Day Two arrived and I was apprehensive.. Most diets I tend to lose interest after 2 - 3 days.. But i'm rather excited about this.. So we'll see what happens..
Breakfast was the Popeye Passion Smoothie. Nubian told me it pepped her up.. I thought ya OK we'll see. Let me tell you, at 09:00 I went to the hospital for my normal rounds.. My mind was alert, I was keyed up. This was the feeling I had after a large PJ's Cappuccino. Even our PA noticed and was amazed. So, Popeye Smoothie for breakfast everyday. This works.
My snack was 1.5 cups of raw almonds. Lunch consisted of a salad (Spinach, Celery, strawberries, dried cranberries and avo. I put a serving of raspberry Walnut Vinaigrette dressing. I know, I know.. no processed foods, but I'm still learning about all of this.. I'll do better in a week or so.
After lunch snack was the Raw Oats w/ Almond Milk.. I cannot tell you how much I love this snack. It is filling, tastes wonderful, so much better than cooked Oats.
Dinner was a grilled Portobello Mushroom w/ Cauliflower mash.. This is going to be one of my absolutely fave meals I can tell. I marinated the mushroom in soy sauce w/ garlic and vinegar.. then lightly grilled it.. The cauliflower mash was what was left over from yesterday's lunch.
Tonight's snack will probably be some fruit.
After just a few days, I can truly feel a difference. My face feels smoother, I'm more alert and not prone to that 2:30 snooze.
My thought for today: I can do anything if I enjoy it..

Monday - Day 1
This morning, I woke up super excited about my new adventure.
Today was much easier than I thought it would be. I did not sleep as well as I thought I would so ended up dragging some serious ass to get out of bed. Once I was up and at them, the very first order of the day was a glass of water with freshly squeezed lemon. Since I have started drinking this as I wake up, I very seldom crave coffee.
Breakfast was a Smoothie consisting of:
1. Banana
2. A hand full of Black Berries
3. A hand full of Blue Berries
4. A cup or so of Almond milk
I drank this while catching up on e-mails etc.
I was perfectly satisfied with that. Off to work, by the time I had finally settled into my office, got my work for the day it was 10:30. Typically I would drink 2 bottles of water, but I'm trying to do my part for the environment so no bottles of water, off to the water cooler.. Yuck.
A snack of Raw Oats soaked in Almond Milk was very very yum. Lunch followed. Lightly grilled Portobello Mushroom Cauliflower mashed with garlic and rosemary (I pity anybody that came into my office after lunch). This was very very very freaking yummy. More water. Then an afternoon snack of raw Almonds.. No, not lightly salted, lightly roasted.. Raw. I've been eating these for a few months, and love them.
I came home from work and was totally wiped out for some reason.. A little 2 hour nap took place. I woke up and wasn't hungry at all, my stomach felt a little empty, I knew if I did not eat I would wake up starving.
I love smoothies, since I discovered them a few years ago, I can truly have them for Breakfast, lunch and supper.
Tonight it consists of.
Fresh Strawberries
2 Banana's
Spinach
Fresh pressed Applejuice.
I have a few photographs.. I'll post these later in the week.
It is 9pm, I'm sipping my smoothie.. My raw oats are soaking in Almond milk.
After today, I really do realize that old saying "Failing to plan is planning to fail". I prepared all my food (except smoothies) the day before. This made it easier for me to grab things out of the fridge and pack into my bag for work.
On that note, my smoothie is finished, my stomach is filled and I'm a happy camper.
Happy Raw Food day 1..
