OK, so this is by far the longest I've gone without blogging. Even though I joined the Raw Fu challenge, I've still been struggling big time. I didn't realize how quickly I could slip back into my old SAD habits. I'm back to drinking coffee in the mornings, often accompanied by a sugar and fat laden muffin. Ughhh. I'm also eating way too much ice cream.
On the positive side, I'm still staying away from meat - I'm not interested at all (blechh). Dairy is still a problem (obviously - coffee with milk or cream, ice cream, etc) I don't really know what to do at this point. I've been using the excuse of a new job, but it's been a month now. At some point, I have to decide whether or not to really commit to eating raw. But with raw-ness in my memory, I just can't see going back to being SAD - just the thought of it makes me - well -- sad.
Maybe I just need to take it one step at a time - at least make one GS every day - focus on salads. I also need to make it fun - try new recipes in the dehydrator. The onion bread I made didn't turn out well, but I think I just took it out too early. I'm going to try some corn chips next.
Hey - get this - I MET PHILIP MCCLUSKEY!!!! I was so psyched - I was in NYC visiting my sister, and made the trek to Pure Food Takeaway - it was such a pain in the ass to get there - we got lost, and couldn't find parking - and it was already getting late in the afternoon and we had to work the next day. Well, I'm so glad I went because Philip was there in his "iRaw" t-shirt. I couldn't believe it - it was like meeting one of the Beatles or something. He was very nice, but I felt kind of stupid going up to him. Let me just say how happy I was to take the extra time to find Pure Food.
Also, last weekend I went to Grezzo for the first time (Alissa Cohen's Boston restaurant). It was fabulous. My Mom and I tried the tasting menu - which I highly recommend - especially if it's your first time there. I need to go back to the website and write down everything I ate.
Ok, off to make the corn chips - and to try to get out of this major funk I'm in.
