Hi Everybody!
I am from Texas. I am a single mom of seven children. I started my raw food journey in 2005 at 212 pounds and in pain all the time! During my last pregnancy, in 2006, I was 99% raw and had a great pregnancy and delivery. I also went to Alissa's raw food teacher training during that time. It was awesome! I loved living on raw food and was feeling great! Post delivery, I went right back to a healthy weight and was preparing for a marathon. On my 40th birthday, I ran 10 miles!
Then, disaster struck. No, not a hurricane. Prayers and good thoughts going out to all of you that live out that way. My disaster was a divorce and several other major issues in less than six months. I went back to eating the old stand-by SAD way. I gained back 46 of the pounds I had lost, plus the health problems in triplicate. My avatar is from a skirt chaser 5K I did at the height of my wellness. I want to remember what that felt like. Keep it front and center. I finally feel like I can concentrate on me again. I am back to rediscover myself. My health. My well being. My energy. Hopefully my running. Hopefully laughter again. I used to giggle in my sleep when I was raw. So, I am committing to the 30 day raw challenge and am very excited. Purchased fruit today. See you on the boards!
