crazy work schedule, writing 3 very large papers with supplement presentations, and also gift wrapping to make my last few couple hundred fundraising dollars for LLS for my marathon. I'll make it through. hopefully, with a lot of shakes!
