I know it is going to be really hoppin' around the Hab the next few days, especially with the Raw Balance Initiative beginning tomorrow.  

I wanted to let you know that I will be…

you know I think it is so freakin cool that as we go further into this raw lifestyle we can actually hear our bodys better if we listen.

i went three days on smoothies, then caved in and had all raw salad with pumkin seeds. didnt overeat ya'll!

but what I did notice is that my body was not happy going back to foods so soon. I could feel in every fiber of my being that continueing on the liquids only was what my body really needed..

so here i am day one liquid only…

i am super excited!

i just signed up for my first innitiative.

yea raw balance!

Sooooo I made it up to Moms, a three hour drive which was lovely, absolutely lovely! I was hurrying so as to get to see her as soon as I could.

I got there and walked in and immediately heard her yelling out for my older sister! I ascertained she was in the bathroom with the door shut. Needless to say, she had fallen and was there for a long morning. She had not done her morning…

Hi guys :)

Well I'm feeling...ahh...about the same as yesterday but yesterday I was feeling a LOT better than the day before...so at least things have improved!  With my body I never really seem to know what to expect, so at least some positivity is happening.

Also I have lost so much weight being on this flu...well, I think at least 4 of it was waterweight, as it was gone after the first day, but now I've lost 6 pounds and I'm down to 114!  And I don't keep…

I hope to join next week....

$$ has just been too tight the last couple of weeks to make the payment.  I say that, but God has been so GOOD, I don't want to take ANYTHING away from HIM.  I attended Women of Faith last week and had to pay for my part of the hotel room (not much, but it could've covered my Raw Balance fee, lol (-: )  Anyway, after watching the videos, and hearing what has been said about Raw Balance, I feel like I want to join and even though I don't have the money this…

This week I have stayed 100% raw, juicy, liquid, and smoothie-ish.  Yesterday, I grilled for my family.  Those scents, touching the food, etc., etc. (I know, you're probably wondering when the "triumph" is coming.)  Well, the triumph for me was NOT licking my fingers when cooking.  Huge triumph for me.  I was thinking about this past week's Made to Crave study that…

My little kale sprouts are starting to shoot off their third leaves! EEEEEEEE! Maybe I'll get my husband to take a picture tomorrow...

And my garlic is starting to sprout! That's awesome, but it makes me wonder if I should have planted them a bit deeper... hmmmmm. At any rate, I have a bunch of seeds to try my hand at this spring. Lots of organics and heirlooms. It will all be in containers, and I have to figure out some way to leave room for my dogs out in the yard,…

What I am about to tell you I have heard from others.  Each time I read this type of story I may have thought the writer was exaggerating a little.  Now I know from experience that this is real and no exaggeration.  Uggh!  Last night I came home from work and my husband had smoked up a pork roast.  He did this because he was volunteered to cook for a big event at church and they requested pulled pork sandwiches.  He was doing a dry run to make sure that he had the timing right for such large…

Hello Everyone!

So, I'm wanting to recommit in a big way during this initiative, just take things to the next level and really make big changes in my life.  I know people have said that making videos has helped their process and kept them accountable, so I'm thinking of making a daily video.   I'm a little scared though!  The internet has a long memory, and you never know if I'm going to embarass myself!  At the same time, there is a chance that it would be helpful to others,…

A little bit about myself..

In order to gain focus and vision for your remarkable future, your mind needs to be clear, fresh and focused.  You truly are what you eat and your thoughts, visions and health depend on it!  Keep adding in and enjoying whole foods and yummy goodness and continue to shy away from and slowly delete processed crap and take-out fast food from entering the pie-hole…YUP…if it’s in a box it has more chemicals than you can fathom and once you begin to eliminate all that garbage (excess sodium,…

Today...

Take the extra step

and do whatever is necessary to…

This is the cover from the July 1978 issue of this magazine.  The article was written by Jeff Cox.  He mentions enzymes, vitamins, leukocytes, the benefits of raw food for intestinal health, diabetes, cancer, referring to the work of John M. Douglass, Henning Karstrom, Rick Ingrasci, Michael Janson, Ann…

Hi to all my new virtual Raw Food Rehab friends,

I have been super busy for a couple of days but you have all been on my mind….I am ready to start a new phase of my life, one that recognizes that I am a valued human being, worthy of the effort to be the best persons I can be. I will remember this commitment throughout our journey knowing life will throw hurdles along the way, but overcoming obstacles makes the rewards of victory even sweeter. I will not give up on myself. I…

We went to see the doc today for a minor thing my husband had.  We have not seen him since our last yearly check up about 10 months ago.  While we were there we explained our change in diet to raw vegan and asked if we could get a B12 shot.

He said NO! and explained that while on SAD we never had trouble assimilating B12 so we won’t have trouble assimilating B12 being raw vegan either and that the drops you put under the tongue are perfectly fine.  He said if we want to do a…
