Here we go, day 1

While browsing facebook, as I often do, I saw that a friend of mine was planning on going raw for 90 days. She wanted to know if anyone wanted to join her. I have dabbled in raw here and there but my sugar addiction always has brought me back. The truth is I'm vegan for the animals and not my health, this means coffee, diet coke, twizzlers, sour patch kids, any baked good that my bakery makes, etc.

Knowing that today was my first day raw I ate everything in sight this weekend, tons of vegan pizza, eggless salad sandwiches galore, brownies... and so on.

Last night I took a fellow yogi with me to Trader Joes as he is very knowledgeable about raw foods. $130 later and my trunk full of more veggies and healthy foods than I think I've ever purchased in my life I was ready to start the challenge.

I woke up this morning planning out my day. I did not eat the chocolate I melted for some baked goods, that was my first challenge. So here we are:

Breakfast was 1 Grape Fruit and a strawberry, banana, flax seed and cashew milk smoothie (I had never made cashew milk before!)

Lunch is some nuts, fruit, and a raw bar.

I don't know what will come of this diet, I'm hoping for a nice cleanse! I'm looking forward to learning the way of raw foods.
