Rawness

Hi!!

My name is Aleksandra and I am posting so you can all understand what the next thirty days will be like for me.  I'm going to eat only raw food and see how I feel at the end of this month.  This is day 3, sorry a little late, but better late than never!

So on Day 1, which was Monday, Poopy and I went shopping n got all the organic goods:

green chard 

red kale

green kale

dozen pears

dozen apples

dozen bananas

four avocados 

raw almond butter

raw nuts- macadamia nuts, hazelnuts, brazil nuts, pecans, cashews, sunflower seeds

flax seed crackers

box of cashew cookie larabars

case of fiji water

arugula salad

4 tomatoes

6 large portobella mushroom caps

So far, we need to get more tomatoes, avocados and more raw nut butter.  

It's only been 3 days and I feel good.  Been craving bad food a little but not so badly.  

We have a raw vegan restaurant in the city pretty close to brooklyn so we went there on the first night.  It really helped us not think about regular food. 

The second day wasn't bad really I had my internship at KleinReid from 9:30-5:30, before I left I drank a large green smoothie which was delicious.  I brought with me a nice salad that was leftover from Quintessence i threw in half an avocado, half a tomato and some red onion, for dressing I used lemon juice and olive oil.   

For my friends that are asking themselves why is she doing this to herself?

I'm doing this not only because its really good for me but also because its really good for our earth.  What better way to make a statement? Heres my thirty day statement!! :) Hopefully it lasts longer!

By the end of this month I hope to have trained my body to eat good food and to be in good shape for the summer.  I'm gonna take pictures of myself throughout this process in a bathing suit I used to fit in :) and if I'm happy with the results then ill post em up!
