Last night I had a small amount of food, and this morning, I wake up with a good feeling about my nutritional adventure. I feel even more committed to continuing to blend my raw juices. I want this to be a permanent change. The biggest thing that needs improvement is the exercising, which has been totally non-existent this week. It has been cold, and getting up in the morning just doesn't appeal to me. This next week, I am going to commit to more exercise.
So, yesterday, I drank my blended, raw vegetable juice during the day, and last night I had a bowl of tomato soup, a teeny portion of my wife's pasta and roasted tomatos (and I mean, the portion size of a 2 year old) my normal nightly fruit smoothie, some almonds, wheat crackers, and some popcorn. We watched Kung-Fu Panda as a family, which was really funny.
Now, this morning, I don't feel like I let myself down. I am looking forward to juicing again today, to getting some exercise, and to having a really small bowl of soup tonight. Eating just a little, I feel stronger and more capable.

The "middle way" of the mind and of action applies to our bodies and what we consume as well. I too am trying to find that balance between raw veg and "real" food (like oatmeal which I love so much.) It's tough, but we'll find that balance, and will be happier, healthier, and more connected to our minds because of it.
I totally agree. My pattern has been to go from one extreme to the other. Either I overindulge, or I am a monk when it comes to food. I really love enjoying delicious meals with the family, and so eating small portions at night while doing the raw smoothies during the day hopefully will work for me. Thanks for your wonderful comments!!
