Total weight loss since day 1: 1 stone 7 lb
At certain times of the month us girls experience a little weight gain and now this is my time to experience that, because for the past 2 days I have been 100% raw but I won't be saying that tomorrow as it's my Mum's birthday and she wants me to cook her a nut roast with all the trimmings...and I can't just cook the bloomin' thing and not eat it, so I will be indulging - just to be sociable of course!
Today I made myself Raw vegan cheesy almond rosemary crackers and here's how it all came together:
2 cups almonds soaked overnight and drained (or leftover almond pulp works just as well).
4 tbspn ground flax meal
4 tbspn nutritional yeast
1/2 tsp sea salt
black pepper to taste
1/2 - 1 cup water, adjust as needed
3 tbspn fresh rosemary, chopped
Place almonds, flax meal, nutritional yeast, salt, pepper and rosemary in a food processor. Pulse to combine.
Turn the motor on and drizzle in 1/2 cup water. Process for a minute or two, stopping to scrape the bowl down.
Add more water as needed until the mixture is spreadable (not liquidy, but not at all pasty).
Spread mixture onto a single Teflex-lined dehydrator sheet. Score into cracker shapes. Dehydrate at 115ยบ for 12 hours. Remember to flip over after 8 hours and remove Teflex sheet.

After coming back from the gym I made myself a delicious smoothie of banana, strawberry and spinach.
For lunch I had olives and 1 avocado. During the afternoon I snacked on 4 mandarins. For dinner I put together a yummy large salad consisting of lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes chopped up into small pieces, carrot, olives, sunflower seeds, raisins and I made a Dijon mustard dressing.
Tomorrow I will just have to scrub that day out for any chance of losing weight or staying raw as my friend is making me a vegan lunch and I have the special birthday dinner to cook in the evening.
Thursday will be a fasting day to lose those few pounds that I may put on tomorrow!
On the positive side...I am feeling really good, the new gym workout is getting easier (but not too easy!), I do feel fitter, the flabby bits are starting to tighten and my mood is positive...so 'chocolate balls' to the excess weight that just wants to cling on...your days are numbered!
Hasta pronto
