    just returned to the us after a long trip. was eating really healthy before, and then it started to fall apart on the road. was desperate to find anything that was vegetarian, and then raw on top of that was so hard! but now, i have a great kitchen and my blender and juicer back and access to great markets. just need to be disciplined and try to keep to a daily exercise routine. really want to feel healthy and lose about 15-20 pounds.
