Blogging…oh, how I’ve forsaken thee. Ok, I haven’t written in a while. Let’s just call it a vacation. A break if you will. 🙂 Raw is hard for me right now. I fell off the wagon, yet again on a trip home the weekend after the 4th of July holiday. Oh, Dairy Queen…you are a…

Repetition is not a bad thing
I’ve been 80-100% Raw Vegan for the last month…give or take a weekend. The thing that most surprises me is that eating the same things all most every day is not that bad. A lil boring at times, but not a bad thing. Most days I eat some combination of the following: Smoothie: Some combo…
Sugar Free
I’m back to posting again. Back to being sugar free. No processed sugar. Eating only raw. Fell off the wagon…again…at the start of March. I really had to realize that a lot of my life choices have been very juvenile. Like my inner child was running me. So…I’ve put it in time out. Health is…
Happy to see this blog

Back since Nov 27th – Raw Again
Hey, sorry for the lapse. I’m not going to be tracking the days anymore…too much work. I needed some time to really immerse myself in the real reasons why I’m making this change. I needed to really understand what I was eating. I needed to revisit how so much of my favorite food really isn’t…
Still Raw, I don’t know what day I’m on
Well, I’ve been maintaining 80-100% raw food for the last week and a half. It’s been hard. I moved and that was stressful so I started eating chocolate again. Blame it on Halloween. Other than that and some bouts with salmon I’ve been at least 80% most days. I’ve had to really think about why…
Day 27: My 4th Day 100% Raw
Today will be my 4th 100% raw day in a row this week. I feel like a mental fog has lifted. The internal fight with my cravings has lessened. I just can’t believe how much of a fight Tuesday and Wed were. I was really crazy, but I made it. Had a big salad from…
Day 24 and 25: back on track
Day 23 ended with no meat, no sugar…just a big salad with sunflower seeds, grapes, and some olives later that night. Maybe my body wanted some fat. I had a lil headache but it passes. I’m accustomed to having chocolate when I’m on my monthly (TMI…it’s been different. I can really tell I’ve been eating…
Days 13-17: “It was all a dream…”
Sweets and comfort food were always a treat for me. Not being able to have them was a punishment. That’s how I felt on Day 13 (last Friday). I felt like I was in punishment and all I wanted to soothe my pain was some ice cream. I almost didn’t get any. I went out…
Day 12: Yesterday I fell pray to some ice cream
Yesterday, Day 11, I tangled with my main foe…ice cream. I lost. I ate a bowl of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. I’m not going to beat myself up. There are going to be times when I have dessert, but I don’t want it to be like it used to be 3-5 days a…
