2012 Resolution - Raw Food Diet! Journal Entry #1

I have a big, ground-breaking, never-heard-before New Year's Resolution to... now get this... LOSE WEIGHT!  Shocking, I know... no one's ever tried this before! (okay, enough of the sarcasm, eh?)


I decided for this year, I would start a YouTube channel, and put myself "out there" and try a new strategy of being really transparent. I want 2012 to be the year I finally have lasting success with a raw food lifestyle, and getting healthy.


Please subscribe and follow my journey! I would love to hear from you, and help support you in your journey as well.

Finally some inspiration for Raw!

Today I finally found some inspiration and motivation that has been non-existent for so long.  I have tried making almond butter and tahini before without success.  Today I decided to tackle making homemade tahini and with lots of patience finally had some success.  You can get my recipe and method on my Raw Food Recipe Project blog.  The success with something so simple has actually given me a lot of hope, and inspired me to keep trying new things.  Finally I feel some motivation creeping back in.  It feels so good!  :-)  My daughter also got a little excited about it.  Seeing seeds turn into butter.  Raw food rocks.

The Raw Food Recipe Project is born!

As many of you may have guessed since I haven't updated my blog in long time, I have been struggling with sticking to a raw food diet for quite some time.  After doing a lot of thinking about what has been holding me back and why I'm having such a hard time with it, I came up with a plan to motivate me back to the raw food lifestyle.  I've started another blog to keep me motivated and accountable in meeting my goals, and it's titled "Raw Food Recipe Project".  I decided to do it on Wordpress, you can find it here: http://rawfoodrenewal.wordpress.com/  I really hope you will subscribe to it over there and follow me on this new journey!  I explain in my first post what I'm doing, and I hope it will inspire others in their own raw food adventures! :)
