Namaste,
Awesome bike is it yours?

[Alwaystriving]

It's a Ducati superbike--way out of my league. I usually ride a Beamer R1150 GS or an RT. Have a few other nice ones in the stable. They're a lot of fun.
Blessings

Hi Tim,

You are from my hometown .... Welcome !! I've been apart of this message board for one month now and have enjoyed the correspondence. Its a great group of supportive people. :)

[Alwaystriving]

Thanks Carmel, for the welcome. I greatly enjoyed reading your posts before I joined the board. Your balanced aproach to the Raw Diet and general outlook are so refreshing.

Hi Tim--GS06, I just sent you a private message. If you ever come back to StL to visit family let me know. We have a Saint Louis-based Yahoo group, a monthly Raw potluck and a meetup with Raw food preparation. Sent you the link.

Since joining the board I've been inspired to do a three-day fast. It's nice to find such support. I'm twenty-four hours into it. Looking forward to greeting the New Year with that clarity of mind and feeling of lightness that I have not experienced for a while.

Peace,
Tim

Hi Vess
When I started the raw diet I had a girlfriend who was getting into it at the same time also. That was a great help. I started by periodically fasting and getting regular colonics. Then I discovered a book by Victoras Kulvinskas, followed by other books. I've always done things that were not mainstream. I bought myself a colema board a few years ago. I use that whenever I fast. It really helps.

I know what you mean about the night time. I've made some awful food combinations and overeaten raw foods many times. I feel I can partially make up for these things with the colema board. There have been plenty of times that I fell down but you just gotta get back on that horse and try again.

I don't feel qualified to know why you're energy is down. It could be so many things; lack of sleep is something that I'm constantly dealing with, and still trying to improve. When in doubt do a fast. It builds your resolve. Hang in there
