Ok, since dropping off the raw bus I have been MISERABLE!
To be relatively clean about it all, I haven't completely healed since the baby was born and hard stools make it just as bad as it was in the weeks following her birth. I attribute it mostly to the "re-tox" I've been going through. I had no idea how big a difference raw would really make until now. And I'm SICK of hurting. My stomach hurts all day; I'm gassy beyond belief; and I'm BLOATED. So I have to find a happy medium in all of this mess. So, a word of wisdom to all who are thinking about seriously trying Raw sometime, be ready to make the change pretty permanent.
Interesting factoid: Brewer's Yeast (commonly believed to help increase a mother's milk supply)has 100 calories per 2 Tablespoon serving, plus about 4g of dietary fiber and 15g of protein! If I was worried about getting enough calories on a mostly raw diet, I needn't be. There are so many supplements out there that are easily added to a smoothie. Granted, most of them aren't raw, or aren't completely organic, but they make me feel better about them than, say, Oreos and pasteurized milk.
In other news, my dog swallowed half a corncob whole today.
His new name is Corn Cob.
Tomorrow I go back to my real job. This should be interesting; I've only been out of the office for three months. I should have babies more often! (Hahaha, JK!)
