Wow, it's been almost a month since I have been here and I have been BAD!! Went raw for 10 days and then crashed! I liked the way that I felt much better when I went raw so I am going to try again. I even put on a pound. UGH. I need to go the opposite direction.

Oh well, here we go again. I truely do not think that I could do raw for the rest of my life but I would like to make it the rule and not the exception. I know that I will eat cooked food now and again but I would ...

Over the past year, I've felt what I can only describe as something "calling" me toward a raw vegan lifestyle. I've even made a couple of ill-fated, half-hearted attempts which in all fairness were not that bad. The main reason I have not been 100% raw is because at some point or another, there is a social situation in which I cannot bear to miss or one in which I cannot bring myself to decline food when I am in attendance -- so essentially it's all down to me.

Okay... so we are invited to a BBQ - hamburgers (range fed organic beef here on the Big Island is amazing) they truly are happy cows -- they wander around ...

I am going to be committing to something tomorrow - and I've never committed to anything ever in my whole life. I don't really even know why I am so nervous about this - other than the fact that I've never really succeeded at anything before. Everything always gets too tough or I need a "break" and then I go off the wagon.
