Hello Raw Foodies!!

I haven't been on this board in ages, but I wanted to update everyone on what I've been up to. I completed a 92 day juice feast about a week and a half ago. It was an astonishing experience, and it really helped me refocus on raw. Now I'm back to eating solid foods and I feel great! I'll try to be more faithful about posting on this board, and I may as well dive in to the November 30 day challenge!

Love you all!

Okay kids, so I spent about 11 days deep down in the rabbit hole of cooked food. I was in a very dark place emotionally, and I'll be honest, that cooked food was the only thing that kept me from bursting into tears all day every day.

Here's what I learned from the experience: 1. Not getting enough sleep sends me right into cooked food. It's ridiculous. So I need ...

Okay kids, so this weekend I am traveling to Delaware (Delawhere?) for my ten year high school reunion. Woohoo!! I am so excited. I went to a small coed boarding school for high school, so these people are some of my absolute closest friends. And I haven't seen any of them in five years or more! Plus, I'm raw and coming off a two week Master Cleanse, so I'm looking thin and gorgeous baby! So that's really exciting. I'm also staying an extra day in Baltimore to sleep in a nice hotel room and ...

Trucking along with raw, and feeling good! I was at my parents' house by myself last night around dinner time, and there was lots of junk around, but none of it seemed even the teeniest bit tempting. Instead, I was excited about a banana and some flax crackers! I don't know if this cooked-food-proof phase will last, but I'm loving it. Also, I hit my lowest weight so far this morning. I haven't been this weight since before I moved to Austin. I'm psyched about it.

One thing ...

Sorry, my creativity is being sapped by a really bad headache. I think it's my neck/shoulder acting up. We did a move in my workout class the other day that got my knot all hot and bothered. And I've got to travel next week and sit in a conference all day--the absolute worst thing for my neck/shoulder. Argh! I may try to get a massage today or tomorrow to see if that will help.

So yesterday I went cashew crazy. It was really unhealthy, behavior wise, because I was really not ...
