Green Juice

Ok so today I am craving some green juice.  When I first read up on green juice and green smoothies, I noticed that a lot of people said they were craving these drinks.  I was wondering how someone could crave something like greens and fruit, etc.  Well, now it has hit me!  I am craving the same thing.  It seems funny to me but for about an hour now I have been craving a green drink.  So, once I get some more things done around the house, I plan on making a green juice consisting of celery, spinach, carrots, and apples.  Yum, yum, can't wait to make it.

Yummy Yummy Vegan Food

Well, we went to Horizons restaurant in Philly last night and it was absolutely fantastic!!!  It was the first vegan restaurant that I have been to so I was not sure what to expect.  I was more than pleasantly surprised!!! 
I know I should have taken pictures of the food but I was just so overwhelmed by the goodness that I did not take one picture!!  Ugh......I will learn for next time.
We started the meal with the Jamaican BBQ Seitan....it was so savory and tender and delicious!  The BBQ sauce was out of this world.  We had homemade foccia breadsticks with a delicious dipping sauce( can't remember what the sauce was). For the main meal I had the grilled seitan with spinach and yukon mashed potatos with a horseradish sauce....let em tell you after one bite it felt like I was in heaven. 
For dessert we had chocolate stuffed beinets.  Oh my can you say "YUMMY"??!!!!  I was very full but did not feel bloated as I would have had I gone to a "meat eaters" restaurant and had something from the Standard American Diet.
We will definitely go to Horizons again.  It is definitely a thumbs up for us!
Until next time, stay strong and eat healthy

Vegan Restaurant

Just want to post real quick that I am sooooo excited because tomorrow I will be going to a Vegan restaurant in the city!  Can't wait.  I will let you know how the experience turns out.

Transitioning

Seems like just when I think I am ready to eat healthy, something stops me in my tracks.  Like that darn peice of choclate cake that I ate!  I was doing so good all day and then, bang.....it hit me...the cake called and I ate it.  Now I did not need it, but I saw it and wanted it.  So, I caved in.  Felt bad afterward and even beat myself up a little about it.

BUT...I am going to do much better today!  That is my goal.  I am back to transitioning slowly but surely to the Raw Living Lifestyle.  I CAN DO THIS!!!

I WILL DO THIS!!!!!

Until next time, be strong and eat healthy.

Back On Track

So I know its been awhile since I posted.  I have just been crazy busy these past few weeks.  At any rate, I am back.
This morning I had my green juice which consisted of blueberries, blackberries, celery, apples, spinach, and kale.  Because of the berries it was not green at all.  More like a purple juice.  It was so yummy!
Later in the morning I had some oatmeal and a banana with almond butter.
For lunch I had a vegetable sloppy joe sandwich that was delish!  I am working on getting more and more raw foods in, but I am taking the transition slowly since this will be a way of life for me and not just a diet.
Well, gotta get back to work.  Hopefully soon  I will be posting pictures of my meals.
Until next time, stay strong and be healthy.

Digging out in Philly
