Hello! I'm new and starting Raw tomorrow!

[RawMuthaTrucka]

I am a long haul truck driver. I drive cross country (and back again) in a semi with my husband and my little chihuahua.
January 08 I was at my highest weight of 278. I have since then lost down to 248 on a vegan eating plan.
I have been dabbling in raw food for a while now and am ready to go all out.
Tomorrow starts day 1 as a RawMuthaTrucka. Wish me luck!

Let me be the first one to wish you great success!

[RawMuthaTrucka]

Thank you very much! I'm excited and can't wait to feel better and see my body change! :)

[Anastazia]

Congrats on bein' ready, & divin' in, full steam ahead!
Are you going to be trying to find food you can eat in roadside diners, or bringin' your own...or both? You could bring a little coolerbag fulla stuff to make salads filling, & with some superfoods & stuff...
...I'd like to hear more about what your plans are to make this work for you!

Welcome!!! I wish you the best of rawesome health!!

[RawMuthaTrucka]

Many thanks!

We are fortunate enough to have a big truck equipped with a refrigerator as well as a cooler. I have a dehydrator, although it is at home right now. I'm bringing it out with me in 2 weeks when I go home, until then its fresh salads, raw pastas, and fruits and veggies. We have a power inverter which allows us to run a blender and a dehydrator, I just need to bring them both with me! I will also take a good headshot of myself and my husband today for future reference.
One great thing about our job is I travel all 48 states and I am always stopping at roadside fruit and veggie stands. Locals seem very appreciative for our business and I am very appreciative of their fresh yummy food!

Thanks again!

Awesome!!!

Welcome and I love your screen name!:D

[RawMuthaTrucka]

Thank you! Uncookin' is easiier than cookin' in my rollin' kitchen!

I can't take credit for the name. That's the workings of my husband. :)

Thanks again for the warm welcome. I will continue to lurk around and ask questions where I need to.

[Anastazia]

Wow, whatta set-up! no roadside diners for you, huh?

So how'd your first day go???

~Anastazia~

[RawMuthaTrucka]

First day went fabulous, thanks for asking. Day 2 is going well so far. I am CRAVING watermelon. Maybe because its so hot outside. MUST have watermelon really soon.

Thanks again!

[Anastazia]

Well, hop in that truck, & come on up to my place (you do travel to Canada, don't you?), I've got a big juicy organic one ready to be shared! I crave watermelon, too, & I think it's especially when I have edema, or am getting overheated too often...

...hey, when you do get some watermelon, (if ya can't wait until you come visit!) try juicing some of it, you'll love it! (easy to make in juicer or blender!)

Remember to take & record your measurements, they can really change even when the scale doesn't! & I'm curious, what are your plans for increasing movement?

{I remember seeing a trucker at a truck stop once go into the bathroom & come out in jogging attire, & take off around the little roadside park-like area, & watched them go around it like ten times before we drove off!}

Have a fantabulous second day! (& third, & fourth, & a wonderful week, & month, & year! I'm so excited to see what you'll accomplish, & what RAW will accomplish in your life!)
