    This is in preparation for tomorrow, Day 1 of the July challenge. I am really committing to the whole 31 days no matter what. I have been learning a lot about mental tricks to beat cravings and I am going to try to use those in order to stay on the path. I want to focus on simpler meals this time around,,, fruit/green smoothies in the morning, salad at lunch and more salad with an optional 'recipe' or two at night, or just more green smoothie at night.

    MY LUNGS ACHE, MY EYES BURN, It's so hard to breath.

    I just completed my first 2 weeks 100% RAW on my 30-day challenge. Yeah! I have already released 10 extra pounds and feeling good.

    Week two was pretty smooth. I didn't really prep anything to grab for the week, so I had a lot of simple impromptu meals & snacks and a lot of fruit. It was nice to know I can do that in a pinch, but it got a little boring. It definately helps to take a little time on the weekend to prepare a few main dishes to use during the week.
