Down 3.5 Pounds. YAY
Back on my total raw path for a WHILE (months and months) completely off the plan. I had meat, ice cream, diet coke, etc. I did the dang thing, as they say. I paid for it too. Why? Stress mainly. Coping with food. On Sunday, I weighed in at 207 pounds. Disgusted. This morning I…
204 Pounds
As I announced this morning via Twitter (@urbanrawfood), I’m once again re-committing myself to raw food. Why is this time different? Health reasons: I’ve been feeling the affects of the almost 20 pounds I’ve gained in the last 2 years. I don’t want diabetes. I’ve been saying that for a while. Also, I know…
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!
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…
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…
Day 4 – Hooray for Weight Loss
Day 4 I went from 202.5 on Monday to 200 pounds. So glad to see the scale move. I’ve been doing P90X with my baby and all I’d lost in 30 days was 3 pounds, so this is great. I like P90x, but I think weight loss is 80% about what you eat. I’m so…
Lynda Carter, African American Raw Foodist
Finding the raw food community has been a spiritual experience. It has brought new life to my body, mind, and spirit. When you are sick you pray for a miracle or just give up and die. I was not about to give up.After being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 1985; and also pregnant the…
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…
