Tampa Newbie, today is day 1

[mellyc37]

I am a new "raw food" person in the tampa area. I had read a lot about the book online and was actually reading a different detox diet book, went shopping for all of that stuff and saw the book by Alissa on the shelf. I bought it. I decided I had purchased enough stuff that I could start today even though the store did not have a lot of things that I had on my list.
I made a trip to another health food store today, again they did not have several things I had on my list (including RAW ALMONDS). So I bought some almond milk, so its not raw, but it is organic and its better than giving up on day 1.

I have spent quite a bit on food stuff and accessory items (food processor, cheap dehydrator), etc. so I have decided to look at my kitchen and think of the return on the investment I can get if I apply myself!

Well,its nice to be here.

re: are you an accountant, no but I am a Systems Business Analyst.. so I tend to treat things like projects and when I spend a lot of money on something I want to see the return on my investment. Especially right now when finances are tight, this was a real stretch on the family budget.

I am not sure where Davenport is, but if they have a good health food store I would probably be interested in finding it.

Well, so far not so bad. I did get pretty sick last night and went to bed at about 8 PM. I had a really awful headache and flu like feeling, but I woke up feeling really good.

I feel full. Really weird feeling for 9 am on a monday morning.
