Psyched! :)

Ok...so hubby (and some kids here and there) and I, just watched:

Forks over Knives

Sugar, the bitter Truth (on youtube)

and

Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead

...all back to back in that order. Needless to say, we are feeling pretty inspired to start, transform, set an example of what can be accomplished and pay it forward. ....although he says he will still have the odd chicken breast....because we have a lot in the freezer, lol. Whatever...and I am also not sure if he is planning on making this stuff permanent or not. ...which brings me to an interesting point made in the Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead flic...that the only lasting benefits you will reap are the ones made by lasting changes in behaviour. Go figure...but sometimes it's important to state the obvious, lol.

Anyways, gearing up to start super high raw...have a sprouting machine, that grows my sprouts for me, but is large so am making space for it in the coming days. I expect to be ready to start within the week. Will continue phasing it in for now.

    I hadn't heard about Sugar, the bitter truth. Glad to have something new to watch! There is another one I'm super excited to see but I'm unsure whether or not I should buy the dvd or just wait til it come out on Netflix.... It's called "May I be Frank". from what I understand, he totally handed over his diet to a couple of young guys in a natural foods cafe.....

    Sprouting machine. That sounds cool, like if I got one I wouldn't have to put in much effort for my sprouts? Lol, I'm gonna have to check it out!!

    I just watched Forks over Knives recently .. was some good inspiration and confirmation to stay healthy! .. good luck with everything!

    I watched Earthlings yesterday....... far out... it was really disturbing, I cried through out the entire film, I was probably more emotional due to detoxing but even still, I probably would have been that emotional regardless - worth watching, but you really have to be ready for it (that's how I felt anyway!)

    & yay for sprouting - I must get onto this!

    thanks for the support you guys!! ...this sprouter is pretty awesome, but like I said, still waiting to set up a space for it. ...but it can grow five different trays of five different kinds of sprouts...it automatically mists them and stuff on a timer. Yay!

    Too funny. Sounds JUST LIKE ME!! lol
    I just watched Forks Over Knives and Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead back to back. It at least inspired dh to do a 10 juice fast with me. I think I am going to try for 30 days myself. I am really craving a banana whip and one of those awesome raw fajitas. And Kale Krisps. Yeah, I better quit talking about it or I won't make it to 10 days!!! hah~! I am headed to check out your awesome sprouter. Thanks for the link!
