    I reached a new high today...and not in a good way...A new high in my weight - I officially am now 20 lbs heavier than I should be. Eek!

    When I started eating raw, I was already vegan. I was at my ideal weight, but I was eating lots of highly processed food. I started eating raw because I think it's the healthiest way to eat.

    I gained back 2 lbs this morning. I did eat a lil almonds last night but, not much. How weird is that. It must be water retention. I didn't really drink much water.

    Yesterday's Menu:

    B: Bowl of Fruit: Honeydew, Cantaloupe and Watermelon

    D: Small Salad: Spinach, Spring mix, Carrots,     ...

    I haven't been here in a while, and it's always good to come back. . . read some blogs, be inspired and share info on this ever changing raw lifestyle.

    Breakfast: Smoothie; 1/2 water and meat of white coconut, banana, pineapple, blueberries

    Lunch: Green Smoothie leftover from last night's dinner

    Snack: 2 apples

    Dinner: Green Smoothie; Tomato, red pepper, cucumber, cilantro, radishes, mizuna, Sun Fire salt, cumin, cayenne

    About lunch... a green smoothie leftover ...
