Day 6 – Hands Off My Nut Meat
The kids have told me that every Tuesday night is officially Taco night. I know they like tacos, and all things Tex-Mex (and I think they also like to speak alliteratively by saying “Taco Tuesdays” as many times as possible until they’re sure I know what I’m supposed to cook for them that night). Me, personally?…
Day 5 – Mixing It Up

Day 27: My 4th Day 100% Raw
Today will be my 4th 100% raw day in a row this week. I feel like a mental fog has lifted. The internal fight with my cravings has lessened. I just can’t believe how much of a fight Tuesday and Wed were. I was really crazy, but I made it. Had a big salad from…
