Looking Up From The Ravine

OK, surprise surprise surprise. I fell off the juice feast. Yesterday I felt the need for some chocolate, so had 2 dark chocolate mini snickers, then 2 or 3 or 4 mocha chocolates (some fancy chocolates someone had brought in to the office....) and then later on at home had good food. I had salad, and a fresh blueberry with kefir smoothie, then made my birthday dinner again (chicken shish kebobs) as we have company....along with a yummy salad of mixed greens, broccoli, carrots and tomatoes, some potato "salad" which consisted of cooked baby yukon gold potatoes cut up and covered with Seeds of Change Greek Feta Dressing and some fresh chives from the garden. I made myself 2 vegetable shish kebobs, but I tell you, once I started eating, I ate....and even had at least 1 chicken shish kebob. And several small handfuls of Annie's Chocolate Bunnie Grahams. And a small packet of granola that I got at the Creek Festival. And finished off the whipped cream can. And woke up this morning dreading the scales...and hadn't even gained a pound.

So, I know this totally flies in the face of what I said I was going to do.....but it is typical behavior for me. Today, I woke up, had 3 oil of oregano capsules, then came to work. Ate some organic cracked wheat, flax crackers, and an EnviroKids chocolate rice crispy bar. But also brought the leftover salad from last night.

Will try and eat lightly today, and high raw. But if we end up where I'd like to end up for dinner, I am going to be having at least 1 glass of champagne. But champagne is raw right? lol

So....going to be as good as I can this weekend while company is here, and not gain any weight...
we are going to be doing some bike riding....

and then I will get back onto the juice wagon on Monday. I like it, it is working for me, but if I can only do short juice feasts, that is way better than none at all. And I do want to be 100% raw, but I may have to work up to it. I am looking at food now, going, I can make a raw version of that...and hopefully I will. I do plan on making my family some raw dinners....they won't mind as long as they like the taste (what's not to like?) and feel satisfied.

Easy enough to do. So that is today's post.....probably the last til Monday.

Ciao bellas!
