May 21th 2009 Raw Challenge - Day twenty one

[bowie]

Welcome to day 21!

[meow]

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to join the June 30-day challenge, but do you mind if I start right now and start posting here? I've been high raw for a couple months and am really ready to go back to 100% raw, which I've done on & off many times in the past 2 years. The weather is finally warming up here in Vermont and fruits & veggies are coming into season! Summer as a raw foodist is the best!

This is my plan for the day:

B: green smoothie (2 bananas, strawberries, kale, water), another banana dipped in raw cacao powder, and an apple. Also had a T of maca powder in water. Yuck but I bought it by mistake (it has the same packaging as my cacao powder) and don't want to waste it!
L: lara bar and hopefully I'll have time to make a salad w/ baby romaine, red pepper, grape tomatoes, sprouts and apple cider vinegar. Also a pear.
S: banana
D: probably another green smoothie- same as breakfast but w/ frozen mango
S: probably another banana w/ cacao powder

Not sure if I'll have time to work out today. I'm a runner but only doing around 20-25 miles/week right now as I ease back into 100% raw foodism.

Have a great day, and congrats to all of you for making it to day 21! Don't they say it takes 21 days to form a new habit? You all are there :)

Sunny lovley day, raw family!

I feel great again, wont go back to bread any time soon, jeez that felt awful!

Bought little over 1 lb of kai choy at my local asian store, at a very good price! I'm reading Victoria Boutenko's books now, so i'm very inspired to increase my daily greens! Even though 2 lbs of leafy greens a day sounds lika an awful lot of greens... (and Money! right now spinach is 10 dollars per lb here :eek:!)

Foods today:

B - soaked oat groats, sesame mylk, seeds, banana and rasin
S - an orange
L - 1 quart green smoothie of 1,5 banana, kai choy and 2 pears
S - a pear
D - salad: apple, avocado, carrot, sauerkraut, lentil sprouts and dressing
S - date/sunflower/cacaco-balls

Wonderful day! I'm just back from a 5 hour inline-skating trip and now I'm hungry :D
I'm having clover sprouts and a banana for lunch, my breakfast was a pineapple and a melon. For dinner, I will make a tomato-cucumber salad with wild greens.

So far, so good for me

Thank you murphydoodle. Yes, I am going to Atlanta for the last part of my trip. I have been to the DeKalb Farmer's Market and it is incredible!!!!! I will go again on this trip to get lots of treats. Atlanta also has a wonderful Raw restaurant called Luv n' it live. I always go there when I'm in town.

Take care.
