  1. One Month! (Raw, that is)

    I've just realized this morning that today is my one month-iversary! Woo hoo! Over the weekend I bought a ton of books to keep my head in the raw game. One is The China Study which is a must read for anyone concerned about the effect their food has on their body. I find that I need a lot of media to help me through this part, not because it's a sacrifice to eat this way, but because I find a lot of people around me still looking at me sideways for my food choices. Forget the fact that I lost 15 ...

  2. I'm in love

    I have to say.... After being tempted ONCE I broke. I ate something AWFUL. But that was a few days ago. I came out of it thinking, yeah, it was kinda yummy and fun, but I'm over it. After the last bite was done I was planning my juice for the morning. Oh, and through the night I felt horrible! It dragged me down throughout the next day... and I'm not talking guilt.

  4. Still going strong on raw

    I feel absolutely fabulous with just one exception. I feel like there is a heavyness in my gut, like I need to go the bathroom. It's been like this for quite a few days. It's not uncomfortable, really, but I know I'd like it a hell of a lot better if it would just move along already! Such a topic, I know, but is this common for detoxing, or transitioning?

    I did a week juice fast then eased myself into feasting on whole fruits and veggies. As it is now, I have a juice consisting of ...

  5. Morning of Day 7

    This is going to be a trying blog for me as I refuse to go out to the living room and get on the comp. It's Saturday morning, my daughters are out for the day at the Museum and the house is quiet. No teenagers in the house.... Ahhh...

    Day 7 should be fairly easy since I think I hit my worst cravings last night as I was trying to decide what to get the rest of the family for dinner. Everybody was oh, I dunno, maybe and as I'm thinking, thinking, and making a quesadilla snack I decided ...
