Note 99 (3rd Annual Review)

Three years of being a raw foodist. I review my diet and health for the past year and compare it to the previous two years.

Note 98 (apr/2013 cost calculation)

After a huge monthly bill last month, I stop purchasing all snack foods and go back to my apple-cinnamon almond butter. I go to a couple raw eateries for the first time in awhile.

Note 97 (36 month health review)

Moist spring weather bring fewer bleeding noses, however for some reason I get two cold sores forming normally. Heartburn becomes more common, then dissipates at the end of the month.

Note 96 (mar/2013 cost calculation)

Almost hit $1000 this month. I attribute that to my increasing “snack” purchases of things like raw food cakes.

Note 95 (35 month health review)

This month i’ve got in to the habit of not writing every day. Probably due to the month being busier than usual for me, however my health this month was also very similar from day to day.

Note 94 (feb/2013 cost calculation)

All Baldwin all the time. A month without The Big Carrot. I can now get some items at Baldwin by special order, that previously I could only get at The Big Carrot.

Note 93 (34 month health review)

This month is a lot like the last month.

Note 92 – The Big Salad

My large evening salad hasn’t changed much over the past year. I guess it’s perfect. lol
It has all organic ingredients. Fresh ground black pepper, hemp seeds, walnuts, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red pepper, avocado…and sometimes black olives. I mix that up with the RawFoodz salad dressing as you see in the photo, and then put in enough romaine lettuce until there’s no room for any more. (the bowl is 8.5″/22cm in diameter) And I don’t share. lol

 

The Big Salad…awaiting the final touch. Lettuce.

 

Voila. The Big Salad with kelp noodles.

Note 91 (jan/2013 cost calculation)

A fairly typical month, although I felt I was buying more pre-made “snacks” than usual. (Live Organic Raw products:  Cheesy Brazil Nut Nori and Almond Dream Bar)

Note 90 (33 month health review)

What I thought was a mole for many months turned out to be a wart, and now within the space of a week it has disappeared. My mind seems to be a lot more active the past two months. I assume that’s just the ups and downs of the greens, caffeine and sugars in my food. It might be stress though. I only seem to notice when my random thoughts get very negative. My overall attitude is good, and I feel good despite the issues I list in these reviews.
