So far my raw diet is going pretty well, though I have decided I'm going to eat a few cooked convenience foods as I am transitioning. Last night I had a 6inch veggie sub from subway and some chips because I really needed to eat and couldn't go home.
My main problem at this point is that my parents are trying to sell the house so I'm not allowed to use the kitchen 24 hours before a showing because its all been cleaned. This means no smoothies, no dehydration, nada. The biggest thing I can really do is grow sprouts, and those seem to be doing very well! About half my seeds have sprouted so far. Hopefully my mom will help me take care of them because I'm going to Vermont tomorrow night and I doubt that they will be ready then. In Vermont I'll probably have to eat less raw since I will be at a friend's house but I think I will make do alright.

I have some sprouts!

A few of my seeds have germinated (despite my not watering for 24 hours, oooops!)

Unfortunately I never had the chance to either buy or make raw bread last night. I got asked to work early this morning so I didn't want to be up all night then have to wake up at 8am.

I did get to do a lovely food shopping though! I got cantaloupes, hummus, mangoes, rice milk (it was on sale and much cheaper than almond milk this week), raw sunflower seeds, hazelnuts, a case of clementines, turbinado sugar, apple cider vinegar, and Lara bars.

Unfortunately I fell a bit off the bandwagon last night because my lack of bread prompted me to eat hummus with Ritz crackers and then a bowl of chex with rice milk I wish I hadn't eaten it before bed because I woke up with sore spot in my stomach that I could pin down to cooked food. I'm not too upset though, I didnt have enough protein yesterday anyway because my sprouts haven't germinated yet.

Right now, the goal is to switch my tastes from processed and cooked foods to whole and raw foods. Right now I'm eating half a cantaloupe for breakfast and it is delicious. I forgot how much I love fruit (instead of baked sweets) and I'm trying to switch in fresh fruit for all the desserts and sweet snacks I used to eat. So far I think I'm doing pretty well!

Tonight's Plan

1. Go to the grocery after work in Enfield (which has more natural foods than my town) and pick up some raw foods like nuts, seeds, flatbread (if available), avocadoes, fresh fruit, and agave nectar.
2. Make raw, dehydrated flatbread for the next few days (if I don't find it in stores). I'll probably have to do this in the main oven because my toaster oven is quite small
3. Water my sprouts :)

Sprouts have been planted!

This is the sprouter that I have and I just finished planting and watering my first batch of seeds! Hopefully they will germinate, they're a year old but I think they will be okay.
I planted a mix bean variety, broccoli, and alfalfa sprouts. I am looking forward to sprout salads, peanut butter with sprouts on raw bread, and hummus with sprouts on raw crackers!
