Fell off the wagon ...but am back on track!!


Well had a few days where I "fell off the wagon" but I am back on track again!! I was feeling so great last week !! Soooo much energy! I lost 2.4 pounds. I was bouncing off the walls and I felt GREAT!! however had a family emergency and fell into the same old way of eating when i was stressed (didn't realize I was so stressed til I had a emotional melt down) however after letting off some steam I realized I was eating "wrong" and felt sooo tired!!! and had I NOT let myself eat "wrong" maybe I could have handled the stress better !! and it dawned on me what a contrast it was to how I felt just last week!!! WOW!!! never had a side by side comparison before because every "diet" I ever tried always still made me feel tired!!! all I can think now is WOW WOW WOW!!!! I will do everything I can to keep on track now that I have realized the difference!!!

Why I am choosing to go RAW..

Well I have been researching a way to lose weight and get out of pain ..I have all over muscle pain and a bad knee (my knee cap does not ride properly over the joint) I get lots of headaches bad and almost daily ,I live on advil all day and am just tired all the time!! I have no energy and to top it off I have insomnia and run on about 4 to 6 hours of not so restful sleep - needless to say I HATE mornings!!

lost some weight......


Almond Milk I made ..TASTY!! (sorry I drank most of it before pic haha)


Berry smoothie with alfalfa my son made....


Flax seed crackers ...yummmm.........

Sorry I hadn't had a chance to post my original weight but it was 225.6 when I started this...Guess I am doing ok cause I just weighed in and now I am at 223.2 so that is a weight loss of 2.4 pounds !! WHOO HOOO !!! Wanted to share !!!
Oh and before I go I FINALLY made something with my new blender thats YUMMYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!! I made cashew ice cream !! You have to try this wonderous stuff !

Saturday nights dinner....


Well tonight Kyle and I had a salad for dinner ...he ate 2 bowls of it !!! and then said he couldn't believe he was actually FULL on just salad !!! this is a short note cause I wanted to show the salad we had...This picture is actually of my salad (his was a tad different...here it is !! It had baby spinach,romaine,alfalfa sprouts,red pepper, sesame seeds,raw almonds,tomato,and a few thin slices of cheddar cheese, just some Extra Virgin Olive Oil and some red wine vinegar for a dressing....it was yummy!! his was missing tomato (he hates those) and he has raw cashews instead of almonds...he also used regular Italian Dressing on his (grocery store kind)
