Today was easier than I had expected. The kids and I went to the pool with some friends and I thought it would be hard to stick to eating raw while out. I went prepared though. I ate a big bowl of strawberries and orange wedges before heading out for the day and I packed a lot of fruit to take with us. I took 2 bunches of bananas, 4 apples, a bag of grapes, an orange, some raw almonds and sunflower seeds. I had no problems sticking to the fruit that I brought along to eat, as a matter of fact I only ended up eating 3 of the bananas while we were out, but the kids ate up the rest of the fruit along with some rice cakes I brought along for them. We drank plenty of water and had a great time. When I got home, I made the kids baked potatoes with salsa and guacamole and I had a HUGE bowl of spring mix and watermelon. I checked my stats in My Fitness Pal after that and felt that I just did not have enough in for the day and my percentages were 90% carbs, 6% protein and 4% fat. So I topped of my dinner with a tablespoon of raw sunflower seeds and a tablespoon of raw pepitas. This ended my day with 980 calories, 82% carbs, 7% protein and 11% fat. I still need to work on adding more food each meal to increase my calories I believe, however I was not hungry at all during the day. I am truly loving being able to eat all the fruit that I want because it is my favorite food group of choice. No headaches today and I did not feel tired. I am really pleased with my start and looking forward to this adventure.
I need to get back to reading and finish up the 80/10/10 book. Excited to see what tomorrow brings :)
