Exciting, huh? Oh, the fun doesn't stop there, kids...
a RAW, GREEN, NATURAL diet.
My Ma has been my cook, cutter, and baker. She's made vegan meals, cookies to fit my needs, prepares fruits and veggies, and gets out the juicer and makes juice for my breakfasts or lunches. I haven't had much to do with anything that goes on in the kitchen and never really have...I'm slowly putting my foot in the door and helping my Ma with supper and my day meals, when she's not here to help me out. I can't help that she's such a good cook, baker, and Ma! Even my sister has entered the juicin' world and I soak up her great juicing skills when I'm able to, at her place. So, my rules for this new diet is NO meat(unless it's a Holiday or if it's lamb - I can't give up what I was raised on.), and NO soda or sugar(sugar creates cancer cells! Ew.). I'm not a drill sargent, but I try my hardest to keep myself in-line. It's a gradual process, but my body is already adjusted to the good stuff and will definitely let me know when I eat something too sweet or greasy. I've even been driven to stop drinking MILK(I used to drink it by the gallon), because it's too sweet on my tummy. I've tried almond and soy, but it just doesn't taste good/natural to me, so I settle for milk ONLY in my cereal. My inspiration and the whole reason why I started this new, diet journey is because of another fellow Cancer survivor, Kris Carr..She's a huuuge juicer advocate and has a whole book dedicated to recipes that fits my diet.
I'm hoping this lifestyle change is making a difference inside my body, and maybe even be able to see a difference on June 13th & 14th, 2011 a.k.a. TEST & RESULT DAYS! Let's keep those positive thoughts a-comin'!
