Day 3 - 18 day challenge

Still going strong :) and I feel AMAZING. I've been finding myself worrying though about situations that I have coming up that are going to be difficult for me. I've decided to just "let them go" and take each moment as it comes, making my decisions minute by minute (but of course still doing SOME planning for the day!)....this is NOT a diet, its a lifestye and I DON'T have to be perfect - nor do I want to. But I'm trying to keep in perspective that I am doing this challenge to see how I will feel - it is an experiment that is important to me, so I am trying to keep that thought foremost in my mind.

Breakfast:
Green juice with kale, wheatgrass wrapped in one collard leaf, apple, celery, carrot and grapefruit - YUM :) I am feeling VIBRANT!!

Lunch:
Falafel burger with hummus and cherries

Dinner:
cucumber salad with orange tahini dressing and a banana :)

Dessert:
raw banana chocolate ice cream with coconut!!!

DAY 2 - 18 day challenge

Day one went GREAT and I slept like a BABY last night. I woke up feeling so AWESOME :)....

Breakfast:
Green smoothie with peaches, cantelope and parsley

Lunch:
Falafel burger with raw hummus and 1/2 avocado :)

Dinner:
Peas from my garden with raw red pepper sauce and some cherries :)

Dessert:
1/2 canteloupe

I'm not sure why I'm feeling so full. I wasn't really hungry for dinner, but knew that my body needed some nourishment. I'm feeling so POWERFUL - strange word I guess, but its how I feel. I'm going to have some pellegrino with lemon, watch a couple of shows and go to bed :)

Raw Food Cleanse - 18 days :)

I've gotten off track a bit. Yeah, it happens. I'm not upset about it, but I want to get centered again. As I've mentioned before, I feel so alive when I am eating raw. So, Raw Food Naturals is doing a 15 day raw food cleanse starting July 1. I've decided to start mine a little early - TODAY :) Yes, I am ready. I'm going to post what I eat each day in an effort to show some accountability. It is not my intent to be 100% raw my entire life - I will strive to be 80% or above. BUT, for these 18 days, I am going to be as 100% as I can be!!! I don't expect to be perfect, but close to it would be lovely!!!

Breakfast:
Green juice - kale, collards, wheatgrass, carrots and pineapple - YUM!!!!

Lunch:
Raw falafel burger with raw hummus and cucumber and a few cherries :)

Dinner:
Large salad of napa cabbage, shredded rutabaga, carrot, red pepper, zucchini "pasta", in a red pepper dressing :)

Dessert/Snack:
Raw strawberry/banana ice cream!!!
