My Raw Journey: Getting Back on Track.

So, stress wreaks havoc on life... I know this. I am living this. However, I have let my foundations become unhinged by my stressors (school, finance, school, fitness, school). Though following through with my raw plan for several weeks, I gained weight, not much but some. This was mostly due to my reaction to stress. I binge and in this case that meant lots of Larabars, nuts and nut butters. Anything remotely decadent. Leave it to me to find a way. Anyway, I need to get back to a more structured way of eating (and living). It really does give me a sense of order and peace; knowing that I am nourishing my body without having to think about it each meal. So, back to the drawing board to create a weekly meal plan. This week, I give you a meal plan that includes room for adaptation. It is raw-ish, vegan, and low calorie, a total of 1000 Kcal to be precise. This gives me some degree of room to play... add popcorn, extra fruit, extra snacky thing...
