Day 1 - June 8, 2009

Well it's been a tough start, but still going to hang in there. My blender broke this morning and my dehydrator was already out, so I will have to make due with my food processor and champion juicer. Anyway, I have been able to stay %100 raw today because I had prepared a few things in advance.

Today I ate:

Breakfast

Green Smoothie
1 cup kale
1 cup frozen tropical fruit
1 cup apple juice(fresh from my juicer)
1 frozen banana
1 tsp bee pollen
1 tsp superfood green powder
1 tbl goji berries
~blend everything together until completely smooth. This may take a while if you don't have a good blender. I usually blend it for 3-4 minutes in my cuisinart blender. Just keep checking for a creamy smooth texture and that you blender does not overheat.

Lunch

1 4 inch round of living buckwheat pizza crust
2 tbls almond cheese
3 tbls raw marinara sauce
1 tble each yellow bell pepper, chopped tomatoes, fresh basil, olives, mushrooms

Layer all ingredients in order on the pizza crust. If anyone wants a detailed reciped I will repost or email it to you

Today I felt:

Good most of the day. Maybe a little more energy than usual. Tonight I am feeling a little sick to my stomach, like when I eat too much. It's funny because I have eaten less than half the food I normally eat and still feel too full. When I eat healthy foods and my body gets the nutrition it requires, I eat so much less.

My activity today was:

Fat Free Yoga with Ana & Ravi for 20 minutes, running after my toddler son all day
