Can you believe it, I survived a whole day! It had to have been the huge response I woke up to as friends filled my Facebook wall with all of their support! I'm stoked that some have decided to join me! I feel like such a rookie, so bare with me. The people that have inspired me to do this are pretty awesome, so I have some big shoes to fill. Their stories are pretty amazing & I'm hoping they'll let me feature them... Who's first?!...
Before you begin you need to clear your body of all the things you think you love. Like sugar, white flour & processed foods. Start replacing them with whole foods like fruits, veggies, nuts, raw honey, whole grains. I found that almonds helped me fight off my sugar cravings. Start off slow so you don't throw your system for a loop. Then over a week and a half or so you'll be adding enough raw fruits and veggies to jump start your metabolism & which also leads into a easier transition to a 100 % raw diet.
And so it begins... These are my tips for DAY 1...#1 don't start off with kale & ginger. You be fighting it all morning. Although I did learn that adding lemon tones it down a bit. #2 Get a good night sleep. Your first day, you'll need all the energy you can get. #3 Plan ahead, know exactly what you are going to juice & give yourself some time. #4 Have a song of the day....
I've always been a music lover. There was a time when you could quiz me on any song and I would know the next line in the lyrics. So before I started my juicier this morning, I knew I need to have something nearby me that I could use through out the day, if I starting craving something... like peanut butter. (Why I craved peanut butter today I have no clue?) So, I chose music as my "save me" something. I actually decided that I would have a different song everyday I'd listen to dance the cravings out. I'm not a good dancer so you could imagine the laughing that begins once I turn on my theme song. Today it was this one....

You could only imagine how hard I had to play the air keyboard to get over the need for peanut butter;).... What's your theme song going to be?
