Raw Food Experiment Summer 2013

I have been doing some research on the benefits of a raw vegan diet. Starting in July I will be adding in more of the raw fruits and veggies. I will also be doing some trials on making crackers and different meals and desserts that I have seen. I want to be prepared to go completely raw for the month of August. It will be a challenge but I feel that the energy, mental clarity and general spiritual uplifting you get from it is more of a benefit. I will post on the progress and pictures of the foods I make to show how easy it can be.

2013 Canning Season

We ordered a flat of strawberries and made some homemade jam!!! Getting a jump start on the canning frenzy putting up all we can :D

New Program to Try!

I ordered a new program to start using and see if it works. Very inexpensive and has a money back guarantee so I am not going to lose any money if it doesn't work! I have 60 days to see what happens and I am so excited. I am not sure how to feel about the very long times at the gym until I get the program down and I have to figure out what is the best time to go so I don't feel pressure and can still sleep and function at work. Trial and error will be my friends for a while. I am doing before pictures this week and measurements so that I can accurately keep account of what I am doing. I am also going to sign up for a journal or create one on my computer so that I can see the ups and downs of the progress. I have so much hope for this program since it is a custom one and not a cookie cutter type. If you want a link please comment and I will send it via email to you so that you can try it too! I will update on the progress and maybe even post some pictures of things too :)

Bountiful Baskets

Last week one of the church members stopped by work and left a flyer for the bountiful baskets.... I thought WOW! I need to try this, I put my order in on Monday and went to volunteer to help this morning, it was fun and I got some great fruits and veggies!!!! The apples were the size of softballs, and the carrots are big enough to be a meal in themselves!! I will definitely keep doing the basket orders :) If you are interested please comment below and I will post the information!

The 60 Day Challenge

I am starting a 60 day challenge on March 1, 2013! If you want to participate in it please comment below. I will try to post progress and some pictures as I go along. I am still working on the training for my 5k in June. I am looking forward to this plan because it looks like it was made for me. Currently I am doing the 28 Day Challenge and taking classes weekly. I am super excited to start this new one. Hope you will be doing this with me :)
