  1. day 7 - Things change when you decide to.

    It was interesting that yesterdays' rant about perfection seemed to solidify my decision to go raw, and also to improve other areas of my life (thanks Elizabeth and Snownoir!!) Hubby has very impressed with the stuffed portabella, and kept asking how did I get it to taste soo fresh? he is also interested in seeing how the sprouts I started (alfalfa, clover, broccoli) are doing. They have little 1/2 in white tails now.

    This morning I made him a banana papaya smoothie with a little ...

  2. Day 9 (depression)

    Well here's day 9.

    I haven't weighed myself as per my determination not to look at the scale. But I still feel like I haven't lost any weight. Feeling a bit down and frustrated.

But my weight has been such a huge issue for so long that it's hard to detach myself from that aspect.

  4. Day 7 Zepter VacSy Products?

    I was reading Carol Alt's raw food cookbook and she talks about Zepter VacSy brand containers that vacuum seal your food. I guess this would be similar to the vacuum seal bags that a lot of folks seem to use, however, the VacSy stuff is actually a container. The products are kind of pricey, but I am thinking they might be very convenient for me. I am meeting with a sales rep on Friday to see some of the products and maybe make a purchase. The project that I am on right now is in another city. ...

  5. Day 5 in the am

    I feel really light, and full of life, going for a massage this morning. MMMMM.. Massage!

    So I guess I should fill you in on the Dreams. First of all what I remember. I remember being scared of my eldest brother and having dreams he was the devil. I remember my kitten Mozart dying in a horrible accident. Now what my dream filled in... I was walking upstair to go to my room, he pulled me under the stair where he was playing with my kitten and a drill. He thought it was really ...
