Day 11

yesterday was an interesting day... woke up with a BP of 117/80 and P 76... BGL was 177... i did well... had a green smoothie made of kale, apple and mango that tasted pretty good... added some barley greens to the mix and it kept me feeling good all morning long... lunch time i was too busy so i had a raw food bar and some water and i was ok... then i decided later to have tabouli (a parsley salad - about 95% parsley with chopped onions, olive oil, lemon juice, sea salt and tiny bits of bulgar wheat) and raw zucchinni "spaghetti" with a "meat sauce" i made from walnuts, tomatoes, garlic, onion, olive oil, sea salt, dates, sun dried tomatoes, fresh basil, fresh thyme, etc. in the food processor... also had raw corn on the cob... it was goooooood!!!... so i was feeling good, but since i knew i'd be off today i stayed up way too late last night and got hungry again around midnight... then i had a sudden urge to eat meat... so i had some smoked salmon AND some dried jerky on collard leaves... that was good too... at first i felt bad about eating the meat, but then i realized two things... 1) this is a lifestyle choice that i have made--- not a life sentence and my choices have been really good and i'm feeling fabulously wonderful and healthy and 2) i made a committment to live a high raw lifestyle to improve my health... i haven't committed to being vegetarian or vegan or even 100% raw... just high raw... and technically the smoked salmon, the smoked meat and the collard leaves are all raw... and since they were also all organic, i think i did ok... now the timing of WHEN i ate it leaves room for improvement... i just need to go to bed on time lol... anyway, i woke up today and my BP was 132/87 with P 75 and BGL 151 :)
