Okay, so I have "struggled" in February. And it has made me sick. I mean fever, runny nose(not in a good way) things like that. And yesterday was my birthday. Well, I got to thinking, I mean really thinking. I am only 27, not old in the grand scheme of things. And yet, here I am the day after I turned 27 thinking that I feel like I am 40 or 50 years old. Or at least feeling the way I think 40 or 50 year olds must feel. With the aches and the pains, and the congested chest and feeling sick all the time. It's gross. So as my very big special birthday present to me, I am going to work as hard as I can to become all raw, or as raw as I can be what with the very tiny and miniscule amount of like herbs or spices I will probably throw into my food from time to time. Anyway, cheers and green smoothies to me! Feet first.

    I totally know where you are coming from. I'm 33 years old.. and yet I have been feeling progressively like an old lady. Aches, pains, etc, etc. I finally said "enough" and I'm cleaning up my diet. Let me say that I have less pains now. My sinuses no longer hurt, that aweful pain in my neck (vertebra was out of place) is gone. I haven't gained any energy yet, and I've only lost 13 lbs... but it will come. Just takes time to undo 33 years worth of damage. Good luck to you on your journey!

    I felt much the same as you did throughout my 30's. Tired, blah. But let me tell you I feel now as good as I did when I was 12!!! So hang in there - HAPPY BIRTHDAY - you are on the right path & are so worth the effort!

    YES. It is absolutely possible to ~turn back the clock~ with how you FEEL! I haven't felt this good (no aches, no pains unless it's from a workout, sleeping good, calm, content) since I was in my teens and early 20's. Keep going! :)

    RAWK ON!! It scares me sometimes to think "if I feel like this at 35, what the heck am I going to feel like at 50?!?!?" We CAN do this!!
