Brrrrr....

If you always do what you have always done, you'll always get what you have always got.

We have had terrible snow and cold weather here for a while now....Brrrr SNOW! SNOW! AND MORE SNOW!!
I remember in the 70's the snow used to be SOOO much worse AND much much deeper than it gets today but the country still went about it's business, or it seemed to, but NOW! A bit of snow and the country has practically come to a stand still....MAD!!

Right, back to today and weigh in. I have lost 1/2lb this week, not bad considering what I have been eating. I have been sticking to my raw BUT WOW! The amount of Nuts I seemed to have put away this week is crazy, so this next week I am going to cut right back on them.
I have been making a load of Yum Pots....teehee This recipe is Matt Monarchs and it goes like this:

7oz Coconut Oil
8oz Nut Butter, I prefer Cashew Nuts
1/2 c Lucuma Powder

Blend together, pour into a dish or small pots and put into the fridge to set.

These are so sweet and creamy.
I put more Lucuma powder in than the recipe states because I love it so much. It is a sweet biscuity flavour....YUM! I also put less Coconut Oil in at 6oz
I tend to blend my own Cashews as I have found this to be nicer in flavour and seems to have less oil floating around.
Matt also adds Goji Berries and Buckwheaties for the crunch but I'm happy to have this without the crunch.

I have some Buckwheats sprouting to make my own Buckwheaties as these are great sprinkled onto breakfasts, salad etc.

I seriously need to do a grocery shop but for now I have enough of what I need for a few more days.
I have to be careful and not buy Fruit & Veg too early when I still have some already in the Fridge so I am eating it as fresh as possible when all the nutrients and vitamins are at their highest and their best, got to say though, I am having frozen Spinach in my Green Smoothies now and it is really nice. Sometimes with some Fruit & Veg I can tell if it has been in the freezer but not with Spinach....GREAT! I know frozen Fruit and Veg has a load of nutrients etc still in them when they are fozen but like I said, it is the taste to me.

Today I have the washing machine going....don't I always? Not a lot else going on because we are all snuggled in the house because of this freezing weather.

I think that is all for now.
I PROMISE I will make more of an effort and blog daily. I do have something going on at the moment which I think is about to hit the fan.....ummm I will let you know as and when.

I will get back tomorrow even if it is to just say "hi"

***UPDATE***

I have just made some Chicken and Vegetable Pie's for the family which are in the oven cooking for their evening meal, I am thinking of having some also as Saturday is my relaxed day, not that sticking to raw is hard in any way, I always enjoy my raw meals but at the weekends it is nice to not have to do loads of different meals, also at the weekend I usually have some Chocolate from the market BUT I didn't today....TICK VG - so a tad of Chicken & Veg pie for me instead I think....the market was on today but I didn't get Chocolate.
It always feels good when I have got the evening meal done because that is more or less the end of my working day.....more or less!

Just to let you know, the snow has been washed away by rain....YAAAHOOO

I am still doing laundry because I have all the works clothes and uniforms to wash ready for the new week.

Oh!!!! The depression is feeling alright again.....ummmm until the thing that is going on hits the fan then it might put me on a downer again.....HEY! NO!!! I WONT LET IT!!!!!!!

I AM IN CONTROL HERE!!!!!!!

Back tomorrow!!
