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.

Don't get in a funk. Just eat some good stuff and feel better. Just add good stuff in, and you will eventually not want the bad stuff. You won't even have to worry about it. You don't have to be 100% raw or nothing. You can follow your path at your own pace.
I had to pick up donuts this morning for an office birthday and the smell of them in the car about made me gag. Now THAT's progress!
