I feel like I ate a lot today, but when I woke up from a nap at 7:30pm I wasn't in a very good mood, because I was hungry and had just woken up. I was really grumpy, as usual in that sort of state, haha. But anyway, I also had no food other than bananas and carrots and still had errands to run, so when I got back I quickly made something to eat with some stuff I bought and then had some dried figs afterward. Along with my nut/fruit cereal in the morning, I feel like I ate a LOT. I wasn't even that hungry the whole time, just in that agitated eating mood, which I know is not good. They say, "eat when you are hungry, don't eat when you are not". That is so much easier said than done!

I also tried to donate blood again today, and my hemoglobin level was 11.1, not very good. I probably shouldn't have expected it to go up that much in just a few days. I am also still having some trouble falling asleep. I think maybe I am eating dinner too late. I would like to be done eating by 8pm, but I usually get home late and eat really slowly.

I have been very good about drinking water, and somewhat good about exercising. My skin is doing really well, especially my pores. My black heads are going away and the pores on my nose look smaller. Weight loss is not happening as quickly as I would like, but from what I could remember from my other mini raw food adventures, there is an initial weight loss (most likely water weight), then weight loss slows while your body does other things, like cleaning out waste, and then weight loss picks up again. So I will just keep doing what I'm doing, putting emphasis and on exercise and low-fat.
