Quick Weight Loss Of Robyn's 90 Day Raw Food Journey
Today I ate: 1 slice of watermelon, Green Smoothie w/kale, pineapple & banana, tomatoes, cucumber, macadamia nuts, and raisins.
Emotionally: It’s Memorial Day, and I am going to a barbeque. I am going late, so everyone will have eaten, and I won’t have to be concerned with all the BBQ I’m not eating. So, I guess I have a plan to avoid any temptation issues.
Physically: My back is finally feeling better. Not 100%, but better.
Mentally: I am enjoying having four days off from work, and am just taking a break from stress.
One way I love myself today: I loved myself today, by taking my bike and the bike trailer to the park with me. It was quite a struggle to get it all squeezed into the van, but it was well worth the effort, as I really enjoyed that beautiful ride around the lake.
Physical Activity: A bike ride at the park with my kids in the bike trailer

Quick Weight Loss Of Robyn's 90 Day Raw Food Journey
Today I ate: A Green smoothie with Blackberries, banana & kale. I also had a serving of Hummus and tomatoes on “toast”, Almonds, carrots, and an orange.
Emotionally: It’s back to work today from a nice long weekend. I am so focused on catching up at work; I missed a doctor appt. for my youngest daughter.
Physically: Feeling good. The bike ride was taxing on me, but I am loving that I don’t feel any soreness at all.
Mentally: I got a call from my doctor and the blood work is back, all is well except I am low on vitamin D. Isn’t that weird? I mean, I don’t wear a lot of sunblock, and I live in the desert. There is sun almost 300 days of the year here in Vegas, (I think!) How could I be low in Vitamin D?
One way I love myself today: I love myself today because I am following my doctors recommendations, and keeping my body healthy.
Physical Activity: None

Quick Weight Loss Of Robyn's 90 Day Raw Food Journey
Emotionally: I am looking at a lot of recipes, but I am not compelled to go out and buy the stuff to make any of them…I don’t know what the hold up is. I shall have to ponder my lack of interest in creating new things to try. I don’t want to get stuck in a rut, and loose interest. I want to remain totally focused on my 90 day challenge.
Physically: I am feeling okay, no big concerns at the moment. I did come to a startling revelation yesterday. I have PAT, (a heart problem) and I keep having little break through’s. I realized that it is after I take a B-12 supplement that this occurs. So, this morning, I traded B-12 supplements with my co-worker that also takes one daily. Mine had no adverse effect on her, but I went into tachycardia again today, so NO MORE B-12 supplements for me.
Mentally: I am kind of overcome. I was able to get an appt. today for my 2 year old, and the specialist says she is the perfect candidate for tubes in her ears, and they have us scheduled tomorrow morning at 7 a.m.
One way I love myself today: I love that I could juggle so many different things to make this surgery possible. I had to find people to help with my other two children, make phone calls, etc. I was able to accomplish it all. Hurray! It was no small task!
Physical Activity: None

Quick weight Loss Of Robyn's 90 Day Raw Food Journey
Today I ate: 3 bananas, carrots (about a cup), almonds & watermelon.
Emotionally: I caught myself in the middle of an “old habit” of dealing with stress with food. I was driving home from the hospital with my youngest daughter, and I knew I was coming up on a McDonald's. Even before I went RAW, that is one of the last places I would eat. However, this morning, I could almost actually taste a Sausage McGriddle. I wanted to comfort myself from the stress of the surgery, and a bad habit just reared its ugly head. Of course, I didn’t succumb to the temptation, and I guess it was a good experience to learn about my poor habits, and how to be conscious of them in the future.
Physically: I had a very bad day today. Today I got up rather early to get to the hospital by 6:00 a.m. When Ruth and I got home, she was working off anesthesia, and I was tired, so we both laid down and took a nap. When I woke up, I didn’t feel so great. In fact, I kind of felt like I had tied one on the night before, kind of groggy and hung over. We went downstairs for awhile, and I hate to be graphic, but I had a bowl movement that did not reflect the small amount of food I have been consuming these last few days. It was rather large, and it burned a little. I had to really be dumping some toxins. I went upstairs and laid back down, and we fell asleep again. When I woke up, I felt better. Man, what a ride! I hope I don’t have to go through that too many more times.
Mentally: I feel overwhelmed again with the surgery, and the weird physical symptoms I was experiencing today…yuck!
One way I love myself today: I didn’t bow down to my desire to eat poorly. I love that I am becoming mentally aware of the poor choices that led to my weight gain.
Physical Activity: None

Quick Weight Loss Of Robyn's 90 Day Raw Food Journey
Today I ate: A Green smoothie with strawberries, banana & spinach, raisins, cashews, 1 orange, and hopefully some carrot, onion flax seed crackers. (They’re currently in the dehydrator), & salsa!
Emotionally: I am balancing a lot of things right now. I’ve got a lot of activity with my oldest daughter and it is swallowing up all my thoughts.
Physically: I kind of felt a fog again during the afternoon at work. Wow, detoxing is quite a treat, NOT! Also, I am craving onions. I will have to make some salsa! I feel kind of stuffed. I ate too many raisins & cashews. I used to wait until I felt this way to stop eating, and now I just feel miserable to feel this way. I am working on my water intake today. I am only at 48 oz. thus far. I need to add to that perhaps that will help how I am feeling.
Mentally: I feel very tired today. I could fall asleep right here at my desk!
One way I love myself today: I am going to make myself some home made salsa to enjoy with my flax seed crackers.
Physical Activity: I am still not feeling so great. I don’t know if I want to sweat and incur more detoxing…
