It's official!

Hello fellow Rehabbers, this is my very first blog entry.. tadaaa!

I have been a "silent" reader for a about a week or so, and this website does not seize to amaze me with all the inspirational people on here, the amount of recipes available and the oh so friendly atmosphere of love and support :D

I have been a vegetarian for 3 years and been playing around with raw foods for a while now, probably over a year but was never as serious about it as I am now. For 3 weeks now I have…

I just kept saying..."It is only an hour"

I am on day 9 of my Juice Feast. My boss of 4 years is retiring and today is her last day. Her boss (the Big Guy) took four of us out to lunch today. …..and……I DID GREAT!

I was full from my breakfast smoothie and I had two cups of tea at lunch and just enjoyed the company and the smells while telling myself that it would be over in a few minutes. And indeed time went by fast and before I knew it I was back at my desk drinking my Carrot Apple Juice!

WOW……Am I ever proud of…

Day 5 with no meat

I am watching Penni's 2 Pumpkin vids and it is making me wish I had my kitchen stocked to try some raw recipes. Whenever I look at all the ingredients to make raw recipies I think of just how much $$ it will cost to re-stock my kitchen (again). I guess it's just proof of how we have become so lazy in that we can just go in to a store and buy a premade mix and just add water or milk and bake!

One of her receipes reminds me of something that I wanted to get everyone's opinion…

Raw with friends

I'm very excited that my roommate has decided to try adding more raw into his diet! It's soooo much easier to follow a diet or lifestyle when you have someone who's doing it with you. We have been taking turns making lunch and dinner, and it's awesome because the times I don't feel like "cooking" he will and vice versa. I'm also starting to notice that there are more and more places in my city to find raw foods. So raw foods are becoming more a part of my life all the time ^_^. Now the only… Continue

Hello again

Hi Everyone!

The past few weeks, I have not done too much for Raw Balance.

I've been very distracted because of health problems. I had a thermography with troubling results, now am in the limbo of waiting for more appointments, mammogram, ultrasound. It is so hard to wait. I feel very scared and feel almost as though there is no point in doing anything until I have a diagnosis. That can't really be true though, right? I have my head spinning with all the information on… Continue

Salt lamps

Went out to find a gift for a friend yesterday and found one for myself! Came across a Himalayan Salt Crystal Lamp! New for me. Anyways, it's beautiful (and a nice addition to my newly remodeled kitchen:). When lit the bulb warms the crystals, which increase the release of healthful negative ions which are said to improve the quality of indoor air and your moods (it makes me feel good just seeing the beauty of it too). It sits on my new bow window sill and has given me the idea of…

Quotes that INSPIRE me :)

Here are just a few ... I like collecting them.

Expect a Miracle.

When the student is ready, the teacher will come.

Why are you trying so hard to fit in, when you were born to stand out.

Everything happens for a reason. (I don't believe in coincidences)

People change so you can learn to let them go.

You believe lies so you will eventually learn to trust no one but yourself.…

Day 4 of ovo-lacto vegetarianism

I had to look that up on wiki. I knew I wasn't vegan but a vegetarian. Ok enough of the labels ;)

I am beginning day for and I weighed myself this morning. I have lost 1 pound since the last time I binged on way too much meat for dinner. I now weigh 377.6. I am going to try not to weigh myself every day but it will be hard because I don't want to get off track again by NOT weighing myself. I was such a daily…

Staying Positive in Negative Situations

There are times when we must go through negative situations. Maybe people say something negative about us, or they show rejection or even resentment against us. In such situations, it may be difficult to stay positive. We may be inclined to react negatively to them. That won’t do us any good…

My Beauty Regime

Woke up this morning and my skin looked positively RADIANT. I love my new skincare routine. Also I did something with my hair that I used to do all the time and I simply forgot about it until recent--oh my hair is shinier smoother sleeker since I've been deep conditioning again! :) So anyway it's back to normal back when I used to deep condition regularly (it's got to be done otherwise I have a crazy, crazy mop :) there's only one conditioner that works and unfortunately I think it's…
