    Just got her book and checked index since hemp is so plentiful here and I like it for all the goodness it has but she has no recipes. I have done a search online for them and found a few raw ones, but mostly drinks.

    Anyone know if substitues can be made using hemp nuts/seeds for eg? I don't know what can be done with the powder, and I assume can use hemp oil instead of other oils for dressings?

    I was going to sign up for the pilates class but am going to hold off until the colder weather hits (which really won't be long... another class starts towards the end of October). I figure this will give me some time to focus on the jogging, or something of that nature. I never really thought that I was "out of shape" but I'm not really sure if I am in shape enough to do pilates? I am afraid it will kick my A$$ and I won't be looking forward to it?

    I guess I ...

    Thank you guys for the support, u have no idea how much it means to me!!!
    I took control over my impulsive eating today, I walked pass the pretzel stand although I so badly wanted to stop (thats never happen, I 've never wanted a pretzel) My husband and 2 younger kids are vegetarian, I cooked them smiley potatoes and vegie subs and steamed broccali. I wanted some so bad, I just inhaled all the fumes and cut my romaine lettuce, tomato, avocado, carrots, parsley, cucumbers and sunflower seeds ...

    Well Day 6 has arrived, it seems to have been longer then 6 days, I guess because I was originally doing 80% Raw and 20% Vegan since 7/19/07.

    I have been having my ups and downs I think some days I go through detox more then others. Today I felt fine.

    The one thing I love about Raw is how I'm able to handle stress. Before raw any stress would set me off. Now I'm more calm.

    It hasn't been to much of a struggle sticking to raw. I think as the days go on ...

    Not very hungry today.

    I ate:
    spelt muffin
    mate latte
    plate of fruit with coconuts on top

    popcorn

    And the comfort food: a raw chocolate smoothie
    banana,coconut milk,mangoes,raw cacoa powder and a little raw honey

    Who needs candy bars when there are raw chocolate smoothies? I only wish I had some raspberries to add to the mix!

    Starfire, can't go into to much detail on the net. LOL. ( I'm acting ...
