Text of the page (random words):
orever avocados great flicks trouble with the curve katy perry part of me i joke i kid no actually i loved it beautiful changing colors every time i walk outside fall bike rides there s been an absence of these over the last week as well sugar fast food and really anything that doesn t belong in that vegetable marked drawer in my fridge frustration because i m still doing the same old dumb thing while hoping for different results football major bonus of not having tv cleaning hey i tried things are as hectic as ever and i know it seems strange to add more stress like what the heck will i eat because i can t handle anymore spinach but actually that kind of stress is irrelevant compared to the constant nagging i did to myself before beginning all of this tonight was a family dinner and i wasn t even slightly tempted by those homemade brownies and lasagna no really i could have those anytime in my life in fact i ve probably had them more times than i can count so what s the big deal anyway i just told myself that i could eat that lasagna instead of my sprouted wheat bread with almond butter by the way my entire family thought i had lost my mind but that i just didn t want to somehow because it made it sound like i was more in control of the situation i believed myself and did not partake of said unhealthy not raw in any way kind of gross when you think about it food it was worth it i feel awesome my nausea is minimal compared to everyday of the last 3 1 2 years i m tired but seem to have a lot of energy still feeling great in the mornings miracle p s posted by april at 10 26 pm 1 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday september 20 2012 inches well it happened i went about my biz nas today and inevidably it came up how i m doing this whole raw thing and people looked at me like i had lost my mind or like my hand just fell off or something and then they offered me tamales and cupcakes although it was slightly tempting what occurred to me was just how tough it is to change i think we all want it i do i talk about it all the time change this do that we all do it but when we do actually summon the courage to make a change and we give it all we ve got there are still those few people that turn into cheerleaders but not the good kind of cheerleaders is there actually a good kind the kind that start cheering for all the things you re trying to avoid or stop doing or change and they question you like you ve just committed a crime or something and it s just really so unhelpful to say the least fortunately i came prepared i had already considered those types of conversations and really there s just something in me right now that says do or die april and it s pretty remarkable because i m not really a do or die sort of person i m more like do and if it doesn t work out then oh what a shame but that kind of thinking gets me nowhere literally nowhere if i don t at least begin trying to change these things about myself now then in ten years i could very well be the same girl i am now so then what s the point of life if not for change so regardless of what it is that you or i are trying to change i think first and foremost it must be decided that it s the right thing to do i mean is it for your future for your happiness for the happiness of those around you for xyz going on a raw whole foods diet is something i ve wanted to do for a long long time for me because it sounded right to me it sounded good in a way that you just nod your head thinking yeah i should do that and because it sounds right to me and because it s my life i m going to do what feels right for me it s absolutely going to be hard and at moments i may truly loathe this change i brought upon myself but can i just say how great it feels to be in a world where everyone wants to change and to know that i m actually doing it it feels so incredibly good i m changing inching along it feels awesome it really does rediscovering yourself is such a challenge partly because you have to talk yourself into it and mostly because i think at times we may find ourselves with people who are afraid of change or think it s ridiculous or unnecessary and they re not afraid to tell you oh no they will make themselves loud and clear how they feel about it but they re speaking from what they want or need usually not considering the most important part which is want you want or need i confess that the last four days have been really difficult but i m honestly happier than i ve been in a long time i feel empowered happy free posted by april at 10 56 pm 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday september 19 2012 too much driving not enough chocolate my day i woke up so tired this morning i literally didn t even open my eyes until i reached the bathroom to brush my teeth i drove elle up to salt lake to meet my aunt who takes her for a few days so i can be at school like a madwoman and still have most of the week with my little babe it is exhausting for all us i then stopped by the market to get some more produce came home and made a green smoothie showered and went to school i was at school for less than an hour when it was discovered that elle has that hand foot mouth disgusting thing that apparently can be caught from dirty church floors and other small children so i left class to drive back up to north slc to get her and then drove home still drinking my now warm green smoothie poor girl slept the whole way home when your baby is sick it really throws you off i tell ya i couldn t focus on anything mostly because i was busy fussing over her and mostly because she has been glued to my side and cries when i move without her it really is so wonderful being a mother but it s heartbreaking to see them hurting with not much for you to do about it so i took her on a walk she played with the leaves and we both enjoyed the sun for awhile it was warm and comforting and made us both happy this raw thing is still going great okay it sucks but i haven t cheated once and i m determined to stay with it it only sucks because today every craving i ve ever had in my life came back to me enchiladas tortellini tortilla chips tomorrow my school is doing a fundraiser for juvenile diabetes and i m supposed to make something for the bake sale i volunteered my services long before i knew i wouldn t be able to have even a single bite it still counts if someone else bakes it true like lofthouse or great harvest because the smell of cookies or something in my house would mean complete torture and i prefer to not use torture methods in this little apartment of mine could i really not even try the batter pssh nope let s get real here it s only day 3 not day 30 and i am lacking willpower today i did find a way to cure my sweet tooth for like a second shout out to pinterest these are really really ridiculously tasty only better with chocolate but anyway raw sugar cookies 1 c almonds 1 c dates blend together in food processor or high powered blender until sticky roll out with rolling pin until 1 2 inch thick use your fav cookie cutters to make them all cute and stuff i feel decent i m soo tired but i m not sure if that s from needing more energy from what i m eating or because i woke up at 5 a m in a little while i ll go for a run and then welcome bedtime with my fav sleepytime vanilla herbal tea here s to tomorrow posted by april at 8 05 pm 1 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday september 18 2012 day 2 breakfast for this champion i woke up this morning feeling oh i don t know bomb diggity awesome seriously i woke up just feeling good i think my body is pretty happy with me and guess what i feel pretty happy with myself i finally stopped talking and started doing who knew it really would be so fantastic this ain t no fluff i wouldn t lie to you try it and see for yourself some of you have been asking what book i ve been referring to as i go about this whole raw food adventure i found this treasure and have really been in love with it there are recipes and a whole plan laid out if you want to go the raw food route i ve decided i m doing a combination of both a raw and a whole food diet my real goal is to completely free my body of all the crap i ve been eating for years so i think the raw diet is really effective in helping me do that then i plan to move forward in about three to four weeks with a whole food lifestyle i m not limiting myself to just one way but i will also tell you i don t feel limited anyway a blog i ve also been referring to is 100 days of real food which i have been reading for awhile now there s a lot of great information recipes and the how to begin taking yourself and your family off processed foods i love it whole foods on a budget is a really helpful blog too i m sure i ll continue to find them and i ll let you know about the good ones for this morning usually i d probably eat maybe a bowl of reeses puffs or kashi cinnamon harvest but i often would just skip breakfast what do you normally eat for breakfast i found that if i stopped to think about what i m actually putting in my body it s not shocking why it doesn t feel great or work the way i want it to so i made pancakes but not just any pancakes sweet potato spelt pancakes sweet potato spelt pancakes adapted from life force energy 1 c spelt flour 1 organic egg 1 c unsweetened almond milk 1 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 2 tbs organic butter fresh fruit raw almond butter whisk all ingredients together except butter and fruit until perfectly smooth heat butter in skillet on high heat using about 1 4 cup at a time place medium sized disks of batter on skillet cook for about 3 minutes on each side top with almond butter and berries share with someone you love and i had never actually had a green smoothie before so i tried it out so delicious pineapple peach green smoothie adapted from fresh blends 1 c unsweetened almond milk 1 medium banana 2 c spinach 1 large ripe peach pitted and sliced 1 c fresh pineapple sliced 1 2 c fresh squeezed pineapple juice 1 c ice put all ingredients in blender with liquid first blend until smooth fall in love i had no idea that green smoothies tasted like this i think the freshness of the fruit made a huge difference you can use frozen fruit but i think you d be compromising on taste winning posted by april at 9 52 am 1 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday september 17 2012 day 1 easy peasy light and breezy homemade pumpkin ice cream you guys on a scale of 1 to awesomeness today was so so good i don t think i ve ever been so excited to make such a significant change in my life minus andrew and elle because that was easy somehow love just makes new things a breeze so when i tell you how much i love chips and salsa or tillamook ice cream you should know that when i thought about beginning this journey i imagined myself crying outside of kneaders or something and although i don t love the idea of shunning a few of my favorite things the idea of feeling really really great for the rest of my life just seemed too good to pass up this is me learning to sacrifice good things for great things i m ready i went to sprouts formerly sunflower market to pick up the essentials they always have great produce and it s better than a bigger chain and cheaper than a smaller grocery store i heart that place if you were to take a gander at my cart this is what you d find berries tomatoes alfalfa sprouts raw almond butter lots of veggies organic butter almond milk peaches agave nectar sprouted wheat bread almonds this and that lucky for me i have the kind of husband who knows that support is crucial to being successful with such a big change in lifestyle so he bought me this and i can t even begin to tell you how awesome this has made my life within the last five hours at least it s a dream come true all i had to eat this morning was an apple mostly because i wasn t really hungry and also i wasn t a hundred percent sure what i could eat other than fruits and veggies so i made myself a snack of toast with raw almond butter and fresh peaches with cinnamon it was even better than i imagined the peach was perfection seriously it was bomb for dinner i made tortilla soup minus the tortilla maybe you re just supposed to imagine the tortilla is there tortilla soup 2 c warm water 2 roma tomatoes 1 2 large carrot i used four snack size carrots 3 mini red pepper or 1 4 slice of a regular size pepper 1 4 avocado 1 onion wedge 3 4 tsp sea salt 3 4 tsp garlic powder 3 4 tsp onion powder 1 2 tsp cumin 1 2 tsp chili powder 1 4 tsp garlic salt blend together add lime juice to taste add corn and slices of avocado if desired delicious and sooo easy ellie loved it seriously she kept asking for more and finally because fall is the most wonderful time of the year i decided to make some pumpkin ice cream it was literally the best ice cream i ve had in a long time no refined sugars no fillers nothing but pumpkin y goodness pumpkin ice cream 3 4 c unsweetened chocolate almond milk 1 8 1 4 c raw agave nectar 1 med banana 1 1 2 tbs vanilla extract 3 c ice 1 2 c pure pumpkin puree 1 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice blend together any blender will do and then try not to eat the whole thing in one day ellie and i shared some and it made so much that i put the rest in the freezer for another day when i m craving something sweet i feel pretty great no really i do surprisingly i ve had a lot of energy today and i don t feel hungry or deprived one friend who just went vegan reminded me the other day to focus on what i m adding to my diet and my life instead of what i m taking away brilliant advice there is a lot of satisfaction that comes from finally doing something that you know is good for you deciding to do it was actually much harder than the actual process tomorrow should be challenging though i m at school for 12 hours and i m definitely a social eater mind over matter mind over matter mind over matter my plan is to be prepared have back up plans and stay positive when people find out what i m doing and make discouraging remarks it s cool i got this posted by april at 7 50 pm 1 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest jump then fall whole foods here i come yesterday i almost died and by that i mean i suffered from a certain amount of pain that should only occur if one is dying because there really is no other good reason to writhe in agony as i did this is getting out of hand really if you ll take just a sec to reminisce with me upon days of old you will find this will give you a glimpse into my life unfortunately not much has improved since that time surgery waste of a lot of that would ve been better spent at h m since then
