Ok, so I tried the Raw Foods thing & failed miserably. Or let me rephrase more positively, it wasn't my thing! I can however, choose to make better choices for myself. I have been reading horrible things about ground beef & also the cruelty that goes into slaughterhouses. I know, I know. Some people are going to think I am a tree hugger hippie & maybe I am. But more than anything, at least I will be a healthy tree hugger hippie.
My goal for this week is to not consume any animal flesh or dairy. Dairy is easy for me to give up because Homeslice is horribly lactose intolerant. I mean it ain't pretty when dairy enters this body!!! Meat isn't so hard either to give up, but I am kind of lost as to what I should eat. I am stalking my vegetarian friends as we speak & some have been helpful & others just downright silly :) That's ok-I know for a fact this is going to be a process. I am ok with that. Getting away from processed foods is kind of hard too because they are everywhere among us like an alien invasion. I am also being drawn towards eating seasonally & locally. That is going to be hard mainly because farmer's markets are only on weekends (usually) and i have no idea what is locally grown here in Texas. I guess I am going to have to stalk farmer's market websites too. I may have to make a trip into town twice a week. Which in the big picture isn't so bad since I'll be investing in my health.
I finally got my exercises I need to do to get my body back into alignment. All I can say is that I have my work cut out for me. I am ok with that too. Well, if anyone has any advice on veggie meals or places I can stalk for info, please leave a comment!!!
Peace & Love!!!
