Raw Foods. Eating raw food is more than a diet, it’s a choice to be healthier and have wellness through the foods you eat.
Let your food be your medicine and let your medicine be your food.
I truly believe this and that is why I’m going raw…again. The last time I went raw was for 2 months in 2006. I have to say that in the last 10 years that was the best I’ve felt and the best I’ve looked. I lost weight, felt great, my skin cleared, and aches and pains went away. I want that again. So, this month, April 2008, I’ve decided to go raw again (4/2/08 to be exact.
I’ve been doing pretty good. I’ve been raw all day at work since Wed, only eating cooked food in the evening. Today will be the first day I attempt to do NO cooked food all day. Some people need more of a transition…I’m a cold turkey kinda chick. I just know what about myself.
Today I’ve had…2 bananas and a fruit shake with raw honey, strawberries and mango (frozen). I’m equipted with my bag of goodies (an apple and a huge bag of baby carrots). Thank God there is a huge salad bar with lots of raw goodies just down the street from my job. I can be hard being raw in the city. I live in DC and I don’t drive, so this blog will also discuss how you can live in the city, carless and still go raw. Where there is a will, there’s a way.
I will post my before and after pics for the month on 4/30. This will help me be accountable to the process. Nothing like posting your “fat” pics online for the world to see. LOL! In the end, I want to be able to see my progress visually. It’s more motivating.
Goals:
Weight Loss – not having to struggle and think about what I eat all the time
Wellness
Loving Myself through Treating ME better
Clarity of Mind
Clear skin (excuma)
Take the journey with me.
