Great day - healthy life happy life!

Jay has been away on a work trip for over a week and he won't be back for another week. It's hard not having him home, but everything has gone well so far... well, actually a BUNCH of stuff has happened but I made the goal to not complain, and to not tell Jay about all the things that aren't going so well and now I don't remember them anymore - weird but cool!
I really wanted to eat more raw fruits and veggies while Jay was away and I've been doing great at that. Most days I've eaten healthy fruits and veggies till dinner and then I eat a cooked dinner (there have been a few days when I was doing super great and then at night I ate ice cream!!!!! :(  but oh well....)
Today I ate only raw foods and I feel so happy. I don't feel deprived at all.
I went to Costco and bought  lots of DELICIOUS black grapes, persimons (which are still a bit green but will hopefully ripen and taste just like the ones my mom used to buy for our family back in Portugal), lots of tomatoes, some champagne mangoes (they don't look very good, but I'm hoping that these too will ripen and be super sweet), big avocados, and lots of peaches!!!!!!!
So today I had a huge smoothie (bananas, dried fruit, spinach, water and maca) as a late breakfast, then around 2:30pm, for lunch, I had the juice of lots of celery, carrots, and 2 apples. For dinner I had a peach, and raw soup - half avocado, and half tomato cut into small pieces, and then I blended a little garlic, water, spinach, celery and half tomato!!!!! yum, yum, it was SOOOOOOOOO good. I added a little bit of tampenade (because I thought I would want a saltier taste but it wasn't even necessary) and a little bit of mushrooms.
Oh, I also ate grapes while preparing my dinner ;) and ate a handful of wallnuts earlier on.
I did FHE with the kids, they wanted to sing more and read more books and i was really patient with them. Everything went well.
Now I need to go sleep!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS- tomorrow I want to write a list of my "Pain and Pleasure" related to eating a healthier diet - a raw diet - fruits and veggies. I want to list all the things that are hurting me if I keep giving in to my food addictions, and a list of all the blessings I can attain as I eat raw.

IMPORTANT - I've expressed my gratitude to Heavenly Father - He helped me stay on course today. He's the best! I love Him.
