I'm on day three of complete rest. I just woke up and I don't want to recline all day. I don't know how sick people do this. I'll never take my mobility for granted again.
Today also begins day three of raw. I've felt a lot lighter the last three days despite sitting around like a sack of potatoes. I've cut my caffeine consumption in half and have not noticed a big energy drain. For dessert I've been having a big bowl of frozen fruit with cinnamon, almond extract and a cut up dried date or two. It's so sweet! In fact last night it was too sweet. After eating it I felt the sluggishness I would feel after two trays of cookies. Not as extreme, but the same type of sensation. So, my new goal is to cut way down on my dessert portion and ditch the dates. They are sweeter than candy. While I'm inclined to eat them because I'm a sugar junkie, I'm also a little over-inclined. Basically I eat them when I don't want to which makes me think it's a problem. Plus, I didn't come this far to substitute white sugars for natural sugars. To some extent, sugar is sugar. And I don't want to be ruled by it, period.
