YEAHER!
Kasey (Second Post)

Finished yesterday with a mix of foods like pumpkin seeds and almonds (unsoaked) a mix of bean sprouts, sprouted tofu, mushrooms, and peanut sauce. Then I made an arugula and lemon blended drink that was nutty and delish.

Had tons of energy yesterday (7)

My mental state improved as the day went on (6) as it usually does, I'm a night owl.

My physical level was at an (8) i'd say, I made it through a walk to school, to the gym in the snow, work out, pilates class, then walked back in the snow. I was sweating through my stocking cap! Down side to this, I kinda had B.O all day :) Pick is of me in all my xmas swag, but the facial expression denotes the energy level I had yesterday!

Started today with a carrot, lemon, spinach, ginger mix in the blender!

Hello!

We are going to try this whole RAW thing out because it just sounds amazing for your mind and body! I am excited to try it not only for myself, but to also report on how challenging (price, availability, legit organics) it is to buy whole organic produce in somewhat rural Iowa, woot woot.

Today I woke up and mixed up last nights leftover salad, some raspberries, lemon grass, lemon, ginger and some avocado in the blender. Didn't taste the greatest, but I gulped it down while watching the birds compete for a peg on my bird feeder. Great energy to start the day though.

I'd say a 7 on the energy scale

Mentally I felt a little slow on the uptake (4) tough to focus and read today, got dropped off at my house after a meeting so I think I will walk to campus to get the blood pumping.

Hope Maylee turns the decibels down as the day goes on my love!

Peace

Starting out! Day 1-Jessica

Today is Feb. 1, 2010...the start of a healthy new month. I am going to use this space to blog about the journey of starting to eat raw..here I will document feelings, both physical and mental, that attribute with my new lifestyle change.

Here is my scale that I will be using: 1-10...1-Poor & 10-Excellent

Physical Rating-3...I woke up feeling sluggish, tired, and swollen from all the processed foods I ate this past weekend.
Mental Rating-3...Not fully alert....having a harder time getting motivated....
Energy Rating-3...low energy ..almost lazy feeling

Looking for superfood juicing recipes! Going to wrap it up for now, Maylee is a screaming machine today :)
