3rd day raw!

[terry brown]

Hello everyone,
This is a wonderful discussion board. I could spend all day reading!!!
Today is my third day raw and I just know this is the right way for me to go.
I have been 'thinking' about going raw for may years.
I got to the point where I was at about 80 percent. I read Alissa's book on Saturday and it really spoke to me. I realized if I did not go all the way I probably never would.
Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself!

Hey there! I am on my third day raw too- doing Alissa's challenge as outlined in her book. I re-read he book on Saturday and just decided to commit myself and GO FOR IT!

Glad you're here! :)

Thank you everyone!:)

Today is day 4 and I have to say I LOVE IT!!!
My energy is good and i look forward to all the benefits that come with this life style change.
It really makes a lot of sense to eat this way.
I also can't believe I am doing it with such ease!
I have had no desire what so ever for cooked food.
I felt like this when I became a Vegan 18 years ago.

Oh, I must say my husband is in this with me...I am VERY BLESSED. It is gonna be a real challenge for him, but he is interested and even wants to make some of the recipies.

We ordered an excalibur last night and he is eager to make some breads for substance.
I am in to making recipes now, which I have not been in years!

How are you doing with it Shine? Best wishes to you!!!

Hey Terry - I'm doing great as well! I absolutely love how I am feeling even with one headache and a bit of gas :o....it's all worth it!

My hubby is going to start with me too :) How wonderful to have such supportive partners!! He is doing dinners and a snack at this point until he finishes off the bread and peanut butter he got.

I want to put in my order for an Excalibur too.....hoping that with the paycheck this week and a bit from savings we can swing it.

Hope today continues to go great for you!

This is wonderful! It only gets better and better! You haven't seen anything yet! LOVE IT!!!:D

[terry brown]

Shine, too funny, my husband is finishing off the last of the bread and protein bars!

Day 6!!!
Yesterday I felt emotional,but better today.
My husband Steve made a DELICIOUS dish last night. Zuccuinni pasta with a pesto sauce and tomato sauce.
I woke up last night feeling good food running through my veins. Interesting feeling.
There are so many choices and I truly feel I have steped into a NEW WORLD!
It is all making perfect sense to me now why this is the way to eat for vibrant health and vibrant energy.
Alissa's book helped so much. Before I was reading tons of books and did not know where to start as I thought I had to do it PERFECT.
Her laid back message of keep it simple and just go for it really helped me.
I am doing what is right for me now and it may change later. Maybe I will eat less nuts, more greens, fast, who knows?
The important thing is I am finally all raw.
Look at all this energy, chatting away here!!!
By the way, this message board has GOOD ENERGY, I like it.
Off to do my yoga and start my day.
Oh, the Excaliber came yesterday. I will be organizing my kitchen and making good food this weekend!
Terry
Shine.....I saw you were asked to speak...awesome! How is it going food wise for you? Well, I hope.

[Veganforlife]

TB? That is so cool! You are "getting" it! YAY for you!!! :D

[Shine]

Yeah, speaking to a high school Food Trades class - so cool! Gonna get some stuff together this weekend and cross my fingers!

Glad you're doing so well. May 5 for me and I am loving it. Munching on cucumbers and Alissa's guac for lunch. I am hoping to order my Excalibur this weekend but I may have to wait another pay period cause the cold is a comin' and we need extra oil....part of life I guess.

So cute our hubbies are doing the same "finish off the food" thing. JJ ate the colard wraps with me last night then had ritz crackers for "dessert" saying "when I am done these I am NEVER buying anymore!" LOVE IT!

This is such a positive board with great motivating energy and I'm glad to be a part too!

[Veganforlife]

How did it go? What did you do/speak/show???

[Shine]

Going to speak next week - grades and all the work that goes with them were this week so I had no extra time.... Monday's the day!

[Veganforlife]

Okay! Let us know how it goes!!!
