Happy Thanksgiving!

Today I ate what my be my last (Thanksgiving) Tofurky. I've eaten Tofurky for the last 5 Thanksgivings and Christmases.

I took a great pic today:



LOL. Anyway, Rachel and I both had Tofurky and the vegan meal from Whole Foods today. I'll always make Tofurky for her no matter if I'm raw or not. But, there's a few different options for a raw Thanksgiving meal. Like, noasted turkey (I guess it's combination between not and roasted). So, If I stay all raw that's probably what I'll make. If I end up just being high raw, then I'll probably go ahead and eat Tofurky on Thanksgiving and Christmas still.

I'm excited that December 1st is next week. I'm going raw 1 month from next Tuesday!

Also, I just went through my whole blog and read all my posts. It's SO FUNNY to see all that stuff I wrote! I'm gonna stop doing this and start doing that, etc. Almost all the stuff I was gonna stop or start doin' didn't last a week or 2.

This raw thing isn't one of those empty promises though. This has been 7 years in the making and I'm going to put all I've got into it.

1-1-10 is so close!

In my last post I was talking about how I've been slacking. I think I'm going to go ahead and let myself slack during this last part of the year. I want to go ahead and enjoy the food I'm going to stop eating in January.

Rachel and I had a conversation about my raw plans for next year and she's all for it! She was even talking about eating some of the raw food I make!

With that being said, I think I am going to go ahead and try all raw in January and then if that's too extreme I'll just go with mostly raw.

And I just had an idea today! I think I'm going to post a daily vlog on You Tube when I go raw. I'll probably document the first month or two everyday on my lunch break since I go home for lunch.

By the way, I'm about 210 lbs right but that is going to change very soon. I can't wait to see how much weight I lose!

Wow, I have really been slacking with raw. I haven't been sticking to any of the goals I set for myself earlier in the year, like no more soy milk, no more bread etc. I've come to the conclusion that 100% raw 100% of the time is not for me. Since that conclusion I've sort of been letting myself go (with raw).

EDIT:  Don't worry, I get back into it soon after this post!  I was sort of doubting myself when I wrote this.

I get into these ruts of focusing in veganism, instead of raw. Like, I'll go back to eating scrambled tofu for breakfast (as apposed to a raw green smoothie). And then what happens is I'll go to a raw food support group (we meet every 2nd and 4th Tuesday at Georgetwon Market) and I'll get re-motivated. I love that feeling after a support group meeting! I feel so inspired. But, that feeling doesn't last very long. It's like a circle: I'll slack, then I'll go to a meeting and get inspired, I'll do good for a few days and then I'll slack.

I just can't wait for freekin' 1-1-10 to get here! That's the day I'm officially going to vow to eat as raw as I can. I'm all or nothing with veganism, but when it comes to raw it's more of a "best as I can" type of thing.

Anyway, I wanted to update this blog real quick and say that I've been slacking, but I'm going to work on that. I'm going to a support group meeting tomorrow night! I can't wait, it's so fun.
