Week 1 of 6 months RAW

The first week RAW again went great!  I dropped 5 pounds!  Just enjoying food, and actually feeling free from obsessing about it!  Yay God!

Day 24

Wishing I could just pay someone to come in and make everything, or just receive a delivery of the final week's raw food.  But if i feel that way, for sure others do too :)

Anyway, despite that feeling, there is enchiladas in the dehydrator and garlic bread too!  Woo!

Starting week 4!!! Final week!

Definitely having some cravings and munchies today!

Occasionally getting lazy in preparing, so that doesn't help to have enough good stuff around.

But thankfully, it is the final week here.  Lookin' forward to breaking after the 30 days and seeing what i'm able to handle or tolerate well.

I have changed shape and dropped a dress size for sure!  A couple more pounds were shed according to the scale, but i notice the most progress in how my clothes fit better and i look healthier overall- skin and shape!

We'll see how this last week goes!

STARTING WEEK 3!!!

Feelin' pretty awesome overall.  The only thing i miss is my gluten-free rice noodles... i love all the sauces on the RAW diet, i love the desserts, i like fruit in the morning, and all the snacks like banana leather, flax crackers, guacamole- which really can be lunch or dinner now for me! Ha!

Losing weight for sure, but not super fast- maybe 1.5 pounds per week average- but i only needed to lose 20, so that may have something to do with the slowness- it's my final stubborn pounds!

I crave fruit and salads more than ever before!

And now we have a RAW industrial kitchen- with the dehydrator and a big food processor... i could start a RAW Business- and i just might :)  Know anyone who wants a RAW chef or their food delivered to them?

Anyway, comment with any questions....

day 7 raw

one week raw!!! woo!!! only place im cheating is buying clothes instead of waitin until im done to see where i land. but hey, not too bad... and yeah for new dehydrator!!! chips here i come!!!

DAY 6 RAW

Still so busy just learning how to do this and finding tips to simplify the process. Started exercising too, but only 4 minutes a day...per our doctor. Feeling pretty good. loving fruit more than ever...definitely happy about that! Committed to not weigh myself until Friday... slow progress really bums me out.

Day 3 of RAW

Well, i have been toooo busy making and learning to make RAW food, that i have not had a chance to blog about it!

Everyone LOVED the raviolis!!!  They said it tasted and looked like there was MEAT in it! ha!

The fudge balls and walnut fudge have gone over pretty well with husband and meat.

We are about to test our Veggie Lasagna Pesto!!!  Can't wait!

Pecan pie was ok, gonna try it chilled and see if it's any better like that.  And daughter made Key Lime Pie, but it tastes a bit more like Avocado Key Lime, so we'll see if we can think Lime when eating it :)  Good try though!

Not feeling too different yet, but i'm never very full which is really nice.  My clothes feel looser, but no major drop on the scale yet... but hey, it's only day 3 :)
