Megan And Juliano and Joel

First to tell you a brief background. Joel is a friend of mine who I met a year ago in a Landmark Seminar. One of my best girlfriends became friends with him and they started the Catalyst Cleanse company in oh about a month. And it's kicking ass now!
He used to make raw food for Dr Oz. who I still have never seen but I know is someone who is respected. Anyway, he knows his shit in the Raw world. He has been making juice and raw food for me for the past year. Thanks Joel!!
Juliano, I met on my last trip out to California. I looked up a raw food restaurant on my iPhone and his place came up in Santa Monica, Planet Raw and I fell in love with his food. He happened to be there so I talked with him about the juicing world. So I bought his book and have now decided to make a recipe a day for the next thirty days.

With all of that being said, I kicked ass the first day and stocked my fridge with everything one would need to live a raw diet. I made like five recipes with Christian and it was so much fun and the food was great. We also built a dehydrator out of a box fan and screens, with it I have made Kale chips and really good flax seed crackers. Thanks to Christian and his boyish ways, we also came up with flax seed lube which we promptly gave as a gag gift to our friend Mike for his birthday and it might turn out not to be such a gag. LOL!!
Grocery shopping used to be a nightmare for me, I used to love the Clash's song 'All lost in the Supermarket' cause that was me. But NO MORE!!
I'm a queen in the market.
I am missing my sidekick though!! I miss having someone here to banter with and go shopping with and garden with etc...I am looking for a replacement, actually that will never happen, so what I'm looking for is someone who bring something to the house that is unique and adds to it and my community. The only requirement is that they speak with Christian for an interview, he knows exactly whats up!!!
Back to the raw: so I made many things and I'm finding that it takes something to prepare your food every day. I'm having a tough time doing that with all I have going on and it's because of all of this going on that I'm doing this anyway, so the two complement each other well. I cannot forget that.
My mom is in the hospital and we are working on what the cause of this craziness is. My brother has bladder cancer and is fighting that and all that goes with the TB treatments and gout and ick!! And my niece is in the hospital with kidney stones and problems passing them.
I hate that my family isn't well right now. So i'm trying to keep myself well so I can be present with them and a support for them.
Although I had a bit of a break this past weekend. I just have to be mindful of my partying at these upcoming events. I can tend to drink a bit too much and then all thoughts and actions of health go right out the window. And for me and the Lyme Disease I have to take it easy or else I will get sick.
But to compare how my body feels on a all of the time raw or juicing diet vs. most of the time, it's easy, my body and mind rocks while eating raw and it's foggy when I'm not. I for the most part don't have digestive issues when eating raw or juicing and have so much energy.
So with that being said, I will be going to the market to fetch myself some veggies and get my raw on!! I will share some of these recipes from time to time as well.
I'm quite tired and am going to bed!!
Peace and Love to all!!
