    Successes/Progress:

    I picked up Green for Life yesterday and a raw recipe book while at the bookstore and read both cover to cover.

    Tried my first green smoothie of banana, blueberries and romaine. It was good. I'll put either an orange or agave in it next time, though. It was a bit too green for me.

    Ate lots of raw goodies throughout the day and am still feeling wonderful.

    I feel wonderful today- empowered, happy, healthy and so FREE. My energy is already coming back- I bounced out of bed today after only 5 hours of sleep. I feel more like my old self than I have in years.

    Yesterday went well- I ate mostly raw, but did have a half of a plain sweet ...

    Today is the first day of my raw journey.

    I feel a great sense of 'coming home' in this. Odd, as I have never been raw- not even close- and have suffered (or come close to suffering) all the ill health associated with poor diet. Pre-diabetic, PCOS, overweight, candida, tired all the time, poor body image, high cholesterol, etc.

    But all these years of living this way, I've felt that there is a different person inside of me, and part of that involved being raw as a first ...
