So its been a minute since I've been the site but I'm still going strong and enjoying every minute of my raw journey.......Monday I will be going into my 4th week and I have to say I feel very empowered by what I have experienced so far......I would say 80-85% of what I eat is raw, I have been making adjustments along my way as I learn more and more about what is raw and what is not. I have traded in soy milk for hemp milk and almond milk. Still eating some peanut butter but have traded it in for almond butter. Christmas dinner was nice as I made a basil dill hummus with all fresh ingredients and also a sweet macadamia spiced pumpkin hummus with flax seed chips, carrots, and celery for dipping..... I also made a peanut butter chocolate pie, which is not totally raw but all the ingredients were totally organic and vegan, I used carob powder, hemp seed powder, organic peanut butter, milk free soy free gluten free chocolate chips, raisins, hemp milk, agave nectar, stevia, whipped it all up in bowl and topped it off with shredded coconut and walnuts......twas yummy and a treat! Had a hard time finding raw cacao nibs, cacao butter, hemp seed butter and raw maca powder............but the next pie will be totally raw!
So I feel like this lifestyle has made it a lot easier for me to have a strong sense of self discipline in other areas of my life............I am not a big drinker at all but have been known to have some drinks 1 night or 2 out of the week. Not anymore, I went to an event called Santa con last weekend where everyone dresses up like Santa and marches around Atlanta hitting up bar after bar.....did not have one rink and found it very easy to politely turn down any drinks that were offered to me.........It felt great! I have quit biting my nails which I have never never ever been able to do...........this was my second attempt and I have not taken bit of nails in 2 weeks and do not intend to............also Mary Jane use to be a big part of my life and I would visit her on a regular basis....have not seen that girl in weeks! Don't get me wrong I have nothing against her at all.....but for me right now at this moment in my life, I want a clear mind, open heart, and fog free atmosphere.............
My journey continues as I strip everything down to its bare core..........Give me truth, give me raw, give me life, give me life, in every single person I met and step I take, every piece of nourishment that I put into this body, every dance I dance, every story I hear, and every word I speak.........Give me truth....
