RawFu: day one

Wow, that took me by surprise.

Yes, I knew it was on its way, I signed up, didn't I? But here already? I'm a bit disorganised.

Bunny left a lovely video message on the RawFu site last night. She's so excited, it's wonderful. There are over 1000 people registered to join in which is amazing considering this happened pretty much all by word of mouth and in less than a month.

It's going to be fun!

Here's day one's intake. Spot the not-so-deliberate mistake...

am:
juice - apple, carrot, beetroot and ginger
green smoothie - spinach, fat hen (lambsquarters), nectarines, banana, cacao, maca
1 piece raw chocolate

pm:
salad - red cabbage, mixed greens, sweetcorn, peppers, tomatoes, onion, seed mix, honey & mustard dressing
2 apples
3 pieces raw chocolate
sir fry - tofu, sprouted mixed pulses, shredded veggies, egg noodles, sesame oil, tamari, garlic, ginger, spices
raw and non-raw ice cream

Due to a software malfunction we had cooked food for dinner tonight. It was intended as the last supper, and a peace offering for YummyHubby who's going to be getting bored of salad for the next 100 days. But my shopping and food planning software (ie: my head) crashed. No biggie. Tomorrow's another day.

It looks like the RawFu site has been closed again (so it's like Facebook, if you're not a member you can't see anything) so I'll cross post here from my blogs on there. Today I set up my overall goals and my first mini-goal. We have ten-day challenges, which I think is a great idea. It's much more "one day at a time" when you chop it up like that.

Overall goals:
lose 25 pounds (12 of which have snuck on since I finished my juicefeast)
stick to as near to 100% raw vegan as I can, with cooked food, dairy and alcohol permitted on special occasions
more juices, preferably green

First 10 day goals:
have a juice every other day
make interesting dinner salads so YummyHubby doesn't get too bored

 One day at a time, you can achieve anything. True story.
