HAPPY BIRTHDAY

It's my birthday today.......54. I told someone 45 and they didn't bat an eye.....but I am 54. I am feeling good....but not as good as I want to feel. I have lost some weight this year, but not as much as I'd like to...I still have at least 12 pounds which will not be around by August. I am high raw....not 100%, and that's okay. However, I still want to do 100% for at least 6 months. I want to see what that does for me. I have been out of town traveling for the last 6 days and I just ate the best of what was available, much of which was not raw, but overall I ate well. Maybe went up a pound in weight...but that is easy to take back off. Still trying to get lower than my most recent low....that will happen soon.

I have decided to start blogging again regularly as I want to keep moving forward, making changes...and this will help me record my efforts.

Today I have eaten 2 large carrots, 12 ounces of org raspberries (yay they are on sale) some mixed greens, about 1/2 cup of pumpkin seeds mixed with pine nuts, some dark chocolate and 2 multi-flora capsules which seem to have benefited me as my mood is definitely good.

Dinner is going to be at the Mediterranean restaurant, so won't be raw, and I may have one glass of champagne, but that will be it for alcohol til Aug 12th (wedding anniversary) and I will have only one glass then. I was going to say that would be it for cooked food til then....and it may be...but I may take a few days to work up to it.

I have decided upon a plan that is going to make my summer more enjoyable, and that is, having each of my sons (ages 13 and 15) and my husband, make dinner for us, one night a week each. With a little help, flexibility and planning, they can do this.
