At yoga tonight my very wise teacher said plainly: you are handling it to the class. I am still amazed at the energy and life I have that I didn't know about until eating RAW. Closest to this was when I was living in the Amazon and ate only what grew on the land. . . Went to Bikram yoga tonight and had so much energy decided to go to the grocery store, do laundry and make dinner. . . when I was eating SAD I would barely make it to yoga, eat and sleep. . .On the menu tonight:…

I can't believe it has been FIVE weeks already since I joined RFR. Another thing I can't believe how nice it is to blog about my new lifestyle. It's a good way to keep track of myself and make sure I'm eating rawesome foods!! My mouth is finally 100% back to normal, thank goodness! The only issue I have is that one side has gotten swollen and sore the past few days. I'm not sure what's up with that, maybe because of brushing my teeth??

School started on Monday for me which…

When I started this part of the RFR, I thought that I would be happy if I just did this for 15 days. Now, I am going to continue. Hopefully, I will complete 30 days!

There are times, like last night, I wanted more food! Sometimes I am not really hungry, just wanting something. Last night, I was really hungry. I missed a smoothie, and it got so late that I thought it would be better to just let it go and wait until morning.

OH I wanted some foods! So, I planned…

I feel wonderfully healthy.  Finally, food that doesn't make me sick, bloated or nauseous!  I finally feel as if I am eating the food that God intended for me.  It's nothing short of a miracle to me.  Raw food has changed my life.

I'm finishing day three of a green smoothie liquids only fast/feast.  My first goal is 10 days and 5 day goal increments after that.  I would like to go 30 days but I'm already craving my yummy raw food dishes.  Just doesn't taste the same in…

I think it's the most amazing thing I've ever tasted in my life.

This smoothie can have my babies.

For reallll.

Because of my experience, I will not change the recipe in any way.  The only way I think this recipe could be amplified is if some type of form of coconut were added.

It's lots of getting frozen but not quite all the…

Does anyone have a positive experience to share about using a healthy diet rather than vaccinations? I am not aiming to sway anyone's opinion on the matter, just looking for some support from someone who has been there. 

I went to the doctor a couple weeks ago and I got my blood test results yesterday. I had her run an allergy test because I've never had it done before. I've known for a while now that when I eat gluten, I don't feel well so I was curious to see the results. Turns out I do in fact have a moderate gluten allergy. It's somewhat disappointing, but actually kind of nice because now I have more incentive to stop eating it entirely rather than just having it every now and then. I also had a low…

So I'm feeling very strange today. I'm not sure if I'm experiencing some detox symptoms or what. Yesterday I only got through 16oz or so of smoothie, a big salad, some nuts and dried fruit. I was ready for sleep by 8:30pm, so I listened to my body, nixed the rest of the smoothie and went to sleep.

Woke up at 5:45am to get ready for work and was feeling pretty good but not very energetic. My head was clear and there were no complaints from the body, but motivation was nil. I drank…

Clean and Condition

It’s the last day of August and I’m lucky enough to be spending these few precious days before the kids head back to school and my work routine begins, at the BEACH!

I was up early this morning (you don’t want to know how early) with my mind full of darting…

Great Eastern Sun and Sunfoods are distributors and sellers of nori which is harvested from waters off Japan and China.  All stock they have and what is currently in stores was harvested in 2010.  They will be testing for radiation in all future harvests.

That I may have eventually come around to these changes is up for debate but I think eating raw has hastened…
