Since the fall has arrived, the cold and shorter days have had an influence on my 100% raw food plan. I'm now about 90% raw, eating a few cooked vegan meals per week. I too miss the abundance of fruits we had this summer.

what helps to keep me motivated and on track:

-watching inspiring and educational videos on youtube
-making videos to put on youtube see: 2008Raw2008
-watching Rawkathon, but now it's over... was very informative and inspiring
-reading 2-3 raw diet/lifestyle/recipe books at a time. Right now, reading "Raw food life force..." by Natalia Rose, "Quantum Eating" by Tonya Zavasta, and "Juice fasting and detoxification" by Steve Meyerowitz
-visiting some of my fav. websites, google: Karen Knowler, Green smootie revolution, and this one of course is one of the better ones.
-continually learning about health
-drinking green smoothies and tons of juice
