~DAY 3, YIPPEEEEE!!!!!~

Wow, here it is halfway through day three, I'm feeling soooooo good, energetic, lighter even! I couldn't wait till tomorrow to weigh in, & have lost 6 lbs already...16 down from my highest weight!
Why, oh, why did i wait sooo long to get back to this?!?!?!? I know that i needed to come to the place of crying out to God for His strength to do this...just don't know why it took me so long!
I've hear it said that it can take from 1 to 3 years to fully transition to this, without going back & forth...but i always think of those who just jumped in full blast & never looked back...i definately wasn't there last time, had daily struggles last time, but this time, my hope is growing that that's really where I'm headed, day by day...
Am almost out of produce, but will be getting more tomorrow, so I'm hangin' in there, & will make some tea, & smash some nuts in the bowl left from the holidays with a hammer...{...not in the bowl, though, on the floor, in a bag, with a hammer! A nutcracker's on my shopping list!}
Been thinking about the raw-foodies who wonder if nuts are still raw, the way they're shelled in factories, (how heated do they get?), makes sense to me to just buy 'em whole to know for sure!
I think there's one nut in particular that you can only get out by heating it....seems to be a message that it's maybe not meant for food...? {Anyone remember which nut it is?}

I've been craving avacados today! I want to make the yummy chocolate pudding with them, with raw cocoa powder, & agave nectar! It's on the shopping list! {I'll post a link to the recipe later! It's simple, delicious, & hard to share!!!}
I'm so thankful the Lord is enabling me to do this without struggling, or too intense detoxing! {After what I've been eating the last few months, I'm suprised!!!} I've had mucus leaving my body in fairly high amounts from various pathways, & have ben a bit chilled, but other that that, I've been feeling more alive than i have in a long while!
Off to go clean out the fridge...no more letting produce go bad while we eat processed foods, or order pizza! There's a few things in there I'm not even sure what they once were!!! Ewww! Maybe I'll post a picture? Um, never mind...

Oh, how sweet. :)

I think it may be cashews? I know it is extremely difficult to find them truly raw, and they are very expensive. I've heard some raw foodists say that they still have to be steamed, so they are not "truly" raw afterall. I don't know......
