Well, finances are still very nill so food is very nill. I had it hit me last night tho this could be a good thing for me. I could do a fast of sorts. Right? Question is how does one get over the hurdles of feeling hungry.. I feel I am swimming to the bathroom..hahaha.
Finances low or not. Woke up in a fairly good mood today. Drank water to 2PM. Then decided on some carrot sticks and a cucumber with avacado dip. Felt cold in my stomach. My water is just plain tap water, but it has got to be better then nothing. Get the over all crud out of my system then we can deal with the chemicals...
I did fall down to some with wheat bread (toast)and peanut butter. Still been having cravings for these raw cookies and cakes and pies I see in the recipes on boards and such... heavy sigh...
Need to get over the "need" thing. I think that is just me panicing over not much food in the house... If I can get it through to my thick scull that I am fasting.. I might get through this.
Rent is paid..Whooo Hoooo!!! Now for the phone (so I can keep my DSL) and Electricity.. Pray for me will ya if you read this??
Not much else to say for today... thanks for stopping by..

The Weekend
Well, looks like I missed a day...March 24, 2006... Sorry about that. Don't even remember much either...
I remember having a salad twice with mung beans sprouted.. those are so very good.. soft but tiny bit crunchy too. Added a cucumber with it. Drank tea most of the day.. an herb tea with fresh juice of a lemon. We did not go anywhere so temptations were none.
This weekend has been pretty dull. Trying to conserve monies for rent. Hubby has a job interview Monday. Pray that he gets it.
Food yesterday: March 25, 2006
Woke up late.. had warm water with lemon to replace my coffee. I must need something in the lemons because they sure taste good.. do not need any sweetner or anything.
I feel this really clears out my chest congestion.... No do not have a cold but seems lately there is a lot of congestion that I cough up. Getting better every day and my chest feels lighter and more open breathing wise.. that heavy weight is not there much anymore.
Very little food in the house so I was not real raw today...refused to beat myself up because of it though.... tried to stay raw as much as possible..
Made some flax seed crakers with Italian seasonings. Thought they would go well wtih my lentiles.
Had a salad about 3 PM with some sprouted Mung beans. Flax crackers also. Decided to get some lentiles sprouted. But cooked some as well.
About 7 PM had a bowl of lentiles(cooked) and some flax crackers.. They went together well.
Sunday March 26,2006
Been sleeping in really late but then have been going to bed at like 2 or 3. Woke up with a very calm feeling but then very nervous too.. that does not make much sense but if there is such a thing as a nervous clam.. well that is the stat I am in.
Drinking my warm water with lemon.
Probably will have flax crackers and lentiles again today..Salad or green smoothie also... need to keep those greens in. I have some avacados but do not know what to do with them. Do not have alot of other items to add with them. Might just add one to a smoothie.
I feel as if all nerves are on end due to worrying that rent will get paid. But for some reason there also is a calm.. Weird.
We have some auctions going but unsure if they will bring in what we need. Be so thankful when life is back and running as smoothly as before. Hate living in worry this way. Heavy sigh!

First full day ......
Hi Journal,
Well, this was the first full day of 100% raw and it went well. I stayed up late last night because I got into reading some articles online. So I slept in some. Got up around 10 am due to a phone call. Could have gone back to bed but did not. Instead I juiced a lemon and added warm water..This was my "morning coffee"
Surprisingly this held me all morning. I did not start to get hungry until around 3 PM. So decided to make a salad.. A very simple, one with salsa for the dressing.. I added a tiny bit of cumin and cayenne to give a slight Mexican flavor. It was a big plate so I got full. This held me until about 6. At this time I had some more salad which only consisted of some romaine and some cucumbers both at dinner and at lunch and again with the salsa..Yes all was raw and home made. I had no cravings until about 9 so I made a drink of raw almond milk, ground cacao, (soaked some in the almond milk. This seems to soften the cacao some so it blends better.) Then added a TBSP of coconut oil, and a touch of cinnamon. Added enough warm water to make a 32 oz glass. Tasted like hot chocolate.. Yummy...
Doesn't sound like much, but lately had not felt much like eating.. I felt tired all day but I know it was due to not getting to bed until 4 am. So I am off to bed to get some rest.. See you tomorrow.

Welcome to Aromatic Wings in the Raw!
Hi Everyone and Welcome!
I am embarking on something new here. I have never blogged before so please bear with me. Here you will find me, Debbie, aka Aromatic Wings, in my journey through Rawdom. What does this mean? Well, It means I am on a healthy quest and it involves eating only raw fruits, raw veggies, raw nuts, and raw seeds.
I am learning both blogging and being accountable for my raw self. Here I will give detail of what I have eaten and any comments I have about the day. I am also hoping this will help me with weight loss so I will be adding every now and then a weight if there seems to be any changes. So come with me and I hope you will have fun and will learn as much as I do along the way.
Just to let anyone know. I am not a newbie at being raw. I have been back and forth for about a year's time now. But I understand that being 100% raw has better benefits and is really much healthier for you. So this is me starting 100% raw. Up until this point the I have to say that I have had tremendous results even eating partially SAD (Standard American Diet) and partially Raw.
I started out weighing 305lbs and because I had not stuck with this 100% I have only lost down to 280lbs. But hey, that is good for me for now. Considering the SAD stuff I had eaten up until now. But I am finding that my body is getting more sensitive to what I put into it as fuel. When I do have sugar of some sort I do not feel well at all. I get all flushed and heart races.. It is not a fun feeling. And this is coming from a sugar freak up until about a year or so ago.
Due to finances, I am not able to eat the fancy dinners that you can find on the web for raw eating. I am fine with that. Please do not let finances keep you from doing this way of life. It Can be done with very little money. I priced a weeks worth of food for just me once and I ate like a Queen for this week. For only about $30.00. It takes an imaginative mind, some creativity and just a bit of just plain resigning to the fact that you can not have all the fancy ingredients of some of the recipes out there. It is much easier to KEEP IT SIMPLE. Besides, if you get too used to having all the fancy stuff you may get discouraged because your health doesn't move along as you liked. Too much fats from avocados or nuts can slow things down. But just remember that pay for your health NOW or pay dearly for it LATER.
Do yourself a big favor and give your body the nourishment it is crying for. Do a google search for Raw and living foods and start Your Own healthy quest to a happier healthier YOU.
Tomorrow I will give you a full days worth of what has been eaten. If you have any comments or questions please feel free to ask.
