Going Raw Day 1

Well everyone, so far so good...at least for half of the day! I had the most wonderful breakfast this morning!

Carrots
Apples
Spinach

Juiced up and served in an ice cold glass. This was so yummy I could have slurpped up gallons of it! Thanks to the apples, the spinach was non detectable and that put a big smile on my face!



Then lunch rolled around.....

I had left-overs from last night's dinner!! No worries! I took some enzymes! I'm going to try and not resort to the cooked food/taking enzymes pattern. However, I know that at least I'm trying and eating three raw meals with one cooked meal a day is a good slow transition for me. This journey is for me to learn how to listen to my body and provide what it needs to function in tip-top-shape.

Dinner....well I didn't have any....oops! I was snowed in and instead of risking going to the store I went to bed. LOL. ....Tomorrow will be better!

Going RAW

Over the past year or so I have been researching anything and everything about a RAW FOOD diet. There are many amazing benefits (so they say...the supposed experts) that result from this type of diet change. I have decided that I want to experience these amazing benefits myself and want to bring you along in this journey....

There are a few things that are promised if one can adhere to the diet that I personally want to experience:

*more bouts of happiness
*more energy
*brighter, younger skin
*weight loss

There are many more benefits that people experience on this diet but this is what I want from it. I really hope to gain the energy and feelings of happiness. Now I am a very happy person, I'm just not really FEELING the happiness as I did when I was younger....and I refuse to believe that is just how you feel as you grow up. Of course the weight loss will be a plus.

I will begin tomorrow and to hold myself accountable I will be giving yall updates and recipes quite frequently. Wish me luck!

I guess I should also include a photo to see if I begin to look younger....LOL.

M.I.A.

I have had several friends complain about how long it has been since I've posted...yeah it has been a while. I moved, and with the holidays and all the excitement of a new year I've kinda slacked. I promise some new and exciting posts coming soon!
