Starting again!!

Ok, I said I would start eating raw in January and its now February!! What is my problem>?
Easy, I love to eat, I eat out alot, and none of my friends are raw. I work long hours (over 12 hrs a day) and I have convinced myself that I cannot eat raw working these hours. However, when I look in the mirror, my face is puffy, I am gaining weight again, and I have no energy. I need to go raw for my health, and to have the energy I need to get thru the day.

So, I start today. I will eat as much raw food as I can. I have all the tools, the books, the recipes, and the food. The only enemy is myself.

I started a new job last week and its a doozy!! busy hospital, lots of work. Which is good because I need the hours, however, we were told that we cannot eat "lunch" until 6pm at night!
Wow, and this is a hospital? So, I made green smoothies for breakfast last week, but at 2pm I was so hungry that I caved and started eating graham crackers, and by 4pm I even drank a Pepsi!! I go to work at 10am and work till 1030 pm. So I can eat "breakfast" but am not allowed any lunch. I went to Whole Foods this weekend and got alot of raw nuts to put in my pocket to hopefully get thru lunch snacking, but we were also told no food or drinks at the nursing station! Oh, and breaks are rare if any!! WTH? Well, I will either lose weight or gain
weight at this assignment. Raw is going to be tough, but I need the energey to get thru my
shift!!

There are always challenges in every travel assignment and I am sure I will make my way thru these. The people are nice and to me, thats 90% of it!!

I hope to blog more this year and keep myself as raw as possible.
