I'm baaaaaaaaack! Hi Everyone!

[RowanC]

Hi Everyone!

I am glad to see this forum still up and running strong! I've missed you all and I've missed RAW!

Long story short:

I went to Archaeology Field School at Ft. Vancouver for the summer, where I got off my RAW regime. I have gained TEN POUNDS and feel not so good. I visited my grandmother and mother in California where I was fed a range of unhealthy foods. I left my partner, moved out, and now we're "trying one last time" -- we have been together 10 years and decided it was worth another try. He's being very supportive. We're going through Imago Therapy, which I love.

Today I got back on the RAW wagon. I have a lot of work to do.
Both diet and exercise....but I'm determined.

I'll be reading through the forum posts and responding in the next few days so I'll probably post a lot.

I hope everyone here has had a wonderful healthy summer.
It's good to be back!

You will find lots of new faces on here but some of us old die hards are still hanging on.

Hey RC!!! Welcome back. I think of you when I pull some of the books down from my shelf that I bought from you way back when. I've gone through some major changes - for the good. Read my testimony and photos at my signature.
You'll do fine. Just the fact you came back is the biggest step.
Any help I can give, let me know...
Welcome back!!!

welcome home...we'll just keep on rawkin in the free world!

[RowanC]

Where and how does one blog?

::::feeling dumb:::::confused:

[Eva]

If you look at the menu that starts with "user cp" and ends with "log out" at the top of the screen, there is one that says blogging. Click on that, then on "blog manager" to give it a title or "create new entry" to write for the day...

A bunch of us, some better than others!, keep up with each others' journey by checking out the progress and giving encouragement. It has helped me a lot, although sometimes I get into a pattern where I feel like I may be beyond help. (but that's anther topic!)

:)

Welcome back RowanC! Maybe that man is finally getting smart. You are an adventuress - I always wanted to do archeology - cool!

[Lady Green Jeans]

Welcome back RowanC. Glad to hear you're giving both relationship and raw another go. Just joined the Sept. challenge to get myself back on the 100% track.
