This morning I woke up at my usual 5:00am to start my day. I usually roll out of bed and convince myself that this is what I do and that I LOVE (convincing myself again) mornings. Well, today was a little different. My alarm went off and I almost jumped out of bed. Ready to go!!!!! I was surprised by this. I didn't have any extra sleep or anything like that. I just felt refreshed and ready to go to the gym. It was very nice to feel this way. I hope that I can continue having this side effect!!!
I was asked by a friend on myfitnesspal how to do a 30 day raw till 4. That is what I am going to talk about today. I will tell you my daily schedule and what I eat and when.
5:00 Get out of bed dress and drink a HUGE glass of water. Big enough that my tummy hurts. I think my glasses hold around 20-24oz. Sometimes I squeeze half a lemon into that.
5:30 Hit the gym
a) Warm up 5-10 minutes
b) Weights
c) HITT workout usually on the treadmill (If I have time) or run
d) Cool down/stretch if I am not running late.
6:45 Home to make my kids breakfast before most of them head to school.
(I drink another big glass of water at this time and make myself a veggie juice.)
8:10 Those who are in school are gone and I start my fruit portion of the day.
This can look like some of the other posts that I have posted. Bananas are usually involved at this time. I will eat a big bowl full of fruit. This morning I had 4 Bananas chopped up and in the blender I had Mangos, Strawberries, and Dates. Blended up and mixed into my bananas.
9:00 I do school with my son whom I am homeschooling this year. I will set him up then maybe get some blogging in. :0)
11:00 We walk to go and pick up "Beeps" who is in Kindergarten.
Isn't she cute. :0) This is our baby.
When we get there I play a math game with Buddy. It goes like this "I am thinking of two numbers that when times together equal __________" If he gets it right I have to do 5 burpees. If he gets it wrong he has to do them. It is fun and I get a little more cardio in and he gets more math. :0)
12:15 We are home and time for lunch :0) Today I want to the store and purchased some of the big plums I will eat as many of those as I want to. I am guessing around 5 of them.
1:15 More school for Buddy and studying for me as well.
2:45 Pick up "Spice" from school.
This is "Spice" Not real name. She is our second oldest.
3:00 If I walk back to pick up "Bear" it is time for me to leave again.
"Bear" is our second to the youngest.
If I am hungry I will grab something Banana, Strawberries, Pineapple, Apple, Grapes, what ever I have in the fridge. That is easy. I can walk and eat or if I am running late I can drive and eat. :0) I will usually leave at the same time. If I want some extra reading time I take along a book and read while I wait.
4:00 Home and homework time with snack in I want it. Same kind of food as above.
5:30 Make dinner: Tonight I am going to have a salad. As will the children but I am going to make Home made mac and cheese for them as well. With Wheat Noodles.
If I am still hungry I have a bakes spaghetti squash that I will eat with salt and pepper. Mmmmm
6:30 Free time
7:30 Finish homework and clean house.
8:30 Story time and scriptures
9:30 Kids get ready for bed Family Prayer and bed
10:00 Time with my hubby. He is not home right now he is at training so this wont happen till Friday.
10:30 TRY to get to bed
11:30 Usually get to bed.
Now that you know my schedule and what I am going to eat today back to the question.
What is raw till 4 diet and how do you do it?
Raw till 4 simply means that everything I eat is raw and vegan until 4:00 pm. After that I am still vegan but I can have cooked foods if I feel like it. Or I can choose to stay raw for the rest of the day. It really depends on what I feel like doing but after you eat cooked you should not eat raw again for 3-5 hours after you eat cooked. Different foods digest at different speeds. :0) Like a race car. Vroom Vroom. Some things like cooked food takes longer to digest then raw food does. Especially fruit!!! You also should not mix veggies with fruit. I usually add only a LITTLE to my morning juices. Usually half an apple.
I am still studying food combinations I will post more about that in another blog after I fully understand it.
I hope that this helps. :0) You should just jump in and do it if this seems like something that feels right. You don't have to be perfect you again just have to TRY!!!!
Hugs, Emily
