Great day - Rubbish day

Hello Darlings,

Well the title says it all. Some days I have great days food wise and other times I have days where I eat nothing except for what is bad for my body and spirit.

Now this isn't good by any means and I am sure that everyone who embarks on making positive changes in their lives has setbacks and suffers the effects from them. It is true that every day that you treat your body well is a bonus, what concerns me is this. When I go from great food back to bad food I get days of IBS symptoms.

There are many blog articles from very successful raw foodists who say very clearly that is wise to make a transition to raw food. This is something that I think that I will do.

So my plan is this.

For one month, starting today, I will eat at least one good raw food meal a day.

After that, I will eat two raw meals a day for the next month.

And for my final two months of transition. I will eat either three raw meals a day allowing for a cooked snack or two raw meals with a raw snack.

How does this sound? Too much? Too slow?

I know that success is it's own reward and for this particular task good health is a much further reaching advantage.

Now my challenges this week are that I have my partner's Mum over for dinner this Friday evening, and we are going out for dinner with friends on Saturday. Phew, quite a busy weekend, actually a bit busier than I would like especially seeing as I would like to sit down and sew for a few hours.

So, seeing as it is Tuesday today, and it's still morning, I have 6 opportunities to succeed at my raw food goals this week. Today is more or less in the bag so to speak as I have packed myself a large salad, a couple of blood oranges and an organic apple.
