Laziness

I have some pictures of the new sprouts, but I'm too lazy to get them off the camera right now.
The cucumbers sprouted like crazy, you can practically watch them grow. The basil and both tomatoes are coming up too. It's been a real trip to watch my son get so excited over this whole process.
I got my Raw Food Detox Diet book in the mail a few days ago. I'm very motivated, and this book has lots of great food, and ideas for going raw. The book doesn't make you go all raw 24-7 immediately, it's a process, and I really like that the author did it that way. And the recipes for the dressings and sauces look mouthwatering.
I've been eating a lot of juices and green smoothies during the day, with a cooked dinner. Usually some sort of meat with vegetables. I might cook a starch, but I usually just do this for the family. I have been noticing so much energy. I don't need my morning coffee some days. I feel so "juiced" (lol) from the juice, I don't even want it. The DH was floored when I said that I didn't have any coffee yesterday. He was like, "REALLY???"
I made some gazpacho yesterday. Technically, this is a raw recipe. Yummy. I've learned from experience to only put in one clove of raw garlic, as that stuff tends to get stronger as it sits. I followed the recipe from the detox book, but added a little balsamic vinegar. I also made an 'Effervescent Cantaloupe Soup' from my American Heart Association Low Calorie Cookbook. Thumbs down. It would have been delicious had it not had ginger ale in it. I didn't care for the bubbliness. It felt like a burning sensation almost. Otherwise the flavors were good. There was some coconut flavoring, some lime, and fat free half and half. However, the family wanted nothing to do with it. Wouldn't even try it. So I'm afraid I won't be making it again.
The calories are staying around 1600. I'm not losing any major weight, but at this point in the process, I feel so good it's not a major issue. I just know that as the eating comes along and my nutrition gets better and my body detoxes, the weight is bound to follow. There's no way that a woman of my size can maintain this weight with 1600 calories. I do have other issues, I have hypothyroidism and am also on a antidepressant/antianxiety cocktail. Both of these things can hinder weight loss and even cause weight gain. So I have that going for me, right? lol
