  1. stinky chickpeas............


    Day 129
    Sprouted some chickpeas and boy did they stink! I thought I was rinsing them enough but they had a fishy smell. I had to get rid of them. I have to admit, I bought canned organic chickpeas and made my hummus. Does that mean I'm not 100% raw anymore?
    Oh well, if that's cheating, I had to do what I had to do. I can't live without my hummus. It's my main staple. Any ideas for sprouting in the warm weather? I've only done it in the colder months so I don't know if ...

  2. Can you do it? Yes, you can!

    Can you do it? Yes you can! (to the tune of Bob the builder)

    That is a great motto. I actually got that stuck in my head today. You know when you get some dumb jingle in your head and you can't get it out? lol
    Well, in this case it works. It is a true statement of fact. I am thinking constantly about how amazed I am that I have made it this far. I also know that IF "I" can do it, ANYONE can do it! I mean, I am a poster child for over eaters anonymous and for ...

  3. 1st Day of Journaling

    Want to get my Blog set up so I'm ready to go with the June Challenge. I have already taken Alissa up on her 30 Day Challenge to eat 100% raw for my first month of eating Raw.

However, I really haven't found a salad dressing that I really like and so after the first thirty days of being 100% Raw, I decided I would allow myself to use prepared ...

  4. Day 1!

    Today is going great - I slept in but then ate some amazing, ecstatically good fruit salad of organic pineapple, mango, and bananas, so fresh and juicy and heavenly!
    I also had some cold pasteurized OJ with vitamineral green, and made some guac with just OG avocado and tomato, and ate some on lettuce. Yummmmm. Also am marinating some green beans in lemon juice, olive oil, a little Braggs and garlic right now, so I'll eat that after work. If there's anything else I'll post it later, but right ...

  5. Third day

    Third day on water only. Surprisingly I am feeling better and stronger! I will break it tomorrow morning and then be eating all raw. I guess almonds are out of the question, now. Are the other nuts unheated? I have a whole bunch of brazil nuts, hazel and cashews which are advertised as being raw. I'll be ready to eat tomorrow. I have all kinds of delicious fruits and veggies and my hemp green smoothies, dehydrated apples waiting for me to consume. Wow, is it ever going to taste great! Fasting ...
