Well, we've made it one week! That's a quarter way to our committed thirty days raw, basically. Today was a good day, although I have been experiencing some detox symptoms. A few trips to the bathroom as well as a sore throat, a headache, and being a little tired. My husband is stoked every time I tell him about a symptom because he knows that it means that I'm getting toxins out. It's a great attitude to have, and I'm glad he's here to remind me of the bright side of all these detox symptoms.
We went to a vegetarian restaurant in Long Beach today to celebrate our 7th day raw. Zephyr on 4th and L.B. Blvd. was awesome. I didn't even read the menu besides the raw section on the back, because I didn't want to be tempted, but they have vegan options. Nick and I each got a raw Spring Roll for $6. It was all we needed, although we each ordered more, thinking it would be small. The wrap was a collard green, stuffed with cucumbers, carrots, sprouts, and a tahini ginger dressing.
I also got the pesto meal. It was $11 and came with pasta (made out of zucchini), raw soup (which I did not care for at all) and a small salad. Nick got a salad. On the way out, we ran into a homeless man, who we were able to give our leftovers to.
The place was really cute, with a mellow, coffee shop atmosphere. I'll definitely go back on my way to Buffalo Exchange, but I wouldn't make the trip to Long Beach just for it.
I made a great Mango-Coconut Pie today, which I will post pics of as well as the recipe tomorrow.
Have a Blessed Night!
