Gettin' Raw!

So a few months ago, two of my friends and I decided to do a raw fruit and veggie flush. 
Only raw fruits, veggies, and water for 7 days. 
They both quit within the first day. (My guy friend was a smoker so that got to him)
I lasted 6.5 days. 
My fridge looked like this: (No, I didn't drink the beer)

Now I'm feeling like I need to do it again. The last one was really, really successful. I don't know how good or bad this kind of thing really is for the system, but in my case it cut out my sweet tooth considerably, it made me salt my food less, and I dropped 5 pounds- which never came back because my appetite was also greatly cut down. 
Lately me being stressed out and busy with school has made me not be very nice to my body so I figure this can't hurt. 
I'm also going to get serious about my yoga practice again- by serious I mean going 5-7 times a week. I went the other day and had a really, really good class. I want to keep up with that good feeling, inside and out. My class goal is to do half locust like this guy, hopefully by Christmas, and work on opening up my hips. Yee-haw!

Note: Do NOT try this at home or without a 105 degree room. :)


Here is my fridge now, after an expensive trip to HEB. 

I do allow myself nuts as a "fruit" so that I will get some extra fats and protein, yah. 


I'm starting tomorrow.  One more day of eating whatever I want. And what have I chosen to eat so far?? Why, sushi of  course! 
The most challenging things for me will be not having coffee, bread, or cheese all week. WIsh me and my body luck!
