T-minus ten days.

Well, so far, so good! I didn't get any dreaded headaches that some people described with detox, although I've only been at this for a day, and I am eating cooked dinners. I think it's kind of awesome that I haven't gotten a headache especially since, while on the SAD, I got headaches almost every day. It seemed like I had some extra energy today, too -- enough to go and get dinner supplies at Kroger even after a full day at school. Usually I just come home, plop on the couch and, more often than not, fall asleep. I'm not tired enough for a nap at this point, which is happy.

One thing that I did notice was peeing like Seabiscuit every ten minutes, it seemed like. I don't know if that's because I was chugging water to avoid detox symptoms (yeah, it was probably that, actually). But seriously. I'm not exaggerating when I say I was peeing twice per fifty-minute class period. Hopefully any artificial soda sweeteners hanging out in my digestive tract are long gone now! I'm excited for the point at which they're out of my body all together, but I've gotta take it slow.

For dinner, I'm sticking with cooked vegan. We're having lentil sloppy joes with whole wheat buns. I was going to make kale chips, but I couldn't find sesame seeds or coconut oil. If anyone wants to enlighten me as to where either of these things might be located in your standard grocery store, it would be much appreciated. I also made some batter for raw flax seed pancakes for lunch tomorrow. I'm going to have them with raw honey -- not technically vegan, but still raw, at least. It'll have to do until I can pick up some agave nectar.

Oh, and I decided to continue the countdown even though I jumped the gun -- there are still ten days until I aim to be 100% raw. Keep the comments comin', guys! I'm so grateful so many of you are reading this.
