Day 18

Hello,Hello HEllo!!

Sorry I've been offline for so many days! Our computer is broken...please pray for our computer!! Well, today was day 18 and all is well and raw. I went shopping at the natural food co-op and found all the things that I needed to start my diet, How exciting. I started to sprout my grains and seeds, so I had them on hand to make food for the family. It takes a long time to sprout and dehydrate all that. But in the long run it will be all ready for me when I need to use it. I used to be able to eat so much food in a day and not really be satisfied. Now I am full after only a little food.

Today I had some carrots with lemon tahini dressing, Some figs and tahini, and a glass of juice, it seemed to be enough for today. Illness stalks our house this week...so my appetite it smaller today than usual.

I haven't noticed many dramatic health changes in the last few days, but my bladder is not stinging as bad as it did and that is awesome!! So for me, life is getting better. I have to say that that the green juices seem to make all the difference in how I feel. When I went to the co-op I had them make me a green juice and I chugged it down. Within 5 minutes I felt a huge bodily change in me. After being without a juice for a few days I don't want to do that again!...must...maintain...dicipline!!

Well I want to leave you with the recipe for the Lemon tahini dressing: Just so you know this doesn't have to be exact it is just a rough estimate.
