This is one of three million blogs that is going to be started today. Don't think that I feel that my decision to detox in January is creative or new. But I am excited about starting down a path toward healthier eating and living. Besides the fact that I gained three pounds and five percent body fat over Christmas, I have decided that it is time to be more intentional about what I allow my body to have to process.
Since I am a teacher in a very high need school, I find myself both overwhelmed and uninspired when it comes to cooking for myself at the end of the day. I want to eat healthy foods, but the local taqueria, drinks out with friends, a frozen dinner, or other quick fixes seem so much easier. Therefore I was pretty excited when I heard about a raw food restaurant in Chicago that makes affordable meals for busy people like me. I admit, I kind of feel like a cheater, but I am going to use this time to learn as much as possible about eating and cooking raw.
I'm hoping that this blog will inspire with pictures, references to other raw blogs, recipes, and honesty. While I am doing this I am also going to do yoga every day with my home videos. Finally, I am currently reading Animal, Vegetable, Mineral by Barbara Kingsolver to learn more about the food system in the United States.
To end, I would like to say that guacamole is my favorite part about being raw. (And the picture is of seaweed pasta with vegetables)
I love Barbara Kingsolver. That's all. Oh, are you revealing how much the food costs? I'm curious.
ReplyDeleteYes! The food costs $400 for the month. Which isn't terrible considering it is all made for me. Then again, it would be cheaper if I bought a four month plan, but I wasn't sure I wanted to commit to that. Also, I didn't have $1000 on hand.
