Do you know what? I love dates. I love the taste of them. I love the sweetness they provide me when I’m going raw, because if you were/are a big consumer of sugary products (and most of us were as kids, and perhaps as adults… candies, most morning cereals, specialty drinks from starbucks, “fruit” juices,…

12 Days into my Raw Food Recommit.
Down from 205 to 195. 10 pounds of weight lost…released never to return again. Banished. I’d say I’m 90% raw. My baby encouraged me to recommit after a long trip off the wagon. He’s doing the first 14 days with me. More to come. Muah!
The Detox Has Begun
I’m already seeing the signs of raw food detox and although it’s not always comfortable running do the bathroom during the workday, there are some great results I can already see. Mainly… The circumference of my midsection is smaller. I can tell because I’m wearing a form-fitting top today and I can really see a…
Dedicated to Raw…Again
Down from 201 to 197.5 in one week. YAY! I’m so happy to be back on raw food. Last week I wasn’t 100% raw (chicken, hummus and pita) but I still lost weight. Amazing. Finally getting back on track to living the raw vegan lifestyle. I’m so tired of myself. That is the best way…
Another Day Back On Track
Yesterday (Thurs) was awesome for me. Stayed on track with my raw food. Only had 2 pieces of gum sugar wise. I was feeling sick, so my appetite was not good, but all the raw food really helped me to feel lighter and not all heavy and sick like I feel when I eat heavy…
Day 16 – Back on Track
After about 3-4 days where my commitment was lacking, I was back on track yesterday. I did have a few pieces of Tootsie roll easter candy. Can’t lie about that. However, my mind set was better. I woke up at 201.5 yesterday. Damn. Didn’t get me down though. I know that I ate things that…
Days 12-15 – Down in the Valley
It’s day 15 and I’m coming out of a serious valley experience day 12-14. Let’s just say I was only about 50% raw on those days. I was tested and I made it. I ate cooked food on Friday and Saturday. I felt really bad about it. I realized that I was very sad about…
Day 7 – The Promise Land
I’ve made it to the mental promise land of 7 days. I am so proud of myself for staying on raw foods. Sure, I’ve had a few pieces of candy and a run in with my baby’s home cooking, but compared to the terrible eating habits I’ve been practicing for the past few years, this…
Day 6 – More Weight Loss and a Little Cooked Food
I think I must have been detoxing yesterday because I slept until 11 am and when I got up I wasn’t hungry. Had some fresh squeezed OJ about an hour later and then did a lot of water the rest of the day. I snacked for lunch (2 nut/date balls and a pickle. I know,…
Day 5 of My Raw Restart
Day 5 started with a bang. I have finally broke out of the 200s weight wise, and as of the morning I was 199. Yay! What I ate: 1 Banana Grapefruit juice 4 nut/date balls Large spinach salad with apples, oranges, walnuts, kalamata olives, and red onion 2 apples for dinner For the past few…
