Enlightenings and such

AH HA!

i have been eating too much fruit. starting at the beginning of the summer, overwhelmed by the variety of delicious fruit, i've been starting my days with watermelon, or some other melon, continuing with a green smoothie or some juicy fruit for lunch. fruit for snack. big green salad for dinner. maybe some nuts here and there. i guess i never REALLY came off 8/1/1, which i think was a mistake. my skin definitely doesn't look as "glowy" as it did before.

i notice that when i eat too much sugar in the form of fruit, i start to feel almost immediately tired, not fueled. it also makes me eat a lot more than i would usually.

anyway, i think these are all interesting findings. and they go to show that there is much discovery to be had. it's important to acknowledge what isn't working. and i think chronicling it is a great way to chart my progress--sometimes that means a little dip first to get up the hill.

when i first started this diet i felt AMAZINGLY wow. i still feel great--much better than i used to by far--but i've been feeling a little sugary of late. so, i am taking notice and having more green juices, more greens, a greater variety of vegetables and non-sweet fruits, seaweeds and spirulina, and a little more nuts, seeds, and oils.

the good news is how quickly repair happens on this diet/lifestyle. i am already noticing improvement in my complexion, and MOST NOTABLY in my energy level... especially with the juices.
