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)

Still at it...

Well I'm still doing it! It's been a transition. And I didn't go raw 100 off the bat because the detox would have been a bitch. I've been doing more smoothies. Once I figured out raw cacao and maca were high in fat, I transitioned them out until I've lost more weight. Or I'll do them as a special treat. :O) I was also not paying attention on how much to use, and using WAYYYY too much, which also contributed to my three pound weight gain, which I'm happy to say I've already lost. *grin* I'm getting more creative with the types of foods I'm eating. And I'm working on cutting out the foods from work which I really need to do. If I bring stuff to work like I did last night, it will help me. I ate a salad from work last night because I had fogotten I had brought those persimmons. *rolls eyes* But oh my god the asian market! They had Durians! And crates full of persimmons. I stocked up on young coconuts, fresh greens and veggies, and a few different types of fruit. I'm a very happy girl right now. We're eating Asian tonight and I am planning on having a salad, and *maybe* an eggroll if Bri makes them, which I'm sure he will. But I have that awesome asian salad I made. Here's what I did:

Marinade:
Honey
Nama Shoyu
Sesame Oil
Cayenne
Garlic
Ginger
Scallions
Cilantro
Lemon Juice

In a bowl I added:
chopped Bok Choy
watercress
purple cabbage
Raddichio
chives
carrots
Bean Sprouts
Sesame Seeds
Enoki Mushrooms

I poured the marinade over the veggies and let it sit for a couple of hours, turning it a couple of times. It was awesome! :O)

    Hey there,

    I totally forgot to comment back a while ago... sorry about that!

    You asked about art school. Well, I go to an art HIGH SCHOOL so it definitely differs from an art college.

    I am not majoring in art when I go to college because I want to have a lot of time to CLIMB, and if I majored in art i'd have too many huge time-consuming projects. Rock climbing is my number one passion and priorty. =)

    Instead, I am majoring in health! =)
