  1. Starting day 6

    Today is my day 6. I've been between 70% to 100% raw. So this is a good start. I have noticed a few things. My perpetual headache seems to have subsided for the most part. The only reason I noticed, is today I have one, and looking back I haven't had for the last 3 days. I did have a bit of meat and cheese last night, and I'm 100% that is the culprit. I'm going to stay with 100% vegetarian, but it is difficult at times since the family isn't, nor is the extended family.

    I need to ...

  2. Day 11 Rolling up my sleeves

    Today was my weekly weigh-in. Why Tuesdays? I don't know, but it is. I didn't lose any weight this week, and that is certainly no big surprise. I am hovering between 209-210, the needle can't make up its mind, so I'm calling it. 210. I thought I'd be much more upset, but I'm not. I've got it all in perspective:

    Why I didn't lose weight:

  4. the elusive day 10

    awwww
    the dictionary defines elusive as:Tending to elude capture, perception, comprehension, or memory.
    That is day 10 for me, sad to say I blew it yesterday. Here is what happened.

    The first part of the day went very well. My husband is off on Mondays and Tuesdays. He was upstairs I was downstairs. He usually does his thing I do mine. I had what has come to be routine for me, my lemon water, my juices, my salads, etc...

    Our lives had really begun to ...

  5. Day 9: Not giving up!

    Well, I'm still here... Had a bad night though... Yesterday when I stepped on the scale and saw that I weighed exactly what I weighted a week ago, I really became depressed and gave in to a slice of pizza... I'm not happy with that, but now I must go on...

    Unfortunately, I can't get rid of the scale because it's my Hubby's and he uses it, so I put the scale under his side of the bed so he can pull it out when he wants to use it and I can't see it to tempt me to get on it. ...
