All I can say is "WOW"!!!!!! I LOVE RAW!!!!

Yesterday I was very unsure if I would be able to do this - but when I woke up and already lost 3 # - I think I can "make" this work!

My weight has been slowly creeping up the last couple of months - I usually weigh myself daily - yes - I'm a weigh-in-aholic......lol

I know this may sound stupid, but I'm soooo proud of myself - I used a food processor for the 1st time ever!

Today I made some of the walnut "taco meat" and I also made another batch with pumpkin seeds..... I feel like I have finally "stepped out of my comfort zone" - I usually just made the same things over and never tried anything new....I just feel so cool now.... ......lol.......and it tasted pretty yummy wrapped up in a lettuce leaf with some sweet cherry tomatos -YUM!

I also made some "ranch" dressing from Jennifer Cornbleet's book and that tasted pretty good too.

Each time after I ate today - a complete sense of "peace" washed over me and I was overcome with happiness -weird, huh?

I'm sooooo excited for this journey!

Thanks for having me ~
