Step 1: Create Blog

I decided to keep a record of my daily food intake because of Angela Stokes' book, Raw Emotions. I've been working through this tome in hopes of coming to some greater appreciation of who I am and how I can deprogram my dietary habits. What I am finding is that I am a culmination of many things and that deprogramming is a heavy undertaking. Luckily, I have a partner who is a double-Cancer. And chocolate.

I am a raw vegan chef and own Rite Food and Company. I run workshops on intentional and intuitive eating and offer nutritional consultations and life skills coaching. I am much more than this, but, for now, this is me.

I am starting today with a listing of what I've had to eat today and will continue to do this with added observations, notes on progress, and the occasional recipe.

Note: Capitalized recipes are my own.

Today's Observations
I've been thinking a lot about solid food and fluid intake quantities. I am working towards creating greater balance in my solids vs. my fluids. Thinking a lot about Daniel Vitalis' work and his understanding of the Elements.
