Last night I had green juice when I got in from work, even managed to get my husband to drink 1/2 a pint. Wow.
Went to friends for dinner and they really had thought about me, it was lovely. I had, carrot, beets and onion all mixed, a saland of green leaves and avo, tom's mixed with cuc and celery with mint and flax crackers that they had been out to but. For pud my friend had made icecream of coconut, mango, ginger & agave. It was really lovely and the first time anyone has put any real effot into it for me, I was really happy.
Day 10 for me today.
Almond nut milk with spinich, sprilina, banana, 2 dates, cinimmon and vanilla. Yum
Pumpkin seeds to snack on then juice for lunch, carrot, apple, ginger, lemon, lettace.
Not sure this evening as I have planned to get loads of stuff ready for drying. I am going to make walnut burgers, carrot and onion bread, carrot and beet bread and granola. So I will not doubt be eating as I mix.

SV3 I know I was totally spoilt I couldn't thank her enough it was great.
Yesterday I was working in Brighton at the raw food cafe, for brecky I had a green smoothy with mango, spinich, spriulina and a bit of raw honey as the mango was not so good.
Lunch was great at the cafe, a raw pancake roll stuffed with sunflower seed cheese, sund dried toms and fresh toms with a side of green leaves.
I had a green juice when I got home as was still full, that had cuc, lime, black kale & celery.
Today is day 12 for me yippee. I made loads of stuff on Wednesday and last night so brecky today was amazing, I had raw granola with a green nut milk made with almonds, banana, dates, spinich and spriulina yummie.
My friend had worked with me this morning so she came for lunch, she's not raw but she totally loves everything that I make and I think she may like to become raw sometime. We had a big salad with raw mayo with walnut burgers on onion bread with a bit of extra beetroot bread and avo's. It was so filling but we managed to fit in a bit of pumpkin pie that I made last night. Wow it was totally yum.
I think just a greenjuice for me tonight!! The usual stuff in it.
Life seems to get better and brighter the more I am 100%, I even picked up a new client today for 16hrs a week. yippee.
Have the best weekend everyone.

So far today I've had:
3 apples
1 cantelope
1 bag of grapes
4 bananas
1 plum
pinapple
carrots
celery
simple, yet satisying
joanabanana: i would say the mango is better
Yesterday I had:
Brkfst: my boyfriend made me a surprise in the morning with a huge fruit salad (papaya and banana, mostly) with cinammon
Lunch: fresh orange juice
snack: 1 zapote with cinammon and 1 banana
diner: I made some veggie pasta, cutting 1 chaya and 1 carrot, and made some raw tomato sauce, with cut pineapple and spices mmm
had 1 banana for dessert
today so far: nothing, i will be having papaya and zapote for breakfast. I have a looot of lettuce to eat so I might make some rolls for dinner with avocado and bruschetta and a huge salad for supper... I don't feel like eating anything heavy anyway.
Have a nice day!
yesterday I had melon smoothy, raw burger with salad, raw onion bread with cuc.
Today I had so far, 2 bowels of raw granola with banana, gogis and coconut water. Rawslaw with raw burger,cuc and spinich.
Last night I had a few glasses of wine with friends, we went to see our town firework display.I always make wrong food choices when I drink. My hubby wanted a kebab so I had salad from the kebab shop but they put it in a pitta bread so I ate that as well. Shouldn't have but it was nice and I could have had worse lol.
Green juice later.
Happy Sunday everyone. x
SV3 I think that is the key really, although I was a little bad it really could have been worse. Last night my husband ordered an indian meal for 2, just for himself, I was really strong and did not have anything but it smelt so nice. I went into the kitchen to make another raw pumpkin pie instead lol.
I did not get my green juice last night but I made a choc pud from and avo, raw cacao powder, agave and vanilla, it was lovely. I think that was my treat after watching the hubby eat so much food!
Today I have been really clumsy, seems to happen when I am due. I fell down the steps whilst carrying my bike, ouch lol.
I have a green smoothy, mango, spinich and spriulina.
2 apples, 1 banana, a bunch of red grapes and a handfull of pumpkin seeds. Feeling very full and tired.
Tonight I will have green juice and a raw sandwich before going to salsa dancing.
Have fun everyone.

I stopped the challenge after about 1 week because I don't feel that it is right for me, I didn't like the restriction of labeling myself as 100% raw and prefer to trust myself to make the right food decisions as they are presented to me. I eat all raw when I'm on my own at home but if somebody offers me something non-raw or if I go out for dinner I like to be able to try those things too. At the moment I'm happy with this level of raw, I feel completely healthy and trying to stick to strict rules made me unhappy and feel restricted and therefore more likely to make unhealthy food choices as some sort of twisted compensation to myself.
However I'm glad I tried this, it is definitely something that I will have another go at in the future. I'm really impressed with all of those who have stuck with this challenge. xx
Last night I had green juice of beet greens, broc greens, celery and lime. Then I had a salad of lettace, toms, cuc, celery and broc that I made a dressing for from sunflower seeds, chillie, ginger, coconut water with spurlina in it, was very nice.
This morning I had raw granola with coconut water, 2 bananas, gogi and cocoa nibs. Lunch we went out for as one of my co workers is leaving today, I had a nice salad with olives, it had some dressing on it that I am sure wasn't raw but it was yummie. I made pumpkin pie for pud and everyone seemed to like it yippee.
Yes Violet fantastic honesty and so happy you felt you could post it. It has taken me well over a year to be able to even think of doing this challange. I do find that I am sticking to it better as I have this post to do each day. Who knows what will happen at the end of October! I will prob end up eating a roast lol. Enjoy your journey.

Yesterday I had a salad at a meeting I was attending, it was very nice but I think the dressing was not raw. Still I enjoyed it and there was only a little of the dressing. Then when I got home I had, beet and carrot bread with lettace, onions, toms, cuc, olives, raw pesto and raw goats cheese. Yum
Today is day 21 for me I have had 3 banana, mango and spinich smoothie, and I am just eating and big bowel of raw choc granola with gogies and coconut water yum. I thinkI may be eating another in a minute!
The last 2 days I have started having a spoon of hemp seed oil as I am suffering with really dry lips hopefully this will help.
Do you think we could do one of these for november too? Haha I missed the start of this one!
Today I have had a juice for brecky, apple, carrot, pepper, lemon, celery, cuc and beetroot. Lunch was the same minus the beetroot. I have had a handful of pumpkin seeds.
Nyahz & ianpeck we can carry on with this thread if you are up for it, I will have ago at doing 2 months.
RawkarateGirl, glad you felt you could be honest here, this thread has really helped me to stick to raw but lots of people have dropped off, I don't think anyone should feel pressured to do 100%, I just find it really helpful to have this to post to each day. Gives me a goal.

So last night our friends came round and ate a curry that I had made for them. I had a few glasses of wine and had a mouthful of curry, had to see if it was ok lol. Even that one spoonful gave me such a tummy ache. Ouch. I enjoyed my raw meal and our friends tried what I had made and liked it.
Today I have had a spoon of hemp oil followed by a date to take the taste away lol. A small salad of olive, toms, cuc with a tiny bit of feta cheese. Not the best thing in the world.
I am going to juice for lunch and then again this evening. I am trying to not eat after 6pm but I guess juice is ok as it is a drink?
Could use a few more hours sleep as our friends didn't leave till midnight and I get up at 5.30am. Feeling very snoozy!
I am hopeing to do a juicy week starting Monday when I am much less busy.
Blissings to everyone
