I'm really doing it!!

I am really doing it this time!!! I bought a sprouter & $10 worth of organic whole grains that I am going to sprout (rye, wheat berries, oat groats, spelt). Bread is my vice. I'm going to break it! The sprouter was WAY overpriced and made me cringe, but the fact is, now that I have invested money into it, I'll be damned if I won't get my money's worth! I also bought a book full of raw recipes & sprouting advice right before this. Didn't even make the connection. I think Spirit was guiding me on this one ;)

Wish me luck!!! I'm going for 100% raw except for my wholewheat wraps which, sometimes, are the only way I get raw food pleasantly into my diet at this point. Arg. So weak.

BUT I have convinced the friend who turned me onto this diet to do it with me! I'm starting right now, she's starting when she moves into her condo. We're going to email eachother every few days with details of what we ate, recipes, temptations, and support. And we've agreed to make the other feel very VERY guilty each time we cheat - otherwise, we get too carried away. "Oh, I cheated that OTHER time. This really can't be that bad."

YAHOO! VIVE LA RAW! I'm really doing it this time!!!

Now I just have to figure out how to make GOOD raw soups... The last I made was good, but I just can't eat too much...

Can you return the sprouter? You really don't need one.

YEA!!!!!!

I got so excited for you reading this! Whoot! You're gonna have fun.

Why doesn't she need a sprouter? Whats the alternative?

Woohoo! I personally have never used a sprouter. I find onion bread and crackers fill my bread void alright. I have been wanting to try raw sour dough bread but I do think a sprouter is required.

I have used jaws for sprouting but because I overpaid for this, I will use it. Plus, it's not as messy (not messy at all), simple to use, and childishly fun to watch :P

I may be crazy but I ate a tomato today, and all the seeds in it had sprouted!!! ^___^ I think it's a sign!

Thanks everyone for support. First day is good! If I make it the first day, I can make it forever. I've been blessed with strong will-power :P and I'll really regret saying that if I slip, which I WON'T! :D (manifest manifest)

I had a normal breakfast: barleymax, lots of water, fruit. Later on a wrap. After that for lunch, I made RAW ORGANIC OATMEAL out of oat groats!! OMG It tasted just like cinnamon-raisin oatmeal!!!!! It was divine!!!

Then I had a quacamole-stuffed tomato (the one that sprouted).

No idea what is for dinner, but I'm loving this!!!
