I'm glad I'm doing this, because it gives me an excuse to write in my blog! Absolutely nothing is happening in my financial world (oh yeah, except news of another possible expense for our UK rental flat), and July has been a very depressing month debt-reduction-wise.

Anyway, breakfast yesterday was an assortment of fresh fruit. I had half an orange, a banana, half a cantaloupe and some pineapple. Lunch was a raw veggie curry: with a sauce of blended avocado, lemon juice, olive oil, jalapeno, garlic, dates and spices; tossed with tomatoes, red bell peppers, avocados, cauliflower and soaked raw sunflower seeds; and served on a bed of sprouts. Good but very spicy! And a little seemed to go a long way; I enjoyed the first half of my portion, but then it wasn't quite as tasty to me. Still, NT mentioned that when we're back on cooked food, he'd have it on rice. I think he's right; the rice would've helped the texture a lot. My afternoon snack was several handfuls of sprouted beans and another banana.

Dinner was great; we made marinated portobello mushrooms (and a marinated salmon fillet for AS), steamed broccoli tossed with lemon olive oil, and a wild rice/basmati pilaf. Our best friends came over for our regular Wednesday TV night and seemed to genuinely enjoy the dinner. We had to show off our Vitamix, so we made a carrot-apple-orange-pineapple juice. They're actually buying a juicer, so we'll be able to enjoy healthy juices at their house too!

Oddly enough, someone at NT's job started a raw foods cleanse this past weekend too. He didn't find out until yesterday. What are the chances? Our friends said Oprah just finished a cleanse. Something must be in the air...

Oh, and my weight is holding steady but AS dropped another pound!
