The Rawvolution: It sucks

Hello! Day two of going raw here. Guess what? It sucks! The good news I have made an exception and have declared that iced coffee is a raw food and I also discovered myself some raw wine in my fridge. Not exactly health food.
We are in a budget crunch here. As in, damn, money for groceries, what is that? There are very few raw fruits and veggies in my fridge. Raw onion slices anyone? Anyone? No? Yea, me neither. I have been jonesing for protein and in a fit raided my freezer. I found some raw macadamia nuts way in the back behind my ice cream making supply stash. My mother had sent me a few months back when she wanted me to make her cookies (which I never did, sorry ma). So I have been eating lots of nuts, coffee, wine, apples and that is pretty much it. Not really want I think a raw diet should look like.
Oh! I did juice something today. An apple, some parsley, and a cucumber. It was really good. I had made myself a smoothie this morning with maple syrup, blueberries, and strawberries but the hubby and the four little people drank it before I even got a sniff. Easy come, easy go.
Groceries will hopefully be coming Wednesday. I am hoping for some greens (roughage, I read on a raw website that I need lots of greens to go alkaline. Unclear what that means. Maybe to become a battery of some sort?) I am also going to order some oatmeal to make slow "cooked" oatmeal, which is one of my favorites. I am trying to find out if dried fruit is considered raw or if it is cooked. Still looking into that one.
In my poking around online I found a woman who lost 100 lbs on the raw diet in 8 months. Awesome! I momentarily thought. But I do not think that this is sustainable for 8 months. I really miss bread. I think I will keep it up for as long as I can, though, and hope I do not binge on a chocolate cake at the end of it.
Goals for the rest of the week: Greens! More smoothies! Oatmeal! Ditch the wine (sorry, the lady who lost 100lbs said coffee was kopasedec on the raw diet, so it is here to stay).
Good news: Have a massive terrible headache. Am told that this means all the toxins in my body are being released and that it is great to feel like shit. So yeeha! I feel like crap and that is supposedly great for me!
