Today we begin our week-long raw challenge. Woohoo! For our first day, we’re keeping it simple, gradual; fruit for breakfast, salad/greens for lunch, ceviche for dinner. A gentle entre into our new venture is needed, because after a vacation eating everything and anything (like Pringles, beef jerky, cheeseburgers… you get the picture) we don’t want to shock the system.
The kids are somewhat leery of our new adventure while my husband is plain skeptical–though he promised to order salads while out and about during his work day. On the bright side, we have a wonderful harvest with which we can work wonders: corn, tomatoes, squash, zucchini, okra, peppers.
Could we ask for a better menu? Gazpacho, marinated Italian peppers, zucchini pasta… Bet you wish you were dining at our house this week, don’t you?
I can feel it already; our skin is going to glow, our energy is going to burst, our minds will clear, our moods will soar… Raw living will definitely provide a wholesome cleansing and a healthy turn, putting our bodies on the road to well-being. How about you. “Ready for a good cleansing?”
looking forward to breakfast and lunch!
Sounds good to me and wouldn’t be a problem with me at all but I never could get my hubby to follow me. He is a meat lover and this is not gonna change in a 100 years.
Honestly, my hubby is no convert. He’s supportive at best. Should I question what he’s eating during the day?
Maybe. But you won’t catch me admitting so out loud. The man is indulging my experimental walk on the raw side–I’m good!
