Hello!
I am new to the raw thing and have been checking out various websites and journals to gain more of an insight.
My real name is Lindsay, I am 29, live in Manchester, UK, am married with a 15 year old stepson, work full time in Human Resources and go to college part time so I am a busy lady! My hobbies include shopping, going to the gym, running and yoga.
I lost 3 stone last year through Weight Watchers and acquired a bingeing habit. I am terrified of putting the weight back on plus I still have one more stone to lose. I read one of Jason Vale's books a couple of weeks ago and loved the idea behind juicing, then my friend Summer started documenting her raw food diaries on LJ and it was like a light bulb went on in my head!
I am currently on my 13th day of eating 100% raw with only two "blips" and I am feeling more energised, my allergies are subsiding and I have lost 7lb. I am really into it and boring my husband and friends because it's all I seem to talk about!
Today I am a bit disenchanted with raw because I stupidly ate an entire pineapple last night at 8:30pm and consequently I have been up since 5am with sickness and diarrhea (sp?). Plus I have had cravings for all sorts today so have decided to give into them and go back to being raw tomorrow.
I look forward to hopefully making some friends on here. :)
