So this is Cleanse day 7. It hasn’t been fully a juice cleanse and I haven’t stayed 100% raw, but I have been eating a lot better.
My day’s consist of mostly juice with the occasional raw food treat. I have had some cooked food, I slipped up and had some chips, but I kept it gluten free and yesterday I made a sweet potato.
But what this cleanse has really made me think about is how do I want to keep on living my life. Sure trying to be a raw foodist presents its challenges, but the more time I spend eating raw foods the more interested I’ve become.
It makes me a little sad because I love cooking so much, and when I think about choosing a lifestyle where I wouldn’t be cooking a traditional way, I’m not sure how I feel about that.
I’ve also been thinking a lot about my future. I’ve worked really hard in my career and I know it’s something I love, but more and more something keeps pulling me towards a career in food. Or something food related.
I was telling someone the other day how much I loved to cook, and they asked me why I didn’t go to culinary school. It’s always been something that I’ve thought about in a romantic way, like wouldn’t that be nice. But now that I am vegan, and more and more leaning towards raw foods, a traditional culinary school would never work.
Then I found out about 105 Degrees Academy.
More on that later.
