Intoducing Myself

[ForTheHealthOfIt]

Hi everyone, I am an almost 30 year old mom of 18 month twin girls. I have always led a healthly lifestyle. I was a personal trainer before my girls were born and may start again soon. I was vegan/vegetarian for 10 years and somehow started eating meat again:confused: I started adding more raw foods and juicing to my diet about a year ago when I was just sick of my digestion issues and I believe that what you eat has everything to do with everything. So I started juicing and being really careful with my food combinations and having lots of luck. I am an athlete and race mountain bikes so when the season came up I found myself straying from my "diet" because I really wasn't sure what to eat. So I am determined to make this way of eating work for me and I have until September to get it togehter for my next race series. I have been high raw for the past week and trying out more and more new recipes everyday. I am really excited and determined to make this work for me.

Welcome to the forum... sounds like you have a good base to build on... since you were vegetarian for such a long time. I am coming at raw from a non-vegetarian, full junk-food sad diet. Hopefully your go will be easier than mine. Try to be gentle with yourself... don't focus on September much... instead consider this a life-long goal... for health and well-being. I'm sure you will be ready to run laps around the competition by September mind you... but this will be sooo beneficial in the longer run (no pun intended :p )
