Good morning:

Well, today starts my vacation. This has been a wonderful experience doing this challenge with you all. You are a great group of people and have kept me Raw this entire month. I will not have access to a computer so this is the last time I'll be joining you this month.

I intend to stay Raw the remainder of the month and will return on June
7th. I have packed a few goodies and plan on feasting on salads, fruits, wraps and Atlanta has a great Raw foods restaurant that I shall purchase food from. I have also packed my personal blender so that I can make smoothies, soups and salad dressing. I have not told any of my friends or family that I am totally Raw now. They know that I am Raw, but I have been off and on with it for the past year and they do not know that I do not eat cooked food AT ALL any longer. We'll see how that goes.

Thanks again for keeping me honest.

Wishing you all continued success on your Raw journeys.

Blessings.

Have a great holiday :)

Good morning! Wow, day 22... I can't believe we've come this far, people! We're doing great!
I can imagine the amount of healing being shared amongst us is huge and wonderful!

Today is my day off, yet i woke up early to work with my theatre and stuff around it (booking venues for shows...phew...)
I still have a huge bunch of kai choy in the fridge that'll make its way into a smoothie later on..

B - soaked oat groats, sesame mylk, all sorts of seeds, rasins, apple
L - one date, then about 1 quart of GS: 2 bananas, blackberries and Kai Choy
D - Tomato soup with loads of lentil sprouts, banana and half an apple for dessert
S - cacao/sunflower/date-balls

Peace

Day 5 for me!

Springtime- how long do you soak your oat groats? I haven't been doing any grains, but it might be a nice change of pace.

B: GS with spinach, apple, banana
L: watermelon, banana
S: too many dates!

[Cerellia]

Now, appart from my breakfast, I had:

Plums
Peaches
Dates
Shitakee - wild greens - fenhel
Pears

I put a bit less than 1/2 cup (1 decilitre) in 1 cup water over night, and they were soft, yet chewy for breakfast!
I useusally do the same thing with buckwheat, just soak (bc i always forget to sprout :o ). Tonight i'm doing quinoa though, we'll see how that turns out...

Then i drain it, chop up some fruit and add with all sorts of seeds (flax, pumpkin, psyllium, sunflower, sesame...) a few rasins and whatever mylk i have in the fridge. Yummee!

Sounds great, thanks! I will probably add small apple chunks, banana, raisins, and maybe a little cinnamon.

Had a good day yesterday. I went to a restaurant and did just great. It was cool that looking at all the bread did not bother me. I even had a friend keep begging me to try the bread and I really did not want it. Cool. Actually, most of the cooked food looked awful to me. About a week ago, I had about 5 bites of something cooked -cannot remember what). I woke up feeling like I had a hangover. I rarely have a drink so this was not a feeling I have had in years! It was from the food. That feeling has been a strong deterent for me when I see cooked food. I was so happy to be 100% raw from then on. The last 5-6 days have gone well.
Yesterday:
B- banana maca, cacao, almond smoothie
L- big salad at a restaurant
D- not hungry-just drank tea and water- I was out in the sun so I am dehydrated.
(Did have half of a beer- couldn't finish it. It was too filling.) Hehe- after I said that I rarely drink! That part is true- I have not had a drink in a month!

Ok, i am up early today and feeling much better yesterday i renewed my gym membership and will be using it more often 5-6 days a week and add raw, POW here comes Mrs RawFabulous lol lol. I am so psyched. Today i have a date with a movie {i will be providing my own raw snacks, Shhhh do not tell }, and a nice relaxing evening enjoying the sunset. I got some yummy fruits and veggies form the market and made a huge salad and mixed fruit bowl, this will be my lunch and dinner, of course i have to add a green smoothie for a nice treat.

Peace & Love
