Stepping out of lurkdom

[Radiantly Raw]

It's day 5 for my hubby and I!

I've been researching this lifestyle for over 14 months now. :o We finally decided to make the commitment & stand out from our family & friends. We decided we want to do what we know is right for us!!! :D

Our two children, ages 5 and 2, are along for the ride! We're not being strict with them at all, but we've seen that if something isn't in the house, they're fine with not having it, go figure! They've always loved fruits and veggies, so dinner is the only confusing meal for them! That's when we always cooked, at least for them. Now it's salads each night! As soon as I get Alissa's book, they'll have variety! :)

So, we're doing well, I'm having no cravings, but hubby is. He's sticking to it though, no sneaking or cheating at all! It's such a blessing that he's on this raw journey with me, I can't say that enough. I wouldn't want to do it without his commitment. We went 100% raw overnight and we won't be looking back!!!

So, I'm glad to be here & finally registered and posting! Now, off to start a blog as well. I'm just jumping right in! LOL!

Welcome! Until you get Alissa's book - you should check into (and consume) green smoothies!!!

Welcome!! Sounds like you're ready to go :)
Have you seen the blogging section? It's fun to read what everyone else is going through - and maybe right your own

Welcome and congratulations on having your family along for the journey! It's such a blessing to be in it together. Sometimes I think my daughter (age 12) is on a hunger strike. LOL But we are all hanging in there.

Keep us posted on the progress and any new yummy recipes you try.

Thanks!!! :)

Lucy, we love green smoothies! My hubby takes one for lunch, I have one for breakfast, and my 2 yr old won't eat the salads, so she has one for dinner!!!! They're so good! I might start having 2 a day myself, since I'm running out of variety. The only one who doesn't like them is my 5 yr old. I'll have to try some new ingredients to see if I can tempt her!

Strawberry, I'll be popping over to the blog section now!!

Chai, I love it that we're doing it together. I tried once before on my own in January, but I failed. I think this time is different because we're all committed!

Thanks for the warm welcome! :D

It's so wonderful that you are starting raw and that you are so enthusiastic. I felt that way too when first beginning. And it just gets better and better!! I wish you the best on your journey!!

Welcome to the forum. I got hooked on Raw Foods because that is all my man eats and wishes for me to eat healthy as well. It is good to have you here on RTF. I hope to see you around the board.
