So far, so good

Well, I survived my first day as a Rawist.  It was MLK Jr. Day, and I had the day off from work, so I was a little worried I might want to eat something cooked, carby, or chocolate out of boredom, but I managed to stay strong.  I wish I could say I went to the gym or did something fun to avoid bored eating, but I just sat around all day and chain watched The Office, which is fine.  It was pretty snowy and gross out, and I'm not ready to make any gym goals just yet...

For lunch, I made a pseudo trail mix, consisting of raisins, cashews, and a green apple.  Not too bad.

I estimated that it was about 390 calories, but I think that might be a slightly high estimate.



I also prepared my breakfast and lunch to bring with me to work for tomorrow.  For breakfast, I made a fruit salad with a mango, blueberries, and grapes.  For lunch, I made an avocado, red onion, red pepper, and cherry tomatoes medley with cilantro and a half of a fresh squeezed lemon for flavor.  I'm actually pretty pumped for my lunch creation :)


Overall, I feel pretty satisfied.  I didn't really calorie count, but I don't think I over ate either.  I'm excited to keep up this diet, although I do think work tomorrow might pose some challenges for my willpower, since there are usually tempting and delicious baked items around.  I'll just have to promptly delete any emails with "donuts in the kitchen" or "cookies in the break room" as the subject.

I know it's only been one day, but so far so good.
