One Week.7 days. New Life.

7 days ago, I woke up and decided it was time to change my life. I became a raw vegan that day, no looking back. A week may not seem like long but after feeling the way that I feel today there is no way I will ever touch an animal product again. Cooked food, well, I may slip up on but for the most part I think I have it all figured out.

The Pros:

• I've been waking up before the alarm...and not just "Oh, damnit, why can't I sleep" I've been AWAKE.
• The painful stabs that I've been feeling from my endometriosis is down to a dull feeling.
• My skin has become baby soft. A co-worker caught me petting my hand.
• My face has been glowing and not in the " I just stepped in toxic goo" -kinda way.

The Cons

• The first few days I had a dull, groggy feeling which is evidently from all the toxins coming out of my cells and into my bloodstream. 
• My lips for the time being are very chapped and slightly swollen ( not from vitamin B deficiency), from what I've researched this should go away after detox. Evidently, my spleen is being mean.

As I said previously my husband is slightly perturbed at this lifestyle change. He's worried about money and about us being to go out and such. I believe that deep down he knows how good this will be for my health. It's an adjustment and I completely understand where he's coming from. He and I just need to work on a compromise. Until my next post check out this video about dairy.
