I walked into town and back this morning and I have to say, I could feel it because I hardly do any walking or exercise now, but this is a start...WOOHOO!!

Last night I dehydrated some bananas and pears that was starting to look over ripe. I had them this morning for breakfast and YUUUMMY! They were so lovely!! I want to stock up on bananas and pears now and dehydrate them like a woman possessed...teehee. I might pop out and buy some BUT I will walk to the supermarket which is a 2 mile walk one way, so it will be 4 mile all told....GO ME!!

Breakfast: Dehydrated Bananas and Pears

I was up at the usual 6.00am. Showered, hair etc. I didn't get much sleep last night, I couldn't quite settle my mind for some reason and not because we slept through the day, my mind just wouldn't stop.
Well, after about 4-ish hours of sleep and because I don't want to sleep during today and I want to keep going I decided to have, 'Chia Up Love' for breakfast, so at 8.00am I had that. There are lots of superfoods in this breakfast and is why I chose it, in the hope it keeps me awake.

I haven't dozed off. I think once I get passed 10.30am I can usually stay awake...USUALLY!!
I got a tad peckish and chose 2 Clemintines; they are very sweet at the moment..YUM!

8.00am Breakfast - Chia Up Love
11.25am 2 Clemintines.

Up at 8am-ish.
11.10am Banana
Feeling tired today.

I am going to make 2 loaves of Russell James' raw garlic bread this afternoon, one of which I will make plain.

Yep, we had a lie down...for about 4 hours...unbelievable!! When we woke up around 4.15pm-ish I confess to grabbing 4 rich tea plain biscuits.
4.30pm banana
8.00pm 1 teeny tiny Yorkshire pudding. After having a couple rich tea and a small yorkshire I immediately took myself in hand and thought NO MORE! So for my evening meal I had a gorgeous fruit salad at 9pm then at 9.30pm raw fudge...YUM!!

Back Tomorrow

I was up at 8am-ish, showered, hair etc and then I checked my emails.

I can already feel a difference in my body from yesterday's raw day; I feel far less bloated.
11am Breakfast - I made a recipe called, 'Chia Up Love' by Kate Magic.

You can get Kate Magics, free e-book here. There are quite a few recipes and info in there.

I have had a very lazy day today and basically done nothing. I didn't have anything to eat after breakfast until 4.20pm - no reason why, I just didn't feel hungry. I think that might be good; to eat when hungry, or it might be better to eat every few hours to keep the metabolism going...I don't know. Anyway, here is what I ate for the rest of the day.

4.20pm Banana
4.50pm 2 Sharon fruit
5.20pm Raw Fudge
8.30pm I had my evening meal which was the same as yesterday, I also had some coconut water and then I had some more raw fudge for afters at 9pm

I feel am eating my evening meal a bit late in the day....TUT, TUT! I am going to have to be sitting down to eat my evening meal by 6pm.

Salad

Raw Peanut Butterscotch Fudge

Recipe Tina Jo

We are going to go to bed and watch some TV.

Back Tomorrow.

WoooHooo - Finally starting my, '66 Day Raw Food Spring Challenge' or a re-boot to raw food/lifestyle....yeah baby!

Up and showered and then I had a banana.

8.00am Banana.
OOps! I nodded off. I haven't slept through the day at all all week but this morning it got the better of me, maybe the week has just caught up with me.

12.50pm another banana - I need to make something more substantial, i'm feeling a tad hungry. I have so many recipes that I find it so overwhelming sometimes and I end up not bothering at all, maybe I should pick out 20 favourite recipes and stick with those for a time.

Lunch: 3 of my tomato flax crackers , guacamole, sliced tomato and 2 Sharon fruit.

I actually went back for another tomato flax cracker and guacamole...YUM!

I am going to get some wheatgrass growing in my NEW Lexen sprouter today. I have soaked and started the wheatgrass sprouting - the tails are there so it just needs to go into the sprouter now.

4.30pm Banana
4.45pm Glass of orange juiced that I squeezed using my citrus press...YUMCIOUS!
6.30pm 2 tiny Sharon fruit
7.50pm Evening meal: Salad and I made some raw cheese savoury....how did I make that? It even tastes exactly like cheese savoury...yum, yum, YUUUUM!

Raw Cheese Savoury

10.05pm....I know, a tad late in the day but I had 4 pieces of raw Peanut Butterscotch Fudge Bites. The recipe is Tina Jo's which you can purchase from her web site.

Well, that is me for today. No exercise done today....*slap*

 Back Tomorrow

So much for my 66 Day Raw Spring Challenge starting.Tomorrow is my day to start.

I weighed in this morning; details on my weigh in page, now I know where I am starting from. Not only am I wanting to release excess weight but I also want to gain more health...HEY! I have noticed that I am needing afternoon sleeps less and less, infact, I have not slept at all through the day all this week...WooHoo

I received a few goodies so here are the pics:

2 Jars of Artisana Coconut Butter and a new book...I LOVE books, books and DVD's!

5kg Buckwheat, 5kg Oat Groats and a small 500g bag of Wheat Berries

Another NEW sprouter; a Lexen sprouter.

I have Biosnacky sprouting jars, a Biosnacky Mini Greenhouse round sprouter, garden trays for sprouting and I even have my Freshlife Automatic Sprouter, but I wanted a sprouter that does it all; wheatgrass and sprouts, and this Lexen will do just that all in the one unit instead of having sprouters and soil filled garden trays on the go all at once and all over my kitchen, ANNND I can sprout wheatgrass soiless. I know that growing wheatgrass in soil is better for the nutrients to feed the wheat berries, but the less mess the better, and I will still get loads of nutrients etc from soiless wheatgrass.

Back later or tomorrow....check back.

I changed my starting date for my 66 Day Raw Spring Challenge to start today. I am going to log everything that I consume each day, this is to make me more accountable because if I don't then I sneak things in.... NAUGHTY!

As you will see on the right, I have added a link for you to purchase Tanya Alekseeva's e-books. I have two of Tanya's e-books and I have to say that they are very good. There is even a recipe for a small cream Easter egg called, Vanilla Cream Egg in the, 'Seduced' e-book...check them out!

Daily Food
6.45am 1/2 Banana

Back throughout the day.

*UPDATE*
TODAY HAS BEEN ONE BIG FAT FAIL!!

I am making tomorrow my day 1...I wont give up, no matter what!!

Here is a pic of some things I received today, no-one can say I wasn't ready, infact, I have been ready for years and I have been raw for years, on and off...not good enough though.

I have stocked up on superfoods for my tonics with Reishi, Camu Camu, Schizandra, He Shou Wu and Acai. I also bought Raw 'Garden Of Life' Protein Powder, Peruvian Carob (Mesquite) Stevia, Coffee Potent Extract, Cacao Butter, Sunflower Lecithin, Kelp Noodles, Coconut Wraps and 'Igniting Your Life' by John McCabe.

I have been busy with laundry and housework today...very busy!

I will be back tomorrow with DAY 1...FOR SURE!!
