Profile Information

About Me: (at least a couple of sentences; ex: family, interests, hobbies, favorite quote, personal mission statement, etc: Recently diagnosed with kidney disease. Trying to change my eating habits in order to attempt to live a long healthy life.

your website or blog address:: http://veggiecauldron.blogspot.com

How did you hear about Raw Food Rehab?: My friend Nora.

What percentage of your current diet would you estimate is raw foods? (this answer many change over time): Zero, just starting.

How are you hoping this community can best support you in your journey? (moral support, transition advice, recipes, inspiration, fitness tips, etc): I have never been a big fruit or veggie eater. When I was a child my parents did not make us eat them so I have not developed a taste for them. I would need any help anyone is willing to provide. My biggest fear is spending alot of money on fruits and veggies and them wasting before I am able to eat them. I have no clue what/how much to buy for a daily need much less a weekly grocery shopping trip.

RFR Oath: I acknowledge that everyone is at a different point along their health journey and I will respect the individual progress and needs of others as they make lifestyle choices and changes of their own. I promise to do my best to keep this community drama free. I understand that posting inappropriate material, personal attacks, unapproved solicitations or spamming of any kind can result in administrative action and/or removal from this community. I pledge to be respectful even if I do not agree with another member's opinion. Agreed?: Yes

Getting back into my groove

Posted on June 13, 2012 at 10:35am 0 Comments 0 Likes

For the past few weeks I have been participating in a billards tournament to win a chance at going to Las Vegas to play in the National Tournament with my team mates. This is the first time since 1996 I have been able to play and make it to my districts tournament in over 8 years. We (my team) had a really good shot at winning it.

I was unprepared food wise as we had little to no room to pack a cooler. The trunk was filled with cases upon cases of pool sticks. Also the…

Creating a Portable Raw Kitchen

Posted on March 20, 2012 at 11:14am 3 Comments 1 Like

So I am going to be traveling alot this summer between family vacations, Just the Girls trips, and also to a few state parks for events such as weddings. Some of the places I will be going to are pretty remote with little to no convient store, restaurants, or food options so I am going to have to prepare to take and pack my own food.

I am thinking of constructing a "portable" kitchen. I just don't know exactly what I will need. I am thinking of a few cutting boards (the…

Gaining % of Raw / Menu Planning

Posted on February 15, 2012 at 9:40am 8 Comments 1 Like

So each week I have been trying to go from "SAD" to Raw. Each week I have increased my raw food intake and ventured away from SAD. I also have been eliminating excess use of protein as well because of my kidney disease. My body does not do well with alot of protein so I try to focus on the minimum amount needed on a daily basis under doc recommendation/supervision.

One of my biggest difficulties I am experiencing is making multiple meals for myself and my family. I am…

Preparing for a Juice/Smoothie 3-dayer

Posted on December 7, 2011 at 1:24pm 4 Comments 0 Likes

Howdy All,

Crystal here. This is my first blog post here at RFR. The past few months I have yo-yo'd with my health dealing with kidney disease. This past week I visited with my nephrologist and asked him about me doing a juice/smoothie fast. He gave me the green light but no more than three days, then we will see how I feel before going onto a longer timeframe.

Honestly, I do not know if I even have the willpower to even see it thru. My plans are to start this…
