Where'd I go??

So I took a little bit of a break from the blog...  Going raw is much more difficult than I could have imagined.  As of now, I am to the point where I for sure juice for breakfast, and usually juice or eat something raw for lunch.  Dinner has been my downfall.... 

Another thing I have noticed is, while I am busy making dinner for myself (preparing raw stuff), I have been trying to cut down dinner preparing time for my family.  I got into a rut where I was making frozen pizzas or chicken nuggets for the hubby and kids.  Sounds like a raw deal right?  (sorry...not punny....)

I found that while I am making myself healthier in the process, I am still feeding poison to my family.  Not cool at all. 

So I realized that I need to find a happy medium...  At the moment, my husband refuses to eat fruits and veggies.  (Unless it is potatoes or corn on the cob with loads of butter.)  I suggested that the least I could do was prepare real foods in a healthier way without using boxes of processed junk.  So the rules (oh great... here I go with more rules...) for the house will be no trans fats or partially hydrogenated oils, no high fruitous corn syrup, and limit the white flour (hopefully using whole grains instead).  I'd like to reduce/eliminate the regular milk, and use a rice milk and cheese.  Oh yea, and no nitrates!

So the hubby agreed.  I also started him on this really awesome supplement called GREENSuperFood made by AmaZing Grass.  It tastes so much like chocolate milk, that he drinks it willingly...  Some of the ingredients include, organic: wheat grass, barley grass, alfalfa, spirulina, spinach, chlorella, broccoli, acai, maca, carrot, beet, raspberry.... with many others.....  and get this... he drinks it with rice milk! SCORE!!!

While this isn't exactly close to the goal of raw that I want for myself, it is helping me make a transition slower and easier to stick to.

I have found that while I am eating more and more fruits and veggies, that meat does not go well in my diet....  it may soon be eliminated totally.. :)  we will see.... but that's not a rule... yet..

So when does this start??  Well, I agreed not to throw away stuff that is already in the house, but we can not buy more of it.....  So...  I would say that this has started already- with the intent of doing even better when all the processed junk is gone...

Juice on people....
