  1. Day 8

    Well. Here I am at the end of the first week of the challenge, and the first month of my raw food journey. Wow. Heightened sense of smell, taste, a sense of calmness...very nice.

    I have chosen, after much prayer and thought, to not do a juice fast right now. My mind goes bonkers when I start to try to do a fast of any kind, and I think THAT is something I need to explore. Plus, one of the main reasons I chose to do this transition to raw was to heal, and I need to not only heal physically, ...

  2. Day 7 - part 2... The Miracle!

    Ok, I know I already blogged today but I have to write this down because I can hardly believe it... My little sister, the queen of McDonalds, my very first baby and one of my best friends in the world (yes, this is all the same person) told me this morning that she has decided to GIVE UP EATING MEAT!!! You don't understand how big this is... She normally eats fast food 6-10 times a week and doesn't eat healthy b/c she says it's too expensive (which it is!). But, anyway, she said that she's not ...

  4. Starting to feel like there is hope for me.

    A couple of days ago I started to gain weight. Where did that come from? I was already feeling discouraged because I did not let go of any weight for an entire month of being raw. I am happy that today, Day 7 of An Amazing April 30 Day Challenge, I'm starting to let go again. If I could just keep releasing, then I will reach my goal. I really thing when I eat "good fats" the don't understand that they are "good fats" so they stick to me like the bad fats. I love raw almonds, ...

  5. Day 7

    Had a rough day yesterday and didn't go juice alone as planned. Probably trying it on a holiday weekend was not a good idea, as I really wanted to be in a better space about it. I may try for tomorrow to start. I also wanted to do a 4 day fast every month during my moontime, which is now, so I will catch the end of it.

    We had Easter here today. We aren't religious, so its just a family party day really. But...lots of goodies. I am thinking jelly beans aren't raw... had a few of ...
