Hello raw fooders. I am pleased to say that I am recovering more and more and I now have a job, working for a political activist organization. I start in ten days and I am committing myself to putting all the

wisdom I’ve gained about the body into action so I can be in optimal

physical/psychological condition for work. It’s all about hot tea, ice water,

and green smoothies (nothing else except Omega 3s…

Ok so I've toyed with this over the past few months, had read up on the do's and don'ts - and still had not quite committed to doing it right. Managed to use it as a mini-reboot for a day or so, but usually made a hash of it by day 2.

Well that was then. It really is so important to get things straight in your head first, that you are making a committment. Well I decided yesterday that today was the day. Started looking at a couple of blogs and video diaries, thanks Cera and…

Hey there,

Well fine tuning my tendencies to eat healthy anyways has been a struggle, unbeleivable to me really.

I guess it's all part and parcel of changing habits and harnessing the true value of health. I am hanging out with my boyfriend a lot more because I work all day then visit him to enjoy the rest of the day, whilst he eagerly cooks non raw meals for me. Even he knows I'm doing my best at being raw and I've accomplished what a lot of others cannot with my…

I think I'm going through detox, at least emotionally. I've been really nasty and hateful and antagonistic for no real reason, and prone to crying jags. I'm dealing with a lot of old established feelings and inner critics and trying to clean them out.

My older sister passed away on Friday. She was 44. She destroyed her liver and she got pneumonia and it went to her liver, and the rest of her shut down little by little once she was on life support. I hadn't spoken to her in…

I've been mostly raw lately, and am suprised how different things taste! All my old favorite foods (pickles, mashed potatoes, white bread, ) and the one food that I crave (cinnamon sugar toast) I was able to make raw! (xylitol crystals, raw sprouted "bread" and cinnamon! then I make it stick with coconut oil) Also starting to like things that I haven't before. It feels like I was never REALLY tasting or smelling anything before. It's all so strong and new!

I'm working on…

It's been an intense last few weeks...I ain't doin' very good, health-wise...not sleeping much...working too much...diagnosed with hypothyroid (explains a LOT!) & struggling to stay raw....

....gained a little weight back...feelin' like a slug...tryin' to get back on track, know what I need to do...wish I could just slow down & FOCUS on HEALTH again...wish I could sleep...wish I wasn't in so much…

This is what I have in mind today. I would love a hammock in the shade- preferably on a beach somewhere but then I really am dreaming.

I am still recovering from my hike- (to see pictures check out the Walking…

Yesterday colonoscopy prep. Today colonoscopy then resting on computer and two 2 foot snakes land next to my right arm whilst I am typing on the computer. YES I screamed!!!!! At first I thought hubby tossed a fake snake until they moved!!!! We can't figure out where they came from but they are now gone. They looked like bad snakes(Copperheads) so they were dispatched. We could not risk having them hide in the house. We now believe that they were Milk snakes.…
