I won't go back

It's been four months of eating mostly raw food and I think I can safely say I am at the point where I could never fully go back to my old, SAD ways. I know too well how good I can feel with plenty of fruits, salads and green smoothies to tolerate the kind of tired, achy, sugar-craving and icky body feelings that I used to try to ignore because I loved the way certain foods tasted MORE than I loved feeling good in my own body.
I am back in the craziness of working and full time graduate school but I am determined not to let myself down again by letting everything else take priority over my physical -and therefore my emotional - well being. At forty-five I'm still too young to be feeling old or tired. I want to be saying that at sixty-five and eighty-five as well. There are still so many goals I want to accomplish and experiences I want to have and to do so I need vitality and energy in my body, my mind and my soul. Raw food has made this a reality for me. I deserve nothing less than this, and so do you!

Comment by Vanessa Machelle Helm on September 14, 2012 at 2:57pm: Hey Lucy! As long as you are taking 2 classes per semester, that's all that matters! You do not want to take four or more classes per semester! You need some leisure times to do your hobbies! You got to have some time for yourself! Balance your days with a schedule of school, work, exrcise time and hobbie time! Also, make time to wind down after each day! I love you, Lucy! Schedules work for me, of course.

Comment by Tanni on September 12, 2012 at 2:32pm: That's great, Lucy! Good for you!

Comment by Jennifer Bee on September 12, 2012 at 10:21am: Lucy! It's nice to have someone who shares trials/tribulations, ya know? It's nice not thinking we are alone! I'm around 90% raw this past week and a half. I'm meeting with a CDN - one that is pretty open- minded - tonight - to see how I can fill some holes :)

Comment by Lucy Provost on September 12, 2012 at 10:08am: Jennifer, I was reading your blog last night and sooo relating to it, especially about the lacto issue. I honestly think dairy is the worst food group for me. I do not eat 100% raw but I make it my first priority to stay away from that one. Best of everything to you and hang in there; we are all in this together!

Comment by Jennifer Bee on September 12, 2012 at 9:42am: Funny thing for me...I've been on and off the High Raw time and time again and just going back to my lazy-lacto-ovo-veg ways BUT after this last time/go-around...I'm finally at that point where I am afraid to go back but I think I needed that...and I think I am going to blog about that today. Thanks for the blog idea! :)

Comment by Lucy Provost on September 12, 2012 at 9:28am: Maureen, the funny thing is, I think I actually have all those ingredients on hand at the moment. Even some dandelions in the garden. Thank you for the encouragement!

Comment by Maureen Griffin on September 12, 2012 at 3:52am: Fantastic Lucy! You might like to try what I'm drinking now - a few dandelion leaves and a nettle out of the garden, some almond and date milk and some frozen strawbs and a banana - very yummy and there's something about those wild edibles that make you feel good. The stingy bits blend out and I use stems and all.

All the best with all your projects :)
