DAY 2

Oh my goodness. So first of all it's day 2 on the raw diet. I just made this recipe from the Alyssa Cohen Raw Cookbook called Creamy Avocado dressing. It's consisted of

1 avocado

1/2 a cucumber

1/4 cup honey

3 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar

1/2 tsp Sea Salt

1/2 cup olive oil.

Blend it in a food processor or blender till smooth. Its sweet and creamy. I could almost eat it as a dessert. What a great discovery and i'm only on day 2! More motivated today then yesterday. Also 3 lbs down ;-)

IM SO SORRY

Ok guys. i know i haven't written in awhile. Thats because i failed. I got down 30 lbs and stopped. I have since gained 27 of that back. But starting today is my 100 day challenge. Myself along with at least 33 other are partaking in. What i am doing is 100% raw foods. I will be more or less juice feasting. I loved juicing. plus its super easy and super fast to make foods. Only this time it will be more smoothie like. i want to be down at least 75 lbs in 100 days! I am super motivated not just for myself but I am also doing this for my brother Dakota as well who is doing it for his senior project. I am super excited to continue. Today has been hard as im sure the next week or so will be in detox. i am currently drinking SYNERGY which is Organic Raw fermented tea called Kombucha. Its delicious. it really wakes you up for those of you that are Caffeine addicted. Again if you guys have any questions let me know. I hope to hear good reports from all of you too if you decide to join me.

Day 7 and 2 large babies down!

Today is day 7 and I am 17 lbs down. I have been feeling great. I will blog more later but this is just a fast update.

Day 4 detox

It's getting easier to wake up. Eating right makes it easier to get a sound sleep. Which is almost worth it all on its own. I am down a total of 12.2bs in 4 days. I am super excited. I know that the weight loss will slow down but as long as i can lose at least 1 Lb a day i will be happy. So... lets talk about this experience so far.

Yestrerday I went into the store with my mom, and man was that torture. We were walking around and I was trying my best not to look at anything because, I was craving anything at that point. We walked past Pickeled stuff and cookies and crackers, But the hardest was walking past the Deli. All I could smell when Iwalked past was the Fried chicken. I wanted it so bad. I had to go out of the store because i was getting so hungry and so cranky because I couldn't have it. SEEING THE SCALE IS WORTH IT. I had to tell myself this over and over to stop feeling the way I felt. Finally we left the store with the car packed full of fruits and veggies so I was happy.

After the store we headed to the local farmers market. It was full of all kinds of local and organic fruits and veggies. It all looked so good I couldn't wait to get home and juice my dinner. With a CAR LOAD we headed home. When we got home and unloaded the food. My step dad made his dinner then I took the juicer apart to clean it when i went to put it back together the blade just kept spinning... UGH the threading the holds the blade in had finally broke. "Mom i think the juicer is broken". Her first words were " Guess we are making a Wal-Mart trip". We had just ordered A brand new juicer from amazon that my aunt got for us but it wasnt going to be here till Monday and we couldnt not survive that long without juice. So we went and bought a cheesey one until our new one came and we could return it. Just to get us by.

FINALLY we got home with it and i finally was able to make my dinner. I looked up recipied yesterdays for raw V8 and other juices. One of the ones i came across was Apple pie juice. It was 4 apples juiced and 1 carrot juiced. Before you Juice though you put 1/2 tsp or cinnimon and 1/2 a tsp of nutmeg in the juicer on the blade then serve over ice. I bleded it with ice. MMMM that was delicious. What a yummy way to end another day in the adventures in Juicing.

Suprising Combo

I was getting ready to make my morning day 3 breakfast and i want sure what i wanted. SO i thought Apple Banana. No one thought it was going to be a good combo. So i juice 3 granny smith apples and put them in the blender over ice and put 2 bananas in. After it was done i tried it. They were wrong. it is delicious. They also thought it was good. I think this is my favorite so far.
