Day 7 Raw Food Challenge

Hi Guys,
Well I have made it, one week along and still going strong?  I was a bit intimidated to jump on the scales this morning, cause of all the raw cake I had been eating :)  But thought it would be something people might be interested in, though I am not telling you what I started out at, a womans perogitive!!! I will tell you that I have lost 1.2kg..yeh :D That is pretty good for me as I do not lose it easily.  But that could just be all the cleansing aka loss of water. I am not doing this for weight loss though, but if it happens ;)  But the most important thing is, is that I am feeling amazing! I have got over my tiredness and ready to take on the world. Even though I am eating lots of fat, I feel really clean and light. Which is great!
So breakfast today was the last piece of cake....note to self, next time make half the amount as I am the only person that eats it in the house, and if it is there I will eat it.... Though I did manage to take a couple of pieces to my lovely friends at work who said they really liked it (best $50 bucks I spent..lol) .
Lunch was a bunch of grapes with 5 dates...love those things, if you like sweet you will love these.
For dinner I made a raw pesto with zucchini pasta, I know I keep making the pasta but it is so quick and easy and yummy. Beautifuly combines with any sauce, I don't like it cooked but raw 'bella'!
Raw Pesto

1/2 cup pine nuts
1 bunch of parsley
1tsp dried basil
1/2 cup olive oil
Blend together and you have it.

Really amazing sauce, best dinner I have made yet!!! 
See you all tomorrow :)
