30 Days on the Raw Side: Day 26

This was day twenty-six of my raw food challenge. I got about 6 hours of sleep last night. I woke up feeling rested.

The Results:

As of Friday I’ve lost 8 lbs and 7.5 inches. For more information, check out my Week 3 Summary.

The Effects:

This morning I had to turn down a lovely hot chocolate while at the rink… you know, where it’s cold and a hot beverage would be so delightful? I would think that the hardest part about turning down the drink would be the “missing out on drinking it” part. Actually, I felt bad that this kind woman had purchased it for me. As it turned out, the little boy who got it was thrilled, which helped.
Today’s cycling class was… hmm… exhausting? Yes, exhausting seems right. I thought I might throw up about half-way through but didn’t. I don’t really feel any soreness but I was so tired that I ended up napping for about 45 minutes this afternoon. The Husband said that he felt the same way after class when he first started spinning. That made me feel a little better.
Grawnola – this was one of those, “hmm, I wonder what that tastes like” purchases. I nibbled on it a little in the van earlier (the Husband is in search of a running hat that meets his strict specifications… we didn’t find one). I’m fairly certain I did not eat half the bag (one serving). It tasted good, but my stomach feels a little weird now. Depending on how digestion goes, it would be a great option for hiking or camping. It’s expensive though, so there is no way I’d be chowing down on it.
