Day Nine -- Evening

The past three days I have only been drinking 8 glasses of the lemonade -- getting pretty tired of it. But only one more day!! I went to the store tonight and purchased a high quality juicer -- one that will juice just about anything! It cost me $100.00 but I figured that might spur me on to use it more often. And I also bought a blender called the Ninja - it's especially for ice smoothies and it also came with a small food processor for making salsas and stuff, which -- believe it or not -- are sounding really good right now! I am thinking about getting a dehydrator as well to make snacks with, like dried fruit and fruit roll ups and potato crisps. Stuff I can take to work to snack on instead of chocolate. I think chocolate is the only thing I really do crave yet. Which is ok because I decided it would be too mean of me to make it a untouchable thing! I know I would go crazy. But I don't really have an appetite for any other processed or sugary foods now. I am so SO SOO hungry for fruit and veggies. I bought about $50 worth of produce tonight, don't know how long it will last me, hopefully a while. That's a lot, but if it's for my health then I can manage it somehow - God will bless me so that I can eat right. I actually bought a lot of different things - mangos, pinapple, nectarines, watermelon, muskmelon, oranges, apples, strawberries, carrots, broccoli, lettuce, calliflower, snap peas, potatoes. Just to see if I like some things more then others now, I will narrow down what I like later. (Or maybe I'll decide they all taste delicous) Everyone I rolled my cart by looked at me like I was crazy or something for having so much fruit and veggetables!! hehe ;) And it all smells SO good and I want to eat it all. I will make it through the night though. I cleaned out the refrigerator. Plan on doing the dishes tomorrow and I should probably clean out my freezer and my cupboards and get rid of everything that is processed and bad for me. My cupboards will be empty then! :)
But the more I read about this raw food diet, the more intrigued I am by it and want to do it. They say it will be easier to adjust to the diet when you've done a fast and purged your body of all the toxins of meat and processed foods. So-- at first I was going to just try 2 weeks. But now I will try a month.
Can't wait for that OJ in the morning! Fresh squeezed too!!
