Day One: Raw

Today was day one and the hardest thing about going raw at first is remembering you are raw. lol I found myself with a salad with an oil-free balsamic dressing that was not raw. Oh yeah, I should also explain that I am a very dedicated foodie! If I'm oil-free vegan, I'm oil-free vegan. If I say I'm raw, I'm 100% raw...no exceptions. I understand that a pasteurized salad dressing will not affect me physically, but for me it will not be a 100% authentic experience.

Then again, today someone was sampling out cereal she said "I think that has oil in it". So then when I reached for the ingredients, I remembered again that I am raw. The oil-free vegan and the raw oil-free vegan lifestyles bring an elevated awareness to what I am putting in my body to convert to energy. This awareness is not lost in my vita-mix. It is spread out over my whole being.

The last time I went raw, I was at my peak physical condition. I was spiritually elevated. Emotionally balanced. Musically inclined. By the way, along with optimal health, I am also in love with surfing and music...DJ Golden DeL(like the apple)
