Vegan/Raw Vegan Detox – Day 1: Go Green Baby!
Today is all about starting to get you greens in! It is quite a task and I wasn’t quite ready this morning, but I faced this issue head on thanks to Kramer’s Health Food Store & Cafe in the Chicago Loop. They make a great green energy and for $1.00 I was able to add lecithin & spirlunia. This emerging vegan sistah is ready to make some major changes – Cheers…
Vegan/Raw Vegan Detox with Karyn – September 2011
This is the Emerging Vegan Sistah pathway to change!!!!
It amazes me how so many people tell you about the end, but now how they got there – not me!! There are too many times when I’ve wanted to to know how did the person make it from point A to point B and not the PR fluff once they’ve arrived – give me the raw deal (no pun intended. lol).
Well, it September 2011 and I am excited about starting a vegan/raw vegan detox with Karyn Calabrese in Chicago. The class starts tomorrow (and it’s not too late to sign-up) but I thought I would jump start my program today. I’m a member of Karyn’s Wellness Program and it is a life changing process. I’ve decided to go full force by blogging my detox process – no reason to do this alone!! I hope to show how this walk towards wellness is possible and I hope to many of you would join me or if you’ve been on this path – share your wisdom. Here’s to changing lives one bite at a time!!!!
Vegan Meal Creation #1
Here is one of my first vegan meals. It consists of the following:
Lima beans & cornbread
Plaintains with spinach leaves & pico de galo
meatless chicken breast w/ jalapenos
Hello world!
Welcome to my new blog on changing my diet one day at a time. I’ll must tell you that I am not a vegan (yet), but I’m getting closer each day. This is for those of us who need gradual change in certain areas in our life. I must admit that I love food, but every thing that is good to us isn’t good for us. I have been reading, hearing and learning great things about the results of a vegan lifestyle. Is that the best for this sistah? Will I join the vegan bandwagon for life? Will I miss hot wings, tukey hot links, smothered chicken with onions, fried catfish???? Maybe I will! However, will I feel better by removing these things and others from my diet – according to what I am hearing and starting to learn for myself….YES I WILL! Let the transition begin!!!! I don’t need to label myself but I do believe that I will be empowered to make the best choice for my lifestyle and my body – that is very important. Come along for this ride
