Cooler Raiders

Yesterday was play play play. We got all the games out that seem to collect dust when the oldest two are back at school.

My youngest child thought it was Christmas he was fascinated with his sisters Dora backpack that is full of fun games.

In fact he is playing with the domino's as i type. ((Hugs))

Yesterday would of been Day 6 of my fast but I woke up and decided I was going to break it for the day.
At no stage had I been hungry or felt deprived,I felt light and clean all week.

I always do mini fasts a couple of days a week and I fast when waking everyday until 12pm.

For you guys out there that are not Raw please realise when us raw dudes do this we are in control of our eating habits we do this to clean and rest our body (we are at an higher level of raw).

Please research fasting before you ever try it, please don't just do it, there are ways of starting and finishing a fast so not to cause any problems.

I don't very often just water fast I tend to do a day of smoothies or juices even sometimes a combination of both.

This one I needed purely to release a couple of extra pounds I had gained.

I released 5lb in 5 days by mostly drinking smoothies and loads of water.
So I had achieved my reason for fasting yesterday that I decided to break it for the day.....

Friday is fruit pick up day and we had a ton of fruit in the cooler yesterday that would of started to spoil if not eaten in it's natural form.

Anything that I know is not going to be eaten in time I tend to freeze,this is so rare that happens.

There are so many benefits to eating this way, but one which works for the children is the freedom of it all.

They are never forced to eat something, they listen to their body!!!!

I am under no stress to prepare food then to see it wasted at the end.(Our old processed cooked food life)

No preparation or clean up is necessary.

I have some really big bowls one holds the fruit we intend to eat the other for all the peels. We sit on the carpet peel, chat, job done nobody is under pressure to sit a certain way and they eat to their individual needs.

My oldest son had the following yesterday:

500 ml Fresh Orange juice
900 ml Smoothie
900 ml smoothie yes really again
2 large Bananas
2 Raw Bars (called NAKED bars, you can get them in most supermarkets now)
900 ml smoothie
Curried veg topped with boiled egg (eaten 1-2 times a week, they are veggie not vegans)
3 chopped up apples
6 satsumas
2 slices of Rye Toast with nut butter (again supermarket)
Strawberries, Banana, Grapes and raisins
900 ml smoothie
He also has a 700 ml bottle that is re-filled with water through out the day.

He is also free to go to the larder when he wants to graze on any dried fruits,nuts and Granola.

And I indulged in my banana, honey, cinnamon and nut butter obsession...lol

Oh It was so good to chew you again Mr Banana I had not realised I had missed you soooooooooo Muchhhhhh !!!lol.

Oh nearly forgot the children had the banana crumble version of my obsession...

So all in all a really free day.

I was intending to fast today then as I was preparing the children's lunch of which was a banana and rye sandwich and before I knew it I was spiralizing a couple of apples and peeling a carrot and cucumber,Mixed in my curry powder Yummmmm

I was obviously not meant to fast all day today I listen to my body.

Now I am fasting for the rest of the day and we will see what tomorrow brings us.

The day is coming to an end already I can see the night moving in from beyond the window.

Daddy is home tonight yippee!

So I will bid you all Good Night.

Have A Beautiful Evening.

In - light Freedom xx
