Day 11

When I woke up this morning I glanced at my watch and saw it was 10:30.  Oh wait!  You turn the clocks back, so it was only 9:30.  I closed my eyes and went back to sleep in that case!

Then I woke up an hour or so later and wondered why I wasn't springing out of bed.  Where was all my energy?  I've been eating exclusively raw for ten (going on 11) days, and I am starting to feel like, well, like normal.  And I'm not dropping any more weight either!  What is going on?

I read in bed for a while then got up and made myself a smoothie.  I filled it with maca powder and hoped that would rev me up a little.  

Then it all became quite clear when I was sitting at my desk and said to myself ... is that a cramp?  Do I have my period?

The amazing thing is that yes, I did have my period, but I HAD NO IDEA until the moment it came!  The only signs (not irritation, not bloating, painful boobs, etc) was feeling less euphoric than I expect to on a raw diet.  Like I said, I kind of felt like I do on cooked foods.  Okay, just not flying!  Hey!  I'll take it.  My periods have been getting really brutal the past few months, so to have this one arrive without any warning was lovely.  And, it explains the no weight loss!  Even better, I didn't GAIN weight through bloating.  I've just remained the same the past few days.

Oh, and also the incredible appetite I've had!  I managed to get myself full last night on all the good food, but I woke up this morning absolutely starving.  I've downed a few more fajitas, but I think I might need more!

No cravings for salt ... all is good.  

Now that I know what is going on!
