Day 8

My goal is still to eat as close to 100% raw as I can, but I'm definitely in a bit of a slip right now. In fact, we're planning on going out as a family to our favorite Chinese buffet tomorrow. We hardly ever get to go to a restaurant, so this is a special treat. Yes, I could just eat the fresh melon that's always there. I'm not, though. lol

Breakfast: Oatmeal porridge (soaked steel cut oats, milk, butter, dates, bananas)
Lunch: Quart of green smoothie
Snack: Handful of pistachios
Dinner: pizza and popcorn (neither was raw)

So, I was all raw until dinner. I'm not going to beat myself up over this. I'm still doing really really well. I feel really good, too.

I am frustrated that my chick peas never did sprout. This morning I checked on them eagerly, hoping to see cute little tails, but instead I discovered that some had turned pink and they smelled awful! EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! I tossed those out.

That's okay, Dawn. I mean what's life without a pizza now and then!
Just hit me that the poridge has to be cold, right? And you don't mind that?

Actually cold porridge is quite wonderful during the warm months of the year. Just think of how many people enjoy cold cereal with milk. Same idea. :-)
