Anyone here like running? I don't, but I'm training for a half-marathon to get myself motivated to exercise again lol

Any tips or advice on any special foods, nutritional needs for runners, or...

I took the class and it was very informative! I think it's important to make sure you have a really good teacher, that will help! Mine was great! Just thought I'd update you guys :) Now I'm certified...

So true!! If I have even a little bit of anything cooked I am like an addict!! It really throws me off course.

And thanks Carbosun, I will add that...

Oh, wow. That's scary! Glad you were ok!! And thanks for the warning!

I like to balance out my fruits with a lot of greens. I feel like that might help with keeping your teeth clean from all that sugar!!

And I definitely intend to share my experiences soon. The class isn't until the end of July though, but it's going to be here soon! I'm going to start a blog and write some...

Glad it went well! I'm sooo bad about vacations. I was doing 2 weeks raw and doing great-than house sat for a friend and suddenly junk food time! Being surrounded by all their junk in the kitchen was...

As for traveling, I find raw foods are great...fruits and vegetables in a plastic container, and no plastic wrappers to throw away!

I also like to take those health food bars...Prana.

Those are...

Ahh, welcome to my world! I really wish there were some raw food restaurants in Michigan. I only know about juice bars!

Some good juice bars:

Zerbo's in Livonia (about 30 min from Detroit)...

Sweet, I didn't know about that one!

Thanks so much!

And before you say why don't I...I'm currently trying to...

LOL I love this thread. The first two stories were hilarious.

When I first tried it I was so mad I spent my money on it because it tasted like drinking vinegar. Yuck.

But I really started to...

Anybody know of raw restaurants or juice bars in Michigan? I'm always looking for more!
