Well, I'm in my FINAL STRETCH YAU'LL!!!! My last 10 days of the Extended Plan. Of course, that does NOT mean that I will stop!!! I will continue to eat this way through eternity (I hope!!!)... ;)

I've learned so much on the journey. I've especially learned about myself--my weaknesses and things I need to work on within myself. Through cravings and weak moments, I've learned the importance of exercising Self-Control and continuing to keep my committment to myself constantly in front of me. I've done the best that I can do with exercising...wish I could have been able to do more. But, between twisting my ankle and getting sick, it was difficult to do more than a couple of days a week. I guess unforseen occurrances befall us all! :)

Anyway, I'm not summing this up yet.. I still have 10 days to go before I will complete my 60 day committment. I'm gonna make these 10 days the BEST that I possibly can!!!

Here is the menu of what I will make this week:


Calzones (Pg 390)
Mango Pie (Pg 496)
Cucumber Wheels (Pg 300)
Creamy Pea Soup (Pg 357)
Raw Veggie Stir Fry (Pg 430)
Carrot Cake (from last week)

I just went to the store and got some ingredients...stay tuned for photos!!!!

Congrats! When you get to 60 are you then going to extend to 90? I hope so! I'm also eager to hear about the weight loss!

Girl, you so CRAZY!!! What am I going to do with you!!!! I'd LOVE to, but I'm sure people are gonna be tired of seein' my threads on this!!! Hey, why don't YOU do one!!! :)

I'l looking forward to stepping on the scale myself!!!! I'll let you know when I do!!!!

Congrats Renee, that is so rawsome.

[Raw Angel Mom]

Thank you for sharing your journey!

Girl, you so CRAZY!!! What am I going to do with you!!!! I'd LOVE to, but I'm sure people are gonna be tired of seein' my threads on this!!! Hey, why don't YOU do one!!! :)

No way can I do one. First, I can't do photos, and even if I could, my food doesn't look nearly as tasty as yours!

I don't think people will get tired of your threads! You are too much of an inspiration to all of us. Keep up the good work!

Renee - every time I log in I check your posts - and LOVE them! Thank you for being such a wonderful inspiration to all who read your posts - love the food photos and your diaries. Can't wait to see more photos of beautiful YOU with your glow!

[ReneeH]

Thanks you guys!!!!

I got up this morning with HUGE amounts of ENERGY!!! I did 60 minutes on the treadmill!!!!! Can you believe that!!!! Had lots of Clementines today... I am so thankful that they are back in season!!! And, I had 2 Apples. I also made Alissa's Veggie Stir Fry today...

Boy, a lot of ingredients here!!! But, I didn't let that scare me away! I got MOST of the ingredients, but some of it I couldn't find. It looks similar looking to Alissa's Kim Chi, but there is no Napa Cabbage in this one and the Marinade is different. Here's how it came out:


(Gotta find the photo to put it back!!!...bear with me!!!!)


The kids didn't like it... But, I think they were expecting it to taste like the SAD version...you KNOW how kids are!!! But I ABSOLUTELY AND POSITIVELY ***LOVED*** IT!!!! Alissa, this is DELICIOUS!!! I did put mine in the Dehydrator for a few hours to warm it a bit, but it's really good!!!

Reminds me of Carmella's version of Chop Suey, which I I love also. But, there is a difference in Alissa's version which is so GOOOD!!!! I really loved the Sweet Potato in it! Wouldn't have ever thought of that!!! I added some Bean Sprouts in mine and Spiralized my Zucchini (like Lo-Mein)... I LOVED THIS ONE, Yau'll!!! TWO THUMBS way UPPPPP!!!

I fixed enough for dinner, so I'll be having that with a Salad I think... Gonna have a Green Smoothie and make the Mango Pie later...I can't wait!!!

[a1icia]

This looks DIVINE, Renee! I'm definitely gonna make this, this weekend.

I love your idea of adding bean sprouts and "Lo-Mein." The picture looks so good, I want to reach in and take a bite, or 10, right now.

So glad you're feeling better. :)

P.S. This has become my favorite thread. It's the first one I look for when I log on. I sooooo look forward to your pics and posts.

A1icia: Thank you so much for your kind words!!!

Today I had a bowl of Nuts/Seeds/Raisons/Banana w/Almond Milk for breakfast (sorta a Granola Quickie!!!) and then had a couple of Salads...still sorta gettin' over this "buggg"!!! It keeps lingering a bit...congestion and such...

I went to Whole Foods today and had to get some "staples"...(Nama Shoyu, Ume Plum Vinegar...etc) so that I can make some more Eggplant Bacon. I also got the things I needed to make the Calzone (the Buckwheat is soaking as I'm typing this!!!), but I could only find Buckwheat Groats... Hey Lucy, is that what you use? How long do you let them "sprout" for?

Gonna make this tomorrow:

Mango Pie (Pg 496)
Cucumber Wheels (Pg 300)
Creamy Pea Soup (Pg 357)

Have a RAWsome night!!!

[katchmoleen]

I used "hulled buckwheat" and it sprouted. Do the groats look crushed or do they look like whole seeds? The hulled buckwheat looks whole, sorta like little double pyramids, but quite small.

[ReneeH]

Here it is:



SAY HELLO TO MY "LITTLE FRIEND"!!!!



Is this what you have?

[rawrawks]

I had these and they turned to mush when soaked. Hmmmmm buckwheat has to be kernals??? Think I just got some. Didnt label the bag but I think they are what I have soaking.

I am interested to know what yours do Renee
