    Wow.
    Yesterday was hard. HARD. I felt awful from the Lyme die-off and all I wanted to do was eat. Old habits. I wanted comfort foods. Juice was NOT what I wanted! I know the first 4 days are the hardest so I am going to do whatever it takes to get through them. I took a long hot salt bath, along with a massage and other, ahem, parts of the 'program' and felt ok after.

    A couple of you have asked for this recipe and I thought I would post it in case anyone wanted to try it. I got this from a raw foods teacher (Kathy Ramsey, Nature's Raw Energy) here near my hometown. I'm not sure how similar this is to Alissa's recipe, or if there are any similarities at all. This stuff is AWESOME!

    1 c. buckwheat groats - soaked
    1 c. sunflower seeds - soaked
    5 baby carrots

    Well - it's day 18. I'm grumpy because of the dehydrator ordeal with my dh... sigh...

    I was getting really sad because I want to use the dehydrtor - so dh picked up that I was being really quiet - and so he finally set up the dehydrator. No he didn't put up the shelves, instead - he took my coffee table put it into the kitchen and set the dehydrator on that. OKay - now I can't open the cupboard - but hey I'm not going to complain! At least it's out of the box and somewhere ...
