Gone Raw!! Day 20

August 20th, and the 20th day of going RAW!!!! So far so good with this weekend. I drank enough juice in the morning to hold me over for lunch. I also though about how when we were children we would pull the weeds from the yard. Now, I am finding myself purchasing the pesticide free version of it from the store.

Gone Raw!! Day 19

      August 19th, and the 19th day of going RAW!!!!  If you follow then you noticed that I missed a couple of days. I was attacked by body-snatchers that caused some strange muscle pains to my whole body, and they did not want to return me in a timely matter to blog. I feel much better now! Well, on Wednesday I went to the Hematologist, and before treatment my hemoglobin was 9.8, and after 3 treatments it's only 9.9.  He stated that the treatments had not kicked in yet, so we will see what happens after the remaining 7.

       One thing I can say is this RAW life is RAWSOME!!! Overall I have had more energy, my skin feels better, and I am always satisfied vs. feeling heavy. I suggest that everyone give their body a break by trying this raw life for at least a week to experience what the rest of us are experiencing. Like I mentioned before I am doing the RAW life for a total of 60 days, and after that RAW meals will make up for the majority of my food consumption. I have been thinking about remaining a vegetarian after the 60 days, but a final decision has not been made. Remember my motivation of this food lifestyle is my heart condition. I have to lose weight, so my heart is not working any harder than needed.  Anyway enough of me let's see what landed in my belly today.....

Gone Raw!! Day 16

August 16th, and day 16 of going RAW!!!! Not much occurred today. I took the kids to school, then came back home to work on an order and attempt to relax a bit since I felt like I was coming down with something. Working on the order happened, but rest did not as I was focused on bows. After picking up the kids and doing the Mommy thing I continued on the order. I also made a Raw version of ice cream to satisfy a chocolate craving that I was having.  I must say that my version of the ice cream came out pretty darn good. Well, let's see what else made it in my belly today....

Gone Raw!! Day 15

August 15th, and the 15th day of going RAW!!!!! It was a good day even with the time that I had to leave the house this morning. My little guy was very excited for his uncle to take him to school today, and when I picked him up he was so excited to tell me about his day.  He showed and read the book to me that he picked from the library, and completed his homework that he stated was very easy.  At work I switched things up a bit for lunch, buy juicing and eating salad wraps. Earlier, I had the feeling that I may be coming down with something or it could be allergies. This kinda sucks because if I am coming down with something I really can't afford to be sick, so lets hope that it's just allergies. Enough of my day lets see what landed in my belly today....
