Day 13 of Raw Shred

-
16 oz of plain water

Mug of hot water with fresh ginger and lemon (still suffering from the naughtiness)

2 oz fresh wheatgrass juice

Mug of organic coffee with 1 tsp coconut sugar

Today I worked out in the early afternoon, my time of choice.

For the next 6 days I am going to do arms every single day. My posts are each a day behind, so I am writing this post on Monday but it won't be posted until Tuesday. (note to myself so I will remember my exact dates of this shred and our Advent celebrations/rituals)

 Today I began with an easy arm warm up from Fitappy.com:

Then I did this arm routine XHIT Daily:

This was a great cardio to get me warmed up and panting very quickly--feel the burn!!!

To finish it off I did an intense 7 minute cardio:

Today's Blended Soup:


Bananas, 3 heads of baby bok choy, 3 Medjool pitted dates and frozen mango, plus some Organic India Fiber. 






So last night was a beautiful night. The temperature was in the 60's, we went to church for the Advent Penance Service, came home and made a cozy fire.

Then we got some blankets and pillows and cuddled by the fire as we planned the remainder of our Advent preparations. Tomorrow we will set up and bless the Nativity and scrub the front porches and decks to ready them for lights and garland.


+JMJ+ Today I am grateful for the warmth of a blazing and crackling fire. The sounds it was making were amazing--it was the picture perfect fire and what a blessing to share it with my beautiful family.

Another Salad Dressing Post

-
Today I would like to share some really great raw salad dressings. Wait, aren't all salad dressings considered raw? No they are not. Remember, you have to be very careful about the ingredients you use. Raw salad dressings are as unprocessed as possible. Using ingredients that are as close as possible to their natural state. That is why I choose first cold pressed olive oils, unpasteurized apple cider vinegar and coconut vinegar, fresh herbs, vegetables and fruits. You get the picture. But keep in mind sometimes I will use a small amount of ingredients that may not be truly raw. For example, real maple syrup is heated to reduce the amount of water content and to make the syrup into what it is when we purchase it in jars. And I am pretty sure balsamic vinegar is not raw. I still love the taste sometimes in dressings so I don't mind using a tiny amount. I am not an extreme raw foodist . If I choose to eat something that is not raw I am fine with that. Keep it simple or ...

My First Post

~ JMJ ~ I am happy to start posting on my new blog. I should introduce myself first. I am a wife and a mother of five children. I home school all of my children for religious and academic reasons. I choose to eat a raw living food diet. I love raw food and how this living food makes me feel. I have been eating raw living foods since November, 2009. My goal is to consume foods as close as possible to the way they appear in nature, the way God created them to be. Here I will share my experiences with the raw food lifestyle and great recipes I make/create each day. I will share raw food recipes, my sprouting adventures, square foot gardening and container gardening, favorite raw food book titles, raw food products, kitchen appliances, and tools that have helped me with food preparation. From time-to-time I just might share some homeschooling thoughts, experiences, ideas, and tips. I will also take time to reflect back on my days and find all the ways I can experience g...

Stung by a Scorpion

Each year we make it a point to travel up to our favorite spot in the mountains. Some times we even get up there twice in one year. We decided to plan a our trip during the week that we normally attend the Homeschooling Conference. This year I just didn't feel the need to go to the conference and preferred a relaxing week in the mountains instead. This is the new cabin we chose. It is in the same area that we always go but we wanted to try staying at a different cabin for some variety. The cabin was lovely and we loved the property. Our views were stunning.  Almost every night we enjoyed a blazing camp fire and even some glutenfree, vegan smores. We even could go on hikes right down the hill of the property we were renting. The kids had a blast exploring all that nature has to offer. We did many other fun things with the children to enjoy our time together. We took some of them horseback riding and the rest of us enjoyed following along in a c...
