  1. I Woke Up on the Wrong Side of the Bed

    I have been feeling really cranky over the last day. I felt it yesterday morning, and then I had to go to the dentist for a filling yesterday afternoon. My jaw has been really sore since the lidocaine wore off. I have TMJ anyway, so my jaw has been popping a lot this morning, and I think it's going to be one of those days where I stick to soft foods.

    My plan today is to stick to mostly soft fruits and maybe some chocolate. :) Chocolate always makes me feel better. I will probably ...

  2. I'm hungry!

    I think my mind is just playing tricks on me. I had a handful of almonds, then I had some almond butter with raw honey and organic raisins. That little snack was good!

    I guess I didn't go 100% raw today. I had the Balsamic Vinagrette, and I did break down and have a big mug of hot herbal tea. It's so cold today! (whining)

  3. Alone alone all all along

    I remember reading the RIme of the Ancient Mariner as a high school student and loved this line from the poem, about being alone on the deep blue sea. I am so aware of the need for me to have community support and to be diligent in putting myself out there to get the support I need. It has been a long fall and winter. I feel not really re-vitalized and I have to make it happen for myself by turning my bak on some shoulds and just enjoy and explore. Not being specific. I need better food, better ...

  4. Lunch after doctor's office

    Okay, so the Mock Salmon Paté thing - don't think it's ever gonna be my favorite. But that's what my son and I chose for today's lunch. (We're both crazy about Salmon.) We put Balsamic Vinagrette on the paté, and rolled it up in a lettuce leaf. It was okay. I ate two, but wasn't satisfied, so I had an avocado, (my favorite!). We've both been raw all day, but he plans to eat a hamburger for dinner. He said that his father promised to make him one of his famous burgers tonight, and that it ...

  5. Dang...

    I was feeling pretty good today and then I made a salad at lunch, brought it back to work and just grossed myself out so bad. Could NOT eat it. So I went out and got SAD. I now feel SAD. I feel like I'm soo on the edge right now. I was doing soo good in the beginning... and now almost every meal is getting to be hit and miss. I'm soo disappointed in me.
