  1. I started a juice fast :)

    Well, I've been toying around with fasting these past few months. I did a short 7 day juice fast and a 12 day master cleanse. I was feeling pretty good about it all and so I've decided to push the envelope a bit and start a 92 day juice feast. Ok, so it's pushing the envelope a lot, but I AM SO EXCITED!!! I've been reading on it for a few months, bought the best juicer in the world (well the easiest anyhow) and am really happy to be doing this.

    I'd like to post every now and again ...

  2. Almost a full year away...

    I can't believe that it's almost been a full year since I've been here on RFT. While I've been mostly good (read: mostly vegan) this past year, I am really starting to miss the feelings of bliss I experienced while raw. I think the realization that I'm still slightly overweight, tired, and in all honestly, more than a little lethargic in spirit makes me miss the good ol' days.

    So, I'm back! I'm so happy to be here. Reading all the post just reminds me how much I miss the sense

  3. Already a belly?

    I have always been one of those girls that never looked pregnant until I was about 5-6 months. Always just looked like I was gaining weight (bummer) BUT it looks like now at only 2 months I am looking a little bloated. I don't know how to feel about this. Perhaps what I am eating is making me a little bloated. Perhaps I am retaining water. Or perhaps the fact that this is my fifth pregnancy has something to do with it ;) . Anyway...

    Still eating lots of fruit. My body DOES ...

  4. Baby know best

    These last few weeks have been very difficult for me. Maybe I should say that I have made these last few weeks difficult for me. I decided early on that I would eat raw, or at least a very high raw, but I wouldn't try and limit my diet to 100% in case I was craving something the baby needed. But of course in total food junkie fashion, I ended up eating cooked foods more and more. Then the morning sickness started and well, it was all down hill from there. I've been feeling awful now for about ...

  5. I can't believe I'm pregnant AGAIN!

    I had flown out to see my family in the states and was experiencing the worst jet lag. Usually it takes me a day maybe two to get over it, but here I was a week later and I still was having a hard time. I decided I was going to really make an effort to eat 100% raw because I really needed the energy. Of course I started to feel better and didn't think too much about it. Then I noticed a couple of weeks later that I was late. I had only had one period the previous month since I quit nursing ...
