Committing to Raw

After transitioning to an organic raw vegan diet in 2007, I'm ready to enter a new phase ... saying goodbye to SAD (processed/junk food) entirely. I don't plan to consistently be 100% raw, but intend to stay close to 80%. I'll remain 100% vegan, although I'll incorporate cooked legume soups and streamed vegetables.

This year, there will be designated periods where I'll eat 100% raw. Additionally, I will smoothie feast for periods of time. Despite having many pounds to lose, my weight will not be my focus ... instead, what I ingest will be. Staying committed, while consciously consuming pure nutrition, the weight will take care of itself at its own rate. As my activity level gradually increases, I'll shed pounds and also feel more energetic.

I recently purchased a Blendtec Blender and LOVE it ... worth every penny : ) An Excalibur Dehydrator is on my wish list, so that'll be my next significant raw purchase.

I'm excited to see and feel the results of a healthy lifestyle over time. I will blog my journey and document my progress, challenges, and accomplishments!
