I've been on and off with the raw food for a while now, I did a couple of weight loss challenges and have lost some weight but I did it very conventionally! Now I am wanting to continue the weight loss but on a mostly raw life style! My dad was visiting me for a while and I introduced him to raw foods and he loves it!!! So the last couple of weeks that he was here we ate mostly raw, I taught him how to make cashew cheese and onion/veggie bread, I showed him how to sprout and he got really into it! So I've been doing it with him and I've felt great!!! There are so many things that are ripe and in season right now it's awesome!!! My counter is full of papaya, mango's, avocados, pineapple, and tons of ripe bananas!!! I have 2 huge bags of carrots and my husband and I, starting today, are doing a fruit and veggie feast with juices and smoothies and tons of fresh fruit! I'm so glad that he's doing this with me!!! I've been talking about this for so long and he's finally doing something with me!!!
So here on this blog I want to write my story, I want to write about this journey that I am on. My hope is that by being able to write about what I'm feeling and the joys and struggles that will inevitably come up, I will be able to learn about myself and push on and continue this journey!!! I feel so strongly about the amazing benefits of raw food that I also want to share this with as many people as possible!! I feel like maybe sometime in the future I will be able to inspire people with my story, I know that I need to have my own story and journey first though!!! It is so worth it for me to do this!!! I just really need to find the strength to continue even through the hard times. I know that I am not perfect and that I will have things come up that I will have to work through and learn from. I am so excited about this!!!
Today was kind of a busy day, so I actually didn't eat anything until about 2:45 this afternoon. I made some carrot, apple, orange juice!!! so yummy!! Then I made an almond milk smoothie for my daughter and had some myself! That's what I'm drinking now!!! So delish!!! I never feel any guilt or remorse when I eat raw, that right there should be enough to do it all the time!!!! My biggest challenge with cooked food is when I have to make it for the other people in my house, so that's everyday!!! One of my favorite things right now is cutting up a half of a papaya, squeezing some fresh OJ, then sprinkling some cinnamon and almonds on top of it!!! It's so amazing!!! When I was 12 we ate that in Mexico for breakfast almost every morning!!! So yummy!!! I am so happy when I eat it!! I really like what Dan McDonald says about how to eat your food, with such gratitude and thanks for how amazing it is!!! Here's the video! It's really amazing!!!
Well, I hope to write on here often, at least once a day if I'm good!!! I really want to talk about it a lot!!! LOL
So here's to radiant health!!!!
ciao
