    Still having the queasies off and on all day, every day. I figure there's no starchy stuff in there to absorb the excess acid I know I produce.

    Funny thing, though is that I have absolutely no heartburn. Up until the day I switched to "all" raw (meaning truly as much as possible, not just dabbling a meal here and there) I've been heartburn-free. I had been taking Tums every day for months.

    I went camping w/ my family for two days at some hot springs. We also went tubing down Bear River and hit some fun rapids. It was a great time. For some reason I decided to eat some processed sugar non-food (a few roasted marshmallows and some carmel corn) while camping. Later that night I was soaking in one of the hot pools late at night alone, enjoying the zillions of stars and fully embraced staying raw. Kind of rekindled my commitment. The sugar was completely unsatisfying and I felt yucky ...
