Raw Food Day 6

Okay, so things are going pretty well today. This morning I helped Nick with a photoshoot. I was his assistant, holding the big bouncy board, and running and grabbing things as we needed them. About half way through our 3.5 hour session, I started to get really tired. We were on the beach, and in the hot sun, and I just lost my energy.

After the session, we stayed on the beach another two or three hours and read. I am reading David Wolfe's Sunfood Diet System. At first glance I didn't think I would like the book, but many parts of it resonate with me, and I am really enjoying it. Right before we left the beach, we swan for a little while. I love swimming in the ocean. It felt so cold and I didn't want to go in at first, but it was so nice after a little while, and it just seemed to wash everything off of me.

When we got home, I took a bath with bentonite clay in it. This helps to pull toxins out of you. Before the bath, I dry brushed. Dry brushing is a technique in which you brush your skin with a hard bristled brush to remove toxins on your skin. You may know that your skin is a major elimination organ, so it really helps to dry brush when transitioning to raw. After the bath I laid down for a few minutes, and then I felt like a new person again. (also after a quart of water)

My friend Susan is moving in with us for a month or two, and I had enough energy to do a really deep cleaning of the house and lots of organizing that I've been putting off.

Today I ate:
2 smoothies
lasagna
pineapple
an apple


Have a great day!
