I want to thank everyone who has participated in this RawFoodTalk.com forum. There have been some amazing exchanges here and so many words of wisdom spoken. But its time for me to close this board. I am moving on to new ventures and feel that its time for me to let this go. A forum of this size takes loads of money, time and energy. I have not been keeping up with the forum upgrades, the spam problems, etc…. which is resulting in many disgruntled emails and people calling the office daily. I’m sorry to disappoint the many of you who have spent your time and wonderful words of help and inspiration here. I hope that you have all benefited from this board and that it has helped you on your path to optimal health. I know many of you have made lasting friendships here as well. I will leave this board up for a month of so, so that you may copy what you need and any information you would like to save.

Thank you for being part of the RawFoodTalk.com community! It’s been a wonderful ride! I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next for all of you and of course, you can keep up with my adventures through my blog, Facebook and twitter. I am continuing my certification trainings and there will be some exciting new classes, events and projects coming into fruition in the near future!

All my best,
Alissa

Thank You ReneeH! I wish all that energy would come back to me. I'm exhausted all of a sudden, but this is the time of day I crash. I'm going to listen to my body and lay down. In a few days I will be at work and won't be able to do that. ;)

Sounds "rawsome" Shel. Exercise, healthy food and comfiness while curled up with a book.

I don't like interviewing either. Where do they come up with some of the questions they ask....now a days they want stories and sometimes those are hard to think of on the spot. I always come home and beat myself up over something I could have done better. I have been out of work since November Jobless rate is really high where I live.

I hope you get the job and feel better - stress stinks

One hour behind me this morning! It was a lovely walk all around and up into a beautiful neighborhood and around our own town walk. I agree having a place that has beautiful scenery is such a blessing!
One step at a time! Thanks for the encouragement!

I heartily support you in the walking. I love my morning walk with doggie. I walk through parks and around a lagoon full of birds. I feel so lucky to live near decent scenery!

And the coffee? It's my one hold out. One cup a day...but I will join the non-coffee drinkers someday!

great job on the walking! I'm sure you'll be up to two hours in no time :)

That is so good to hear. I seem to have lots of raw every meal and feel great, the minute I start depriving myself...at least that's how I feel at the moment...I struggle and blow it. I think I'm feeling rebellious against myself. Is that weird? But I can only push myself so hard in this season before I seem to brake down and I don't want to brake down. Eating a piece of planned whole wheat bread is so much better for me than a 3 mini candy bar splurge! :O I'm doing much better...I think & so...I continue on.

sounds good - no reason to pressure yourself with an all or nothing diet. I have heard from lots of different people that it's healthier to maintain high raw, than to bounce back and forth off of 100%.

GREAT job! Better is good!!! I can relate to the bad snacking... but, I'm trying to make some RAW desserts with Cacao to cut the craving for that.
ReneeH - 04-11-2009 07:37 PM
You can do it! Just take it one meal at a time. I love Jicima in my spring rolls! And, I love Alissa's cashew cream! Don't worry about mixing the perfect "dinner"...if it's RAW enjoy...you can't go wrong!!! :)
rawchic - 03-27-2009 02:28 PM
woo hoo - I'm so happy for you!
Jenifae - 03-26-2009 11:10 AM
That's great Shel Shel! :)
rawchic - 03-26-2009 11:03 AM
glad to hear you are feeling so great!

good job on the exercise! sounds like you're finding a good balance of raw & other food. whatever you can stick with is what is best. It's so hard on our bodies to bounce back and forth.
