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

I agree - back to the "norm" with this week. I just stocked up yesterday - almost don't have enough room for it all...lol. You can do it! Congrats on getting back into dancing too~monk~

Congrats on the job!

Melissa, I can relate. Times are really tough for us. Hubby works for himself as a Carpet Cleaner and hasn't gotten any calls. Scary!

That is wonderful news about a job. I have been looking around since November and the market is really slim where I live. I am hoping it picks up in the new year, I hate going to the store putting food in my cart then have to rethink thing before check and end up putting something back.

Sounds like you've found a good balance for both you and your family!

And I just so appreciated this blog from you, ShelShel. You sound like such a fine girl, a great wife and Mum. I know that my husband doesn't like it when I don't eat what he has at suppertime either, and I must admit it is so difficult for me to make 2 different kind of suppers. I also want to find balance in this quest for good health. I am feeling my way. I only want to eat food that will not cause cravings though and that will enable me to have lots of energy and to lose weight. A fine thing about raw food is that if I have plenty of it throughout the day, I am content at night to eat less. Thanks so much for sharing and all the best to you and yours.

Happy Raw Year to you!

I love looking through my raw books- sometimes I even get inspired to change up some ingredients to make things more to my liking.

2 out of 3 meals is awesome.

Let us know if you re-discover any yummy recipes!
Happy New Year :)

This is so true! I keep setting goals and not quite reaching them, but still doing so much better than I was doing...so I'm still encouraged!
MelissaO - 12-30-2008 03:34 PM
I think you are doing just fine, some raw is better than none IMO.

Funny for me I find myself having my best raw days when I don't really think about it. When I set strict goals sometimes I fall short of them.
RawKnitster - 12-29-2008 03:24 PM
Good Plan! Kudos on the exercise. :)

Hey, try SMOOTHIE #2 in the mix of your day! Lettuce, mint, bananas, & H2O! It will complement what you're already doing!!! :) Smoothies are a great way to fill you up...
ShelShel - 12-29-2008 05:26 AM
Sounds good to me Jenifae!
