  1. First temptation avoided

    Second day was very busy - left home 6:00 AM to return on 22:00 PM with lots of people eating cooked meals in front of me but I didn't succumb to temptation and am very proud of myself.
    I ate a lot of tahini and felt heavier afterwords which was a good reminder that too much fats were never something that my body liked, so today (it's morning in Israel now) due to where I'm gonna be today and the fact that I'll be moving around a lot, I think I'll just have lots of fruit and veggie shakes ...

  2. Fever, Sick feeling yucky

    Running A Fever.

    Feeling yucky. My allergies have been going like crazy today. Been Sneezing up a storm.

    I can't take any meds for allergies, because everything knocks me out cold for 24 hours. (I am taking homepathic tinctures.)

    I was hoping by going raw (mostly) that I could skip allergy season.

    My abdomen has been hurting the last few days. I've been bloated. Been doing a parasite cleanse along with the gallbladder cleanse.

  4. Day 2

    Don't worry, I'm not going to give you all a detailed account of every single day of my raw journey but I'll tell you a little bit about today. Today was hard. I was raw all day but my boyfriend is going to the convenience store right now to get something to eat and I really want some ice cream or something. It's kind of embarassing because it's only day two. I just didn't eat enough today (major mistake-not enough food in the house). I'm not sure what's going to happen. Maybe I need Alissa's ...

  5. My first hurdle

    Friday night I had two bananas before bed. They were so sweet and delicious!

    Saturday was rough, both emotionally and food-wise. I ate a couple of bananas in the morning, plus a few nuts and some dried fruit. But I felt hungry again almost right away. I was away from home, though, so I had to wait to eat. When I got home, I had half of a left-over collard roll. That held me alright. I may have eaten an avocado later, I can't remember.

    We had dinner out with friends, ...
