Lucy is RFR's Vegan For Life!

[Penni]

I was already a 100% raw vegan before finding RFR. I decided to join The Vault because I really appreciate the weekly accountability. This last Initiative, Falling Into Raw, was really a good time for me as I incorporated Zumba and Buns of Steel into my routine. Remember that one? From the 80's? OUCH!

So what happened this last 11 Weeks is that I dropped 11 pounds, found that I'm sleeping better, have increased mental clarity and have even more incentive to workout! My energy level is off the charts. Eating a raw vegan diet is my long term lifestyle choice. I don't eat cooked, processed or altered foods. I have no stove, so I can't cook, nor will I go to fast food places. Going "off the wagon" is not an option for me.

 

This was me, prior to going raw:

 Since I began my Raw healing journey five years ago, my life has totally, TOTALLY changed. I was so sick with migraines and a non-functioning thyroid, that life was not worth living. But chaging my lifestyle has healed me. Not one migraine and my thyroid, after six years of a specialist not being able to regulate my thyroid with meds, after 11 months, I was healed/cured. So yes. Eating Raw has totally changed my life. My mental clarity is sharper than when I was 30! I'm 57 now. I sleep well. I have a ton of energy - ALWAYS! Life is so GOOD!

I love Raw. I'm so thankful for finding Raw Food Rehab. Penni & Susan are my special Angels that have come into my life. I love you! I will be in The Vault & The Weight Room as we Resolve to Evolve in 2011 and I am so stoked! I hope you'll be joining me there!

LOVE ~ Lucy aka Vegan For Life!

I loved chatting and getting to know you even better yet this weekend on RFR chat, thanks Lucy! I'm not sure about breaking up with my BF now, we are having a really nice Christmas ... I LOVE your story and healing yourself. I, too, have along history with raw and holistic veg lifestyle but RFR has helped me stay connected and much more consistent.

 

I have ups and downs but it keeps getting better and healthier day by day, initiative by initiative. ;)

A wonderful testimony to the greatness of a raw vegan lifestyle. Rejoice with you that you found healing. I especially applaud your resolve when you said, "Going off the wagon is not an option for me." I firmly believe that so many temptations can be avoided by deciding ahead of time what your choices are going to be and then abiding by those choices. Congratulations and thanks for the inspiration.
