DAY 1: MOSTLY RAW FOOD CHALLENGE

A great way to stay on track is to make a few extra smoothies so you can take them on the go...

 

Day 1: Mostly Raw food challenge 

It's about that time again, I need to cleanse my body. I wanted to do this right after I finished my radiation treatments but I was just too tired, physically as well as mentally. But I am now about 6 weeks out from my last treatment. I'm still mentally tired but I am not physically tired. So I'm going to do the push and do a 10 day cleanse. 

What will my cleanse guidelines be? 
Good question. I'm going back to basics... Mostly smoothies. They are easy. And I also plan to do mostly all raw. So when time permits I'm going to include salads or make some fun raw things from this site. I plan to include 1 vegan meal a day. That will be in the evening. It's cold here right now so I need that warmth and I do love food so that will be my treat each evening. 

How will I accomplish this? 
Another good question... I'm planning everything out. So far I have 2 days planned. And I have my smoothies all planned out. I'm going to keep it basic by drinking 2 different smoothies several times a day. I like the taste of both and if I keep it simple, so a little boring, I can keep it up. 

I also plan to make more than one smoothie at a time. That way I can store the extra smoothie in the fridge and it's ready to drink whenever. Or if I'm on the go I can just take the smoothie with me as a snack to keep me from grabbing a bad snack while running errands. 

I'm feeling pretty good about this. Last time I did this was when I found out about the cancer and within a week I felt amazing!! My blood count was high & my blood was super rich. So  I'm hoping that this raw smoothie cleanse will give me the jump start I need. I'm hoping it helps my back heal faster and cleanses my back of all that radiation. I want to be thinking more clearly.. I feel like I've been in a bit of a fog. 

So follow me on my 10 day journey... It should be fun!!

IT'S MONDAY: REGROUPING AND 10 DAY RAW FOOD CHALLENGE

 

 

It's been a slightly rough week last week and with my son under the weather this weekend and house guests from out of town, you can imagine the busy-ness.  Time to kick things into gear!   A couple of my contributors and I are kicking it up an notch and will be doing a 10 day food challenge.  Raw to mostly raw food for 10 days without diviating.  No processed foods.  Is anyone with us?  

 

Our contributor Jean-Marie, who's cancer is in remission and currently cancer free after a few months of treament, will be posting most days about what she is doing and how the challenge is going.  Let's support her and all who will taking part.  I am going to join the band wagon with her and do this challenge. Nothing complicated, just eating mostly foods as we can to each meal.  We may add a fresh vegan meal here and there, but mostly raw.

 

Here are a couple helpful charts to help us keep these food in the forefront of our minds.

 

 

 

 

 

We know its not easy to stay focused on eating right, so let's help each other do it and get focused!

 

Have a great week everyone!  Let's do this!
