May 10th Garden & day

This weekend was wonderful. I spent mothers day with my mom in the garden. We went out and purchased lots of veggie plants and some fruit trees. It was so beautiful and sunny. I also went on a long bike ride and there was lots of other bikers riding out too. I felt like we were flocks of geese traveling together.
Today, Monday May 10th was just a lazy day. I went on a little bike ride and a 20min jog. I have eaten nothing but fruit for the past week except for tonight. I have been feeling a little weird on all fruit. Maybe I am detoxing or eating the wrong kind of fruit or better yet, maybe I am consuming to much fruit! Here is what I had today..
9:00am- 1/4 watermelon
9:20am- 3 dates
11:30am- 3 cups fruit salad (papaya, cantaloupe, pineapple)
1:30pm- 1/2 papaya
2:00pm- !/2 small watermelon
2:15pm-Bike ride
5:30pm-1 pear
6:30pm-3cups Raw popcorn (cauliflower, nutritional yeast, Braggs seasoning)
7:30pm-Romaine salad (2 tomatoes, 1/2 cucumber, 1/2 avocado)
It's 8:00pm right now and I feel too full right now. I know that I could of just had the salad... I am going to be doing a mono fruit diet tomorrow or maybe just a juice fast. Ill decide how I feel in the morning. I hope all is well and I will talk to you soon!

Daily update #1

Today is May 8th and I am so excited to share my day so far. I went grocery shopping with my lovely mother today. I bought 4 papayas, 10 pounds of oranges, 1 giant watermelon, 2 cantaloupes, 10 mangoes, and around 30 bananas! I am so happy that fruit season starting to blossom. We also went to a plant sale this morning and bought lots of heirloom tomatoes plants, a watermelon plant, cucumber plant, herbs. I can't wait to plant them and see what beautiful fruit and veggies they give me. After we went to the store, we had to do a quick stop at a store for 3 sprinkler heads. When we went into the store I was browsing in the plant section and found a aloe vera plant! I recently did a smoothie video on youtube about adding in some aloe vera gel and a lady posted a comment about how easy it is to grow them. So I purchased it and am overjoyed! Some other exciting news is I planted some seeds from a cantaloup and honeydew melon seeds that I dried out last year. I started to give up on them because its been a few weeks, BUT today I checked them and they are growing!!! I am so excited! I checked them yesterday and there was nothing and just over night, they have sprouted. :) Overall I have just had a wonderful day today. Here is a list of what I've eaten this far..
8:00am- Water
9:00am- 2 mangoes
11:00am- 1 orange
12:30pm- 1 small watermelon
1:20pm- 4 dates
I have been doing lemon water everyday and love the taste. I have started bikram yoga up again. Usually I would go on Thursdays, but this week I went on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. I love the way it makes me feel and knowing that it flushes toxins from my body is a major plus!

Talk to you soon! Have a beautiful day :)

Peace, Love & Fruit

#1 Introduction

Okay so this is always the fun part. Well, my name is Madelyn, but most people call me Maddie I am a college student studying exercise science. I started out majoring in ballet, but for lots of reasons discontinued it and miss it greatly most of the time. I love learning about nutrition and reading about different foods and how they contribute to health. I have gone from vegetarian to vegan to 100% raw. My favorite thing to eat is fruit and I couldn't live without it. I wanted to create this blog to document my day to day life and share it with everyone. I hope to inspire some people while blogging :)
