Food Porn

....ugh.

After three days of eating like a lunatic I am porning out on all these vegan/raw food websites. Its funny that despite my burger-love vegan eating and raw food really appeal to me.

Back in my Prescott College days I ate a mostly vegan diet (supplemented by the veggie co-op, dumpster diving and my girlfriend-at-the-times own preferences) while sneaking the occasional Carl's Junior Low Card $6 Burger.

You know I loved it. And I also love making my food fresh out of (mostly) whole ingredients.

I've also been forgetting my vitamins. Its incredible how quickly I've noticed the difference. P90X tires me out, but I think the lethargy has everything to do with what I have-and haven't- been putting in.

I'm really looking forward to this beauty:

...which came to my attention via the lovely Eat. Run. Do Yoga., which I happily stumbled across at the (very) beginning of my P90X journey.

The loveliness above is composed of the following (stolen DIRECTLY from Eat. Run. Do Yoga.):

Here’s what you do:

1. Cut up two bananas into 1 inch chunks and toss into a plastic bag. Store the bananas in your freezer for at least three hours
2. Put the frozen bananas into your food processor and whirl away for about 4-5 minutes.
3. TA DA! Now you have a creamy, low cal, low fat, raw, vegan, delicious treat for two! I added a few blueberries and a drizzle of Bees n Blossoms honey. You could also mix together agave + cocoa powder for a chocolatey topping, or my favorite - pb2!

I really love her blog because I feel like it will help me keep my yoga momentum till I can physically be there again. I'm planning on working my hot yoga classes back into my schedule after next week.

And maybe developing a more regular practice will help my sleeping. I've really been having a hard time with that lately and in addition to frying my mind I'm certain its not helping me lose these extra pounds.

Anyway, here is my raw/vegan wishlist:
