Raw Food Diet, Day 14: Feeling Super Powered

Day 14 began when I got up 2 hours before my alarm was scheduled to go off. I slept for 5 hours and got up feeling refreshed and energetic. I’ve noticed that it’s a lot easier to get out of bed since I started on the raw foods. I used to continually set my alarm back several times before I would actually get out of bed, but since I started this trial I haven’t had as much trouble getting out of bed. I’ve been waking up early with far less sleep than usual – I would normally like to get 8-10 hours of sleep per day before starting my 30 days raw, but since starting this diet I’m averaging about 5-7 hours per day. That’s a lot of time gained! 2 hours more a day can add up to a lot more time spent on things far more valuable than sleep. That is probably the biggest bonus to this diet that I have observed so far.

When I woke up I felt like I was super powered. I felt really awesome for the first part of the day, I actually thought I might explode with awesome. I thought that working with ‘the law of attraction’ in a state like that would be the best way to do it. The best attitude for intention manifestation is one that’s bursting with energy and emotion, specifically in a happy or playful manner. I had so much focused positive energy flowing through me that I think I could have made anything I wanted manifest into reality pretty quickly. I’m sure this is true because later in the day I received a phone call from a supervisor at work who told me that I got a dayshift job that I had applied for. This means that in a few months I will no longer be working the nightshift! That’s a big up for my quality of life in the near future. I’ll be able to get a lot more stuff done by taking advantage of the optimal hours of the day for peak productivity in humans. I’ll also be able to sleep in the dark and have a more normal life. I can’t help but wonder if my positivity had anything to do with attracting that opportunity to me.

What I ate

I started the morning with 2 bananas and 500g of strawberries. Another fruit breakfast. I’m getting pretty used to this and it’s really starting to bore me.

For lunch I had veggie sushi:

I know this isn’t completely raw because the rice has been cooked to some degree. I don’t really care though, I am getting extremely bored with some of these foods and I enjoyed eating something a little different. The sushi was a nice change from salad and fruit. I remembered what it’s like to enjoy eating something different and I might eat more veggie sushi soon.

With the sushi I downed a large green smoothie. It had apple juice, banana, passionfruit juice, plum juice, lemon & lime juice, spirulina powder, flax seed oil, barley grass powder, and wheat grass powder. The smoothie was like a meal itself and it actually tasted quite good. It wasn’t gritty or green tasting at all, but it was a frightening dark green color.

I went to an organic market which I have never been to before and found goji berries, hemp seed, and a bunch of new raw products. I picked up some goji berries and hemp seed to add to my diet. I had a handful of goji berries and a couple tablespoons of hemp seeds as a snack.

Before going to bed I ate a banana and 2 pears. That’s all I could handle for the day and I went to bed feeling good.
