  1. I'm having a bad day!

    I took an allergy pill last night, and then I took a couple Midol this morning. I don't usually take anything, and haven't had any medication since I started eating raw. But my allergies went out of control yesterday, and I was in pain this morning, so I relented. Boy, am I sorry! I feel awful! I thought I was experiencing fatigue before, but I was doing great compared to how I feel now. I feel so heavy and weak. I look old and tired today. Man! If I would have known how medication would ...

  2. skinny-mini

    That's what my dh just called me. I have lost 79 pounds in 4 years. I am DONE losing weight. I have hit my goal and I am not going to set anymore goals-excpet to not GAIN weight.

    I figure I will lose a little more and it will shift to more muscle as I increase my workouts now that the warmer weather is here.

  5. Things are looking up!

    Okay kids, I'm finally doing better. Phew! Yesterday I went to Whole Foods and ate a big ol' raw tostada for lunch. It was very satisfying, and it felt good to feel full for a change. Not yucky and bloated, just full. Maybe that's been part of the issue, maybe I haven't actually been eating enough? Maybe I've been craving heavy cooked foods because I've been hungry?! It's entirely possible. I've been eating frequently, but more kind of snacking than full on meals, and it's conceivable that ...
