I want to lie to you and say that life has been so busy that I have been unable to keep you up to date with all of the fabulous things going on. lol
The truth of the matter is that I got laid off of my job and things snowballed from there. It was too expensive to stay on the raw diet so I have been off of it for a bit. It makes me sad that it is cheaper to eat in a less healthy fashion. What sense does that make?
Anyway.... I am going back on track, so please stick with me. I will be posting new recipes and even a few cooked vegan ones that I will be making on an occasion.
How I am feeling.... Not so great. I mean I don't feel awful, but that energy and happy go lucky outlook that I had every day when I was on the raw diet.... yea, its not there. My heart burn has returned and my fingers are swollen again in the morning. I think that this is important to share to anyone who is on the raw diet and thinking about going off. Yes, the raw diet can seem restricting and overwhelming, but your heath benefits in the long run are well worth the effort. I have gained about about 7 pounds in the month that I have been off this diet completely. So I am starting over and I am very excited about it.
I have found a new job, and it is going great so far. I am working with a woman who is a vegetarian and she is very interested in raw foods, so that is really helping me get back on track.
I have also finished my shrug that I was working on! yay! It fits perfect believe it or not. So for that I am grateful. I would have been very sad if I finished knitting that and it was too big, but the goal is for it to be too big this time next year. It is made from the yarn "Classy" by Dream In Color. It really is a great shrug and a very easy pattern to follow. I have gotten a lot of compliments on it so far.I am sorry if I have disappointed you all, but know that I will be back and I will be on track. Please stick with me.
