I think I need more leafy greens.

I was looking through a weekly breakdown of an example raw food diet and that seemed to be what dinner most often was, an enormous spinach and kale salad. Dark leafy greens are probably what I'm missing that's leaving me feeling so drained.

Of course the other problem is just prepping food in advance and carrying it with me, which I'm just generally not willing to do. Its one thing to have a couple of apples and a bunch of dates in my pockets but having all three meals packed away in my bag feels a little inconvenient.

Oh well, only two weeks left, just have to dance around my work schedule a little bit. Only have a couple of closing shifts this week, so if I can have a salad made and ready to go to bring with me and a pile of fruit to boot as well as the hemp shake in the morning. It should be alright.

I think I got discouraged early with the lack of non dehydrator recipes, salads seem to be key. Hopefully anyway, I'm feeling tired more and more lately. And two weeks can feel like a lot more.

Also need to start exercising so I can test out the supposed increased energy levels and recovery rates with a raw food diet. I'm still not giving it a completely fair shake.
