Eating more raw foods

So Doc told me that I needed to try and eat more Alkaline.  Last week I asked him about some specifics on where to start.  He told me to do a Google search for an alkaline food list.  I found a few:

• Detailed listing of Acid/Alkaline Forming Foods
• This was my favorite of the bunch.  I keep returning back to this one as a reference.
• Alkaline Food Chart
• This one is ok.  It has pictures and is more colorful, but I still found the other easier to pick through.  This one does rank the foods within their respective categories.
• Alkaline Food List

Most of the information on these pages are similar.  A couple of variations here and there, but the common ground is still pretty obvious.

I suck at dieting and I can't stick to any food plan.  Lol.  Doc said to start with raw food smoothies and green smoothies -- focusing on foods on the list.  Sounds simple enough.  For the last week or so, I have tried making a different smoothie each day.  Today I made up one on my own.  I used: romaine, kale, spinach, arugula, parsley, ground ginger, pineapple, a tad of mango, 1 kiwi, and some water.   I put a tad of ice after a few spins.  I liked it a lot.  I almost didn't leave any for my boyfriend.  Lol.

I did some poking around for some smoothie ideas 2 weeks ago.  My preferred website at the moment is from Whole Living.  That breakfast smoothie list is just where I started.  There are probably 3 or 4 other lists on that same website.  Lots to choose from.

So the smoothies are good and easy starts.  I even make them for after workouts.  Perfect.  :)

I've also tried to eat more foods from that list in general for other meals and snacks.  Like I said: TRY.  Lol.  I suck.  Friday-Sunday I splurged a lot, but I'm not letting it bother me too much.  I'm doing a hell of a lot better on eating prepared breakfasts at home instead of stopping at Chick-fil-a.  And I'm taking better meals for lunch.  I've been drinking 2-4 bottles of water at work.  I'm on the right track..... Maybe.  Lol.
