Week One
It’s only been 3 days, but I had to tell y’all how great week one is going! I’ve been eating mostly hummus, veggie pita wraps, fruit and smoothies and I even went to the gym tonight…something that I rarely (I mean RARELY) do haha. I’m determined to get back in shape and start feeling great again.
One thing I really need to work on… My bedtime.
I figured out my transition plan…
I posted last week about transitioning back to raw vegan and after much deliberation, I’ve put together a “plan”. Ideally, I would do it overnight but I know that would end in disaster (ie. Binge). Instead, I am eliminating certain foods each week like I did last May.
Week 1: NO sweets or fried foods (falafel!)
Week 2: NO gluten or sugar
Week 3: (-)cooked foods (+)raw
Also… Daily green smoothies and salads. AND YOGA!

Do you just simply use the almond oil for shaving cream or do you make amixture? I usually use the lavender body wash mix, but if that isn’t on hand, the almond oil alone works well! |
Fruit Flies = GONE
Big thank-you to those of you who gave me tips. I used them all (really, every single one).
Answering questions tomorrow. If you have anything on your mind, I would love to hear from you! :-)
I am beginning to realize that when I don’t eat right it effects every single part of my life. School, mood, romance, social… It’s remarkable. An improvement in my overall quality of life makes any and all dietary “restrictions” (though I don’t like to think of them in that way) worth it.
Transitioning Back to Raw
Hey y’all! So I’ve been doing some thinking and I have decided that it’s time for me to get back to a raw vegan diet. I felt AMAZING during the couple of months that I spent eating only fruits and vegetables and I’m ready to feel that way again. I’ve been watching YouTube videos (one of the best sources of health inspiration!) and I’m excited to wake up to an enormous green smoothie tomorrow.
I’ll be sure to post frequently. Re-transitioning won’t be fun, as I’ll be dealing with plenty of cravings and detox… But I’m really looking forward to taking this journey again!
Also, I downloaded the MyFitnessPal app so that I can keep track of what I’m eating. If anyone’s interested, let me know and I’ll send you a link to my profile.

Hi, do you use almond oil? Yes, I absolutely love almond oil! I use it as a moisturizer, makeup remover, shaving “cream”, etc and I also like to add it to my homemade lavender body wash. |
