DAY 1!!

Well, by lunch time we hadn't eaten any cooked foods so we figured, let's call today DAY ONE!! Here's the run down:

Breakfast:
Fruit Smoothie (I made 3 different ones...here's just an example):
1 orange
1 apple (cored)
1 banana
1 cup strawberries
1/2 cup blueberries
1 cup water
1 cup ice
BLEND and DRINK! YUM!!

Lunch:
Vegetable Smoothie (I wasn't thrilled with this and will probably never make it again unless my taste buds do some serious changin'!)
3 tomatoes, quartered
1/4 onion
1 medium carrot
1 stalk of celery
1 cup ice
1/2 cup water
BLEND and DRINK! YUCK!
Note: I managed to drink 2 cups of this stuff. Russ drank 2-3 cups and it made about 5.5 cups!

Snack:
This kinda goes against the raw diet thing because the nuts are roasted but I JUST bought them the other night and it is WONDERFUL!!! There is this nut and goji berry mixture/trail mix stuff at Sprouts that is to DIE FOR! I ate maybe 3 handfuls and savored every minute of it. lol I also made some fruit leathers today and tried a piece of each. I think that's it as far as snacking goes! I guess I need to be keeping a food journal - that'd make this a whole lot easier!

Dinner:
We went to dinner at Beets! It's a raw restaurant in Austin. YUMM!!!
I ordered a ELT. This was an awesome sandwich on flat bread with avocado, sprouts, tomato lettuce, some special sauce and best of all, eggplant "bacon"! I have GOT to learn how to make that!!! We also got a salad sampler which was great and to top it all off, we got a chocolate "cheese" cake! I highly recommend this restaurant to ANYONE who would like to get a taste of what eating raw food is all about :)

Can't wait to get started tomorrow! I need to go to the grocery store in the morning for the week...making the grocery list now. Wish me luck!

P.S. Current weight as of Feb 4 is 138. Let the games begin!!
