Non-diet challenge update

Hi guys,
Well it has been a couple of days and on a general whole I am feeling pretty good.  Not perfect, but that is not something to strive for anyway, hey?? ;)  Every morning I start off the day with a fruit smoothie, full of greens, or on the weekend where I have a bit more time I will whiz myself up a green juice.  I really enjoy these, especially with lemon, as it gives you so much clarity and a real energy buzz!!  For morning snack it is generally fruit, with either a soup or salad or more fruit for lunch.  Afternoon tea is fruit again, and my dinners have pretty much been all cooked.  This seems to work well for me at the moment, though my goal is to eat all raw, I have been so busy of late and the thought of preparing 2 separate meals (sometimes 3, as my husband is not the healthiest eater, so I have to prepare something healthy for them) is not very appealing.  But these cooked dinners (with a couple of exceptions) are healthy meals and leave me feeling satisfied with no guilt. :)
I hope this helps anyone out there wishing to incorporate more raw into their daily diet, as it is quite easy to eat this way, which is about 75% raw.

Lets not forget my love of raw desserts, which has diminished at all, and I can safely say love just as much if not more.  This was truly realised when I went to one of my local health cafe's and accidently bought a cooked cheesecake, instead of raw.  Well guys, it was not as good as I remember, as it used to be my favourite.  It was so sweet, sickly sweet.  I think now I am used to the fresh tastes of raw desserts. <3

I think if you concentrate on the healthy foods you love, instead of your old unhealthy favourites, eating healthy is easy, not a chore or some sort of punishment for 'enjoying the good life too much'.

There is a saying 'Love what you do and you will never have to work a day in your life'.  What about, 'Love what you eat, and you will never have to diet a day in your life'. :)
