I am going back tomorrow and I can't wait and I'm hoping that the workout won't be too rough since I've been out of the loop for a week. I envy you and everyone else that runs. I've been telling myself that I'm going to get into it and I just haven't yet. I just have to do it.xvavaveganxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06631140173063582288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1699005963148371890.post-66951351512409141902012-01-22T20:36:59.476-05:002012-01-22T20:36:59.476-05:00You and Maud with your wraps!!

I hear you on missing workouts. It snowed here this past week and I haven't been running for 5 days!! I'm getting fat and lazy. I could have gone today, but didn't...LAZY. But tomorrow, I'm back to the regular routine, which I know will feel good.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02114977921830686539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1699005963148371890.post-70152490869599575672012-01-22T11:55:40.584-05:002012-01-22T11:55:40.584-05:00Thanks!

I would definitely try using it as a wrap!<br /><br />OMG that was you! can you do me a favor and re-send it!? I had a yahoo mail situation and lost a bunch of e-mails but I saw it in my inbox...hadn't had a chance to look yet! That's so awesome thanks!!xvavaveganxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06631140173063582288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1699005963148371890.post-80818083370777397402012-01-22T11:14:19.217-05:002012-01-22T11:14:19.217-05:00Glad you're feeling better.

I have some chard in the fridge right now and trying to think of a new way to use it, but but I'm not sure I'm up to eating it raw yet.<br /><br />Happy weekend.<br /><br />P.S.

I use a mezzaluna type chopper. http://www.amazon.com/Mezzaluna-Herb-Chopper-Cutting-Board/dp/B004M6LIRW/ref=sr_1_30?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1327196481&sr=1-30 that is the one that most resembles the actual chopper... I got mine for like 6 bucks.

The recipes in CSD are actually really lovely with tons of beautiful, natural flavor. You can also build up to it by making meals that are 60-80% raw veggies (a big salad always works) and the rest of gluten free grains with a little protein. The Buddha Bowl is a really great way to ease in I think!<br /><br />Try just easing into it, making one change at a time. Maybe just try making sure you eat a little more raw food every day. then take it from there :)xvavaveganxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06631140173063582288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1699005963148371890.post-87810570493667448852012-01-20T18:57:42.110-05:002012-01-20T18:57:42.110-05:00Thanks Nikki!

The smoothie was delicious and I just got some vanilla protein powder (not so shockingly I only really buy chocolate) so I bet it will probably taste even better next time.

You should totally get a chopper.
