    Although I started raw foods at the beginning of the month, I fell off of the wagon last week and just managed to get back on track Tuesday so I'm counting today as my day 3.

    I'm just so thrilled about this--it's hard to describe the elation I feel when I consider these changes I'm making. Many people think I'm limiting myself, depriving myself, or doing something totally insane...but I'm happy about this and that's all that counts.

    This morning I woke up early--and ...

    Ok, I was 100% raw for 15 days last year, then managed to scupper the ship and revert to standard vegan.

    It did change the way I ate, and I continued to juice and eat large salads even when no longer RAW. My carpal tunnel problem has all but disappeared I believe due to juicing, and my chronically cold hands and feet have greatly improved.;)

    The other influence it had was I became a Gatherer; more veggies in the garden, and wild mushrooms, wild berries and wild herbs, ...

    I'm doing much better since my slip up. I am extremely encouraged by all my work buddies who are so interested in what I eat. One lady even went four days w/out sugar last week! I'm so proud of her. As a sugar addict I get how hard that can be. I tell her to call me anytime for support and she says she thinks about it but never does. She said she's going to try again. I went on a fun shopping spree w/ the kids today. I'm really loving Michael Franti this week. His music is awesome and inspiring. ...

    BEST DAY EVER! I just felt really calm and mellow today, not tired like I have been and less detox stuff going on this evening. I felt in the best mood I have in years. It was awesome. I didn't feel like I needed to talk. It was great to get out in the sun and walk in the garden barefoot. Got the potatoes planted.

    I had my usual detox stuff going on this morning but after breakfast and grazing on cantalope, banana, celery w nut butter, tangerine, grapes I felt wonderful and spent ...

    Days 23 - 26 ~

    I have been pretty busy lately & a wee bit crabby today!

    I come home from work today to find that someone or something has stepped on my bleeding heart plant that was coming in so nicely right outside my window!

    I'm thinking - "Who in the #@!# stepped on my plant!!"

    To make it worse - "Who the @#!* is stepping on it to LOOK into my front window?!?!?!" ...
