Well here I am... I haven't been here for a while.  Funny, I feel like I shouldn't post when I am not in a good place with food and anything but I'm posting today. I am going to try and post more regular no matter what is going on. Right now I am feeling really gross though. I have been eating poorly and today I just feel sick.

Honestly I don't know why I do this to myself, I just get the cravings and stuff gets in my head and I try to fight it, I try to fill up on fruits but .... I…

I am going to do the Cleanse America again, I did so well the first time and then almost as soon as it was over I started eating like crap again and have been struggling ever since. I haven't posted here for a bit because I feel like all I post is negative and wanted to spare you all lol I keep totally self sabotaging myself and as of late I have honestly eaten more SAD food than raw :( So, I am hoping by doing the cleanse again I will be able to get back on track. So here's to all of you…

I don't know about anyone else but I can't wait for my Kale chips to be done dehydrating before I eat them lol. This morning I made up a batch using Mimi Kirk's recipe for cheesy kale chips and I was eating the kale before I put it into my dehydrator and every time I checked it lol It just smelled soooooo good I couldn't help it. The plan was to make enough for snacking later lol Not sure I have enough now, lol Oh well, maybe next time?! But.... I doubt it! :)

 I seem top go round and round in this viscous cycle grrrr I do good for a couple day and then I don't and I feel horrible physically and emotionally, I honestly just don't know how to get through my cravings for SAD food. I also said I wasn't going to beat myself up but I really can't believe that after a year of trying to go raw I still am gong through this crap lol I am very frustrated today.

Maybe it's all the rain we've had here the past couple of weeks :( it's got me pretty down…

So I know it's good for you but why? During the cleanse we had to drink 32oz of lemon water upon waking, I was wondering if it is just a flavor thing to help drink the water or is there significant to the lemon? I realize I should be posting this in a Room somewhere but still haven't explored them all yet lol

So today I have decided to just stop beating myself up over small things when it comes to food. Like this morning, I decided to have a piece of Ezekiel bread toast with coconut oil with my green smoothie. I know the bread is not raw but it's not bad for me either lol Those of you who posted on my last blog post have helped me realize it's ok to not be 100% raw overnight, although I have been trying for almost a year. I think my problem is the doing it overnight thinking lol So, today I start…

I did so well on the cleanse and tried to stay with it after but I caved. I am drinking coffee and have had SAD food, honestly I feel  like crap right now, woke up this morning and my hands are back to being swollen again, they had stopped on the cleanse, not sure why they swell at night, I am mindful of my salt intake as well. Anyway, I know for myself the Cleanse America daily videos and inspiration helped me tremendously. I need to find my way back to it. So today (as I sit here and drink…

I am doing the Cleanse America right now, been having issues with cravings these past couple of days, I have eaten so many nuts and heavy things to try and fill that hole that I felt horrible today lol Taking it light today with green drinks and some fruits and veggies. I want to continue to stay raw once the cleanse is done but I need advice on how to curb those cravings.  I am an avid coffee drinker as well so I have not had any coffee either lol
