End - Month 1

Well, here we are, end of Month 1.  I am down 20 lbs.  No kidding.  And this is without a daily exercise habit.  Not that I think this weight loss will continue at this rate, but I definitely feel better eating raw food the majority of the time.

And yes, you have probably noticed I eat too many bananas.  ;)

Friday January 31st
3 bananas
1 mandarin orange
1 small piece spice cake (it was brought to tai chi class in honour of two upcoming birthdays - one being mine - so I really felt like it would be rude/awkward not to have a little slice)

1 Peanut Butter Larabar
2 tbsp (1 oz) goji berries)
1 tbsp sprouted almonds
