February Monthly Overview #4

A few observations, in no particular order, for the month of February.

I continue to be amazed at how much (relatively) easier it is to do this raw diet in a warmer climate.
Diarrhea-like symptoms have been the main challenge mid-January to the present time. At first I thought it would just take time to clear, as it did when I first started. So far that doesn't seem to be the case.
Reaching a low of ~122 lbs has me concerned about how much more weight I can safely lose.
Raw food is not yet a habit or easy. Every day cooked food, baked food, goodies of kinds and flavours "speak" to me in loving terms. Every day I have to remind myself why I'm doing this.
There are days where I can feel my impatience with the process. I feel like I should be making more progress faster. (Admittedly, patience was never my strong suit.)
Overall, I've been feeling well and my energy levels most days are pretty good. From an average of ~11.50 hours sleep per night when I first started, I'm now down to ~10 hours.
