It was great not feeling heavy on the inside all day yesterday and waking up to a 4 pound weight loss was awesome! The weight loss alone is making this challenge worth it! Here's how Day 2 went:
upon rising: 60 ounces of water
Breakfast: 5 bananas blended in vitamix with 3 medjool dates and water and ice ( i added another date for calories and more ice to make the texture better and the smoothie colder. The hubs had 6 bananas in his smoothie. I enjoyed it more this morning!
Lunch: 1 lb red seedless grapes (me) apple (hubs) 1/2 lb red cherries
Snack: 2 oz raw cashews
Dinner: 2 bananas and 13 grape tomatoes (with a little oil/vinegar dressing) We got caught in the storms and didn't get home until after 11:00 so I didn't get to have my huge salad...was a little bummed.
Total water intake: about 90 ounces
Weight loss: 1.6 pounds
How we felt: Got another headache towards the end of the day...still detoxing and didn't get enough calories in...working on that!! Still loving the "light" feeling and so is the hubs (he still has a slight headache too). Still going strong!!

30 Days Low Fat Raw Vegan (LFRV) Day 1!!
The hubs and I decided to try 30 days of LFRV...we are wanting to change our way of eating and thought this would be a great experiment that doubles as a cleanse! We are going to follow the 80/10/10 way of eating...80% carbs (fruit) 10% protein and 10% fat. We finished Day 1 successfully! Here is what we ate:
upon rising: 40 ounces of water
Breakfast: 5 bananas blended in the vitamix with 2 medjool dates and some water (to taste/texture)
Lunch: 1lb of red seedless grapes + (me) 1 1/2 bananas (hubs) orange
Snack: (me) banana (hubs) fuji apple
Dinner: about 5 cups romaine lettuce with about 15 or so grape tomatoes and a little red onion (i did put a little oil/vinegar dressing on mine, but not as much as i would normally....my hubs only put herbamare)
Total daily water intake: about 110 ounces
How we felt: we did end up having a headache towards the second half of the day...pretty sure mine was from detoxing and the hubs thinks his was the same plus a little caffeine withdrawl.
Weight Loss: We are weighing ourselves every morning just to see how this impacts our weight. I lost 4 pounds this morning...yay!! The hubs lost 2 pounds!
More to come!!! :)
