Mel's Journey to becoming Raw!

Hi there, my name is Melissa, and I'm starting this journal because I've made the decision to finally go raw. I've gone raw in the past, with great results. I just need to surround myself with supportive people, and stick to what I know is the right choice for me. :O)

I'm excited!

So I just got back from Whole Foods, and picked up a few things I've *really* been wanting to buy the last couple of months. I was able to find Maca, Mesquite, and Caoco powder! I'm super stoked. Also grabbed a couple of young coconuts, field greens, cucumbers, watercress, mangos, oranges, banannas, grapefruit, and apples. Tomorrow I'm going to make some kind of smoothie with the maca, caoco, rice milk, and banannas. My plan is to have a big salad for lunch, and I'm still trying to figure out what I'll have for dinner. Maybe a fruit salad?? Tonight I'm finishing up eating the garden burger in my freezer. I topped it with an organic whole wheat bun, organic tomatoes, watercress, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, avocado, and zesty sprouts. I know it's not raw, but it's better to eat this than the beef chili my husband has on the stove. Yuck! It didn't even smell good. I have had alot of people telling me that going cold turkey is pretty brutal. So I'm just going to take it one day at a time and just eat as healthy as possible. :O)

So I have changed this blog to reflect my recent changes in my diet to becoming raw. So you will see former posts of when I was not raw. LOL Just wanted to clear that up. I'm spending the next couple of days getting prepared with recipies, and food that I need. I'm really excited! I would love to meet other people who have gone raw, and how you made the transition. Books you read, things you did that helped, etc. So feel free to email me or leave me a comment!
