  1. HOT!

    Okay so I'm going for it - 30 days 100% raw...

    I've been struggling for the last month or so and it is time to get serious.

    Now for day 1 status:

    I am soooo hot. For whatever reason, as soon as I'm done eating I get a huge rush of heat. It could be that I'm still getting over this flu/cold or it could be that I'm eating calories that get burned up so quickly. In any case, I'm hotttttt and I don't like ittttttt. And I also have a mini-headache.

He said something to me about ...

  5. hurricane watch...

    the whole island is on hurricane watch - very strange.

    I'm on Big Island... and where I live we should be safe though... cuz the hurricane is headed the opposite way - it is passing the southern part of the island and headed north west. We are located north east... I'm just so surprised that our weather is so affected here too. As you can see by the map - the hurricane (last satelite pic looks like it's lost it's eye)... and that's a good thing - it's weakening. It is supposed ...
