Thoughts

Looking back at it, I wish I would have measured myself and weighed myself on day 1 of this.  I normally weight and measure myself once weekly.  I can see the results in myself in inches lost, weight lost, energy levels, and in my self- confidence.  I just wish I could see my progress in numbers, I know it is just because I last measured myself about a month ago and I had gained weigh/inches since then before I started my raw diet.

I tried to make Raw Ravioli with Sun Dried Tomato Sage Sauce....YUCK! Maybe I tried a little too much raw too soon, I don’t know but that recipe was not worth all the effort.  I sliced my finger trying to cut the turnips for it, blood gushing every.  I don’t understand why the smallest looking cuts bring on the most blood.  Even with the injury I told myself I am not going to quit, the recipe took me about 4 hours to make and I was disappointed with it L LOL.  I have had worse though.  I made pesto stuffed mushrooms to go with it now, those I liked J

I really need to get the proper equipment to go raw, but I will manage till I get some money in a few months.  I think I am just going to stick to smoothies and salads till then.  I don’t have a food processor, a vitamix blender, or a dehydrator……not that you NEED those to do raw I just think they would help a lot.  So, if you are thinking about going raw take it from me, you don’t need the items above but it will help you make meals quicker.  I just have a regular blender and a bullet size mixer, but I get along for now.
