I'm back!
I had one heck of a surprise .... it seems I am expecting another little one. And WOW did it totally turn around my plans. But I believe everything is for a reason and take this as a huge blessing that god wants me to raise another little soul :)
I'm a fitness model and personal trainer who competes in Fitness model and Figure (natural bodybuilding competitions). I'm vegan of course and specialize in plant based diets. So after much thought am taking this baby along for one heck of a ride in the fitness movement. I see this as an opportunity to film (both photo and video) the entire process including workouts, diet etc. And have decided that a raw diet will be best to ensure proper nutrition, less fatigue and an overall positive experience. Yes, not only will this be my first vegan pregnancy, but also my first raw pregnancy. It will also be a huge opportunity to bring baby up raw as my yougest, who is a vegetarian, will be 13 by the time her little brother or sister arrives.
Looking forward to being active in this raw community once again! *waves*

Back to Raw Myself with a Blessing
You have not lived a perfect day... unless you have done something for someone who will never be able to repay you.

Yes, in fact we are working on the printing and production details. This is baby #6 and I'm 38 ... so sort of the "no excuses" guide to a healthy fit pregnancy AND recovery :)

So my plans for lifting videos, and upcoming 2010 competitons (bodybuilding) quickly evolved to a "lightbulb moment" of plant based & raw pregnancy guidence. Perhaps I can inspire others that it can be done ..... God never ceases to throw me off! lolYou have not lived a perfect day... unless you have done something for someone who will never be able to repay you.
