Give it to me Raw

Jill and I kinda fell off the bandwagon today. Well, today was about 2/3 raw. No meat though.
We went out to one of our old favorite places, and got a veggie pizza. A little less than an hour later, our stomachs were not happy with us.
There are a few things I have been thinking about since then.
One, we have taken care of a couple of cravings, and gotten them out of the way; mostly, bread and cheese.
Two, when we started this change of diet, we agreed that we would allow ourselves permission to fail. I have noticed however, that by instead of making firm "rules", but allowing us the opportunity to fail, it makes me want to fail less. I want to win. We want to win!
I guess I've been beating myself up all day about the cooked veggie pizza. I'm letting that go now. Tonight's supper will be a couple pieces of fruit and some nice salad.
Tomorrow is a fresh start. Oh! We just recently discovered that there's a farmer's market around here that's open on Saturdays!!! We will have to check that out.
I know it's only the beginning of week two, and I feel great, but I also feel like I'm on a roller coaster, trying to hold steady, fight cravings, and prepare foods. It seems all the raw recipes I try are a complete disaster! :-( I know Jill does not think so, but it's been haunting me.
I'm the kind of person whom can push through just about any trial, but sometimes, I just need to get things off my chest. I'm not giving up, not by a long shot. But I really do need a couple of good salad dressing recipes. :-P

Chase.

Dude - let me tell ya. . .we could sit and compare sins. Mine was on Thursday night and I can't tell you the awful shit that I ate. My guts felt so INVADED and I was sick all day yesterday. I drank water and chewed on green leaves ALL DAY. Ugh. Sufferin'. :)

The good thing is - yesterday is only as relevant as you want it to be, right? :) FRESH START, FRIEND!

You may already know this one but here goes: tbs walnut oil, Half squeezed lemon, garlic crushed 2 cloves, cumin powder tsp. Hope you like it. The way I look at cheating on the raw diet is that variety is the spice of life and perhaps your body enjoys the changes now and again.

I don't think our soil has nearly the same trace mineral concentration, so I think unrefined salt can be helpful. The seawater example doesn't fly because, like any substance, what is good in small amounts can be bad in large amounts. BTW- I've ne...

Cinnamon powder is used in Chinese medicine for colds and flus. Use lots. Iodine is also good for killing viruses and preventing sickness. I like Atomidine brand, but nascent is good, too.
