Day two...eating Raw


Here is a rant I posted over on the RAW blog. It aint pretty.

Well, since this is a RAW blog I'm gonna be raw.
I hated day one. (We did day one yesterday.)
I think it will get better. I hope. It will get better...right?
Actually, eating raw for breakfast is no big deal. Even raw for lunch. But by dinner I would give my left arm...or your left arm...for a piece of meat. If not meat then just some corn chips. ahhhhh.....
To be faced with a salad...well...after a few hundred bites of enzymes I look at my near future with disdain. I can "see" the benefits before me but the enemy is vicious. "it's not worth it"...whisper whisper whisper.
This morning things do look brighter, but the evening seems like a not so good ending to my day. big sigh.
I am going on faith...from what you have blogged...from what my daughter is telling me (she is a food nazi by the way) ...that my tastes will change and I will get with the program.
I told her that I am big enough and sneaky enough that I could find a way to score me a big nacho salad if I really wanted to. I am choosing this journey of raw...choosing it. But I gotta at least be able to vent some verbal angst. I think you call it "dealing with your stuff". Yeah...that's what I am doing. It is all a part of the deeper cleanse. Right? right! :-)
Ok enough about me. Here we go with day 2.

Just seeing if I can post something in arrears. (giggle. )

Following the lead of the awesomeness over at RAW...

We have a raw food challenge folks. Eating raw for 30 days...can she do it?

Here is a comment I posted over at RAW...check the sidebar for the link.

Ok, I am saying that I might possibly go for this. Don;t you feel encouraged?
A little about me...gluten free, dairy free, caffeine free, chocolate free, mostly sugar free, (absolutely chemical sweetener free!). Seems like raw would not be that much of a stretch. Well...I do love my fajitas. big sigh. And beans...can you eat those raw?
Seriously, my goal is to try to finish strong on the Raw- 30 day- challenge. I look forward to my body getting to a state of clean purity. (my gut anyway ;-)
Then I hope to have a lifestyle that is very very high in raw foods with some lean grilled chicken or at least cooked legumes thrown in at regular intervals.
I also hope to get my hubby to join me (and my daughter) in on this.
So Christie, you have 3 here lining up and waiting for the gun. (that would be the starting gun...even tho it does feel like I just smoked my last cigarette.)
