Friday May 8th
The scene: Raw Potluck tonight at the house. The day was spent moving ALL the boxes and furniture to the garage for the sale. Then I went through the garage (which all of us use as storage) and got to organize and minimize. I have dirt sweat prints on my hemp t-shirt, grit under my nails, 2 splinters and a HUGE grin!

What did I discover today?
- With all the manual labor and exertion I've been putting forth all week, I'm finding myself more ravenous than usual. I ate WAY over my FAT quota for lunch and felt it pushing up on my throat - gross. The body would make different choices.
- The veggie juice on hand really helped yesterday while I was working away...
- AND NOW (hear a drum roll please) The Chia Cookie Dough secret recipe for you, the Becoming Younger Family!

What did I discover today?
- Last night was our potluck and I ate some of the most delicious sauerkraut on the planet, created by nature and my housemate Kevin. Unfortunately, today my teeth sensitivity is excruciating --- even tonight I am still having trouble biting down on anything.
- Since becoming Raw I have had many teeth issues for a variety of reasons. As such, I've been working at re-building my enamel and keeping my body less acidic. However, one blow like this evidently turns the tide fairly quickly. That's the last of sauerkraut for me for a WHILE!
- Not being able to chew my food well, I didn't feel satisfied and overate at the last minute on almond butter and agave because it was Soft and I could actually roll it around my mouth a bit.
- CHEW CHEW CHEW --- it's a great weight loss trick...and it just so happens to be super healthy too!
