I want to thank everyone who has participated in this RawFoodTalk.com forum. There have been some amazing exchanges here and so many words of wisdom spoken. But its time for me to close this board. I am moving on to new ventures and feel that its time for me to let this go. A forum of this size takes loads of money, time and energy. I have not been keeping up with the forum upgrades, the spam problems, etc…. which is resulting in many disgruntled emails and people calling the office daily. I’m sorry to disappoint the many of you who have spent your time and wonderful words of help and inspiration here. I hope that you have all benefited from this board and that it has helped you on your path to optimal health. I know many of you have made lasting friendships here as well. I will leave this board up for a month of so, so that you may copy what you need and any information you would like to save.

Thank you for being part of the RawFoodTalk.com community! It’s been a wonderful ride! I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next for all of you and of course, you can keep up with my adventures through my blog, Facebook and twitter. I am continuing my certification trainings and there will be some exciting new classes, events and projects coming into fruition in the near future!

All my best,
Alissa

I am enjoying my raw blogging journey, can you tell?

anyways, I did 40 min of Yoga and 30 min of Pilates today, and I FEEL GOOD!

I have been taking a set of Ayurvedic fruits called triphala as a supplement to my digestion for the last 3 days, and LET ME TELL YA - today was the culmination of a LOT OF RELEASE :

the brand I am taking is by Ayurveda Organics and is called triphala - digestive and colon support. It contains three indian fruits: organic amla (indian gooseberry), bibhitaki and hairtaki. i think this, along with my alfalfa is helping my body heal and absorb nutrients.

Triphala and 3-4 prunes every morning is definitely moving traffic down there, lol! I also am seeing more muscle tone in the abdominal area, now that I have been working on my Yoga ab exercises, (called mulabandas) and Windsor Pilates ab routines...

I am continuing to feel lighter and lighter each day, especially since I have been blogging more, reading more supportive posts, and not feeling so guilty about being 100% raw. I am doing the best I can with what is here in Utah...

of course I ALWAYS feel that I can do better, and I think that is what I have beating myself up with.

I had to step back yesterday after I wrote my visions down and say that I am doing really well considering where I started (190lbs). Just because I study exercise and nutrition doesnt mean I dont have issues too, as I have come to realize. Although many of my friends see me as a model and advisor of sorts, I still feel unworthy most of the time, and I need to just SUCK IT UP and GET OVER MYSELF. The people I look up to are not perfect either, EXCEPT GOD, so what the heck am I pouting and being upset about?

anyway, I had to give myself a sound scolding and a hug today. Definitely needed it

Hope you all are having a rawkin day! I am already!

So far:

am:
5 prunes, water and triphala
soaked oatmeal and blueberries (probably not raw, but very tasty!)

pm:
stuffed portabella with avo & tomato
Sunny tea (oolong and tulsi-holy basil)
Carrots and green salad if I am hungry later..

I think I will purchase the dehydrator (aka magic box!) when I return home from my trip. I am wondering if anyone has tried some of Alissa's recipes in the oven, and how did they taste? I want to at least experiment a bit and see how that would work out.

Blessings everyone!
