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…
Days 17-19

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 10 and 11 – Bloated is the Word That Comes to Mind
Bloated. That is the only word I’ve been focused on for 2 days. Why. Because I’ve been a little down following last week’s high after losing 5.5 pounds. I’m back to 200 pounds. I think it’s mainly bloating and water since I always gain 2-3 pounds each time I have a period. Lots of women…
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 3 – Driving Away From Fast Food
I lost my mind a little twice yesterday but I woke up the second time. First time was with a little mini Almond Joy. That daggone candy jar again. More will power was on the way later in the day. Oh Fast Food, You almost got me, but I won. Nothing like sitting in the…
