Green Lemonade Anyone?

So, I am about to embark on a new journey into unknown territory for me.  I am going to start eating raw, organic, healthy foods.  I know it sounds crazy but after some recent bad news from the doctor, a trip to the er, some health scares, and my obesity, I feel there is no other option but to go big or go home as the case may be.  I made a trip to Green Acres Market this evening and spent a whopping $245.00 on raw organic foods.  I plan to start full force tomorrow.  I will juice my breakfast, do a fruit mid morning snack, salad for lunch, juice or fruit for afternoon snack (organic of course) and then an organic dinner (whole wheat pasta with organic seeds of change sauce).  This is the sort of routine I want to get into.  I thought about doing a juice fast but with my diabetes, I wasn't sure I could do that and maintain good blood sugar levels so I am trying this route.  It is a lot healthier than what I have been eating.  I also think this is something that I will be able to manage and stick to.  It will be a lifestyle change but one that I am ready for and that is definitely long overdue!  I have been reading the Raw Food Detox Diet by Natalia Rose and it has great recipes and ideas in it for how to go raw and organic.  I have also joined a facebook group Kansas City Raw Food Union and folks on that are very supportive and helpful.  I am encouraged, ready, and excited for this change.  This all started for me after I got the health news a month or so ago and shared it with my friend Kellie.  She told me of a friend who did something similar and got very healthy and seemed to get his life back.  Then I read my friend Jim's fb posts about how well he was doing with juicing and going raw and so I new that I needed to do this for myself.  It is time.  So wish me luck friends and say some prayers.  I will need them.  Oh and don't invite me out for pizza unless they serve organic food or salads!  :-)  lol  

Till next time,
