  1. Four Months and Counting

    I cant believe I've been 100% raw for almost 5 months. Wow. So many changes in my life and body as occurred since then:

    Lost weight (more like inches). I went from a size 10 to now almost a 6. Almost!

    My skin is clearing up I still break out, but then again, I'm probably in detox mode and need to do fast of some sort.

    Less painful periods. I'm not doubled over in pain like I was before. I still bleed very heavy. Actually its much heavier now than ...

  2. Second Period on Raw

    I started my menses on Summer Solstice . This time it was w/o all of the PMS crap I normally go through. No pain, no insane chocolate cravings or painful facial breakouts. I have some slight cramping, but nothing that would have me on my hands and knees. My food binge was a pound of organic cherries and it was so cleansing - just what I needed.

  3. Raw Goals

    I need to regroup and gather myself and start new raw goals for myself. Over the next few weeks I need to:
    • Eat more green smoothies - at least two per day including spriulna
    • Drink more water - I was really good with that, but I slipped
    • Limit non-fruit sweets to one small treat per day and one large treat (slice of cake) on the weekends.
    • Start sprouting.

    Thats all, I don't want to do too much at one time.

  4. Its been a while

    I havent written in about a week or so. I guess I've been really busy with working, job hunting, working out, raw food and anything else that takes up time. I've been doing pretty well with my diet and weight so far. :)

    I start a new job with a new company next week. I'm pretty excited, but tired from trying to wrap up things with my old (soon to be old) position. Its a huge mess, but Ill get through it!

  5. How do you know?

    Friend: "So when are you two having kids?"
    Me: Probably never.
    Friend: Why not?
    Me: Well, because I cant. Physically, that is...get pregnant and carry a baby to term...remember what happened?
    Friend: You never know what might happened, keep the faith, things will change.

    My thoughts: How (insert curse words) do you know?? Are you God? I've struggled for years with my syndrome and my inability to get pregnant; now the grief of loss. For the first
