1/2 banana and hadful of goji berries
6.5 mile run, was supposed to be seven, tried a new route and it wasn't long enough!!
B: smoothie: spinach, peaches, lemon, blueberries, and 1 and 1/2 bananas
s: tiny itty bitty sweet pear
L: salad at the farmer's market- had garbanzo beans in it- not raw
s: the rest of my notuna
s: made a green smoothie for tomorrow morning, had about a cup this evening. red kale, 1/2 lemon, peaches, and blueberries
D: pasta with beans in tomato sauce, homemade bread
d: banana cake and jam
so in conclusion, wolfing down all this cooked food has made me realize i need to stick to raw. the food i had tonight was super yummy, not like last night, but i don't feel the happy buzzy energy of raw food. i don't feel light, i feel heavy and well, that's enough evidence for me. it's these social situations that are challenging. i love the people in my life and food is such a very big deal. i don't want anyone to feel bad, or think that i think i'm better then anyone else, or any negative thing at all. i, too hate feeling left out and i just want to enjoy the company of family and friends no matter what's on my plate, or in my bowl, or in my mason jar. ha!

Sweetheart, I love you, I don't care what you eat or don't eat. I never have, never will. I have always said if you look too skinny, or unhealthy I would tell you. But you do so much research and take such care to make sure your body gets what it needs I really have no fear of having that conversation with you. If you feel good, that makes me so happy! I don't want you to not feel your best because we eat different things. Question:How does olive oil rate? Is that raw or no. If you eat olive oil, I have a great raw tomato sauce recipe for you, it is my favorite tomato sauce ever! I cannot wait for local tomatoes to be ripe and ready for my purchase so I can make it again. (grocery store tomatoes are crap in this recipe)
thanks lydia! it means a lot.i think olive oil is a condiment/cooking choice for raw foodies. like some use maple syrup, some do not. i'd love to have your fav recipe for tomato sauce!our farmer's market just started and it's super crowded and really great. there's a guy who sells jams infused with lavender. seriously, that jam is a drug. amazing. not raw but i'm going to eat up the jar andy bought!
