Alright, time to fess up. I haven't been raw the last two days. In fact you could say I've fallen off the raw wagon.
I don't know if it's the fact that I haven't been eating right or not but I feel like I have the flu. Every bone in my body seems to ache. My ribs, my neck, my shoulders and yes - my head again.
If it is because of my poor diet the last couple of days, all I can say is I'

62. Re: Beets
MMMMM! Sounds yummy! I'll definitely give it a try.
On another note, I'm having trouble finding shoyu around here. Where can I purchase some not to expensive online?
Anybody else? Keep the suggestions coming.

63. Beets
Since I love the cooked version of beets I decided that I'd buy them raw and see if I like them this way.
Since I'm new to raw I'm not too sure how to prepare many raw dishes.
Does anyone know of any good recipes with raw beets?

Horrible migraine day for me - but on the bright side it's the first one I've had this week which is a huge step in the right direction. Normally I'd have at least 3 or 4 by this point in the week. Something is definitely right with the changes I'm making.
I did get off track yesterday and have a cooked vegetarian meal for lunch, but it wasn't all my fault. I had agreed to have lunch with s

Thanks for the tips guys.
I think the problem is more of overripening of the fruit than it sitting in the garbage since I make sure my garbage is taken out daily. And I always make sure to have bananas on hand because I love them in my smoothies.
I'll definitely put these tips to use and hopefully I can get them gone!

My mother suffers terribly from fibromyalgia. It would be wonderful if she can see the benefits in me and is able to make the change too.

Oh, lucky you!!!
I'm in the market for a juicer myself. I want a quality one, but just can't afford to pay the price.
I always say I'm going to hit the garage sales to find handy gadgets but I haven't done it yet.
This definitely makes me want to hit those sales now.

As I'm new to this raw living lifestyle I've got kind of an odd question.
I've always kept fruit in the house for my kids, but not nearly as many as I do now. I like to keep them in a bowl on the counter for easy access for both me and them. Aside from that, I have all the empty space in my fridge filled with green and crunchy veggies.
Well I'm starting to have lots of fruit flies - or gn

Yes, I am having a good day - thanks for asking.
That is what I'm hoping for with my family. In fact, I haven't even told anyone in my family other than my husband and kids what I'm doing and why. It helps that we live 3 hours away from any of them so it's easy to keep it secret.
It's just that I believe that if they don't see me for a while, when they do and they comment on how much bett

You know, I never thought of that! I'll have to try it without cooking anything.
Today wasn't as good a day, but I definitely learned something important.
I ate half a honeydew melon for breakfast this morning and then left to take my kids to the eye doctor. I didn't bother to take anything with me because I had planned to drop them at school after and head straight home for a nice salad

Today was a better day food wise. With the exception of tasting my family's supper for needed spices I maintained a raw diet all day.
I tried to fix up the coco-avo soup I made the night before but I still didn't like it. It went in the trash sadly and I ate a nice salad instead.
I am finding that I'm not as hungry during the day as I was in the beginning so that's a nice surprise. The o

Oh one more thing...........I'm so excited!!!
My husband bought me a hand held blender and high quality fancy knives on Ebay and they should be here on Monday! So, he may not understand but he is supporting me and helping me.
I can't wait to put them to use!!! All I need now is a good juicer and I'll be ready to roll.

Thanks for the tip. I'll definitely do that!
Today was not such a good day, but I didn't do too bad. I woke up with a horrible migraine and that persisting pain in my hip.
I did have 1/2 a cup of coffee (I'm still trying to kick the caffiene habit) and made myself a smoothie of banana, strawberries, papaya, oj and a small drizzle of honey. I didn't get much of it down because my head was

75. Re: New and lost
Thanks for the words of advice guys.
Whole Foods would have been an option for me before we moved, but the closest Whole Foods is now 3 hours away. Just not feasible. I've come to the realization that I'm going to have to order some of my specialty items, but that will come in time. I'm still working on the basics and not ready to order yet.

It's day six and I'm feeling pretty proud of myself.
I had some errands to run today and a doctor's appointment for a sore hip (bursitis - guess I'm getting old - perfect reason to stick with this).
I didn't have breakfast before I left the house and by the time I got out of the doctor's office I was SOOO hungry. Normally with a situation like that, adding that I was feeling bad because o

Today is my fourth day on this journey and the hardest yet. I'm feeling very hungry but I know it is my own fault for not packing enough food for work.
Not only am I trying to make the break from cooked food but caffeine as well. That soda addiction is proving to be rather difficult but I know I can make it through once the withdrawal headaches subside. My problem is knowing whether or not

I'm just beginning my journey into living and raw foods living and I'm at a loss as to where to purchase my food other than Krogers (major chain).
I've done lots of searching online in my area for farmer's markets, natural food stores, etc. and I can't seem to find anything other than Krogers, which is where I've been getting my groceries up till now.

Thank you Jodi for the warm welcome.
My husband and I have had many talks about the issues I face with my health and he does support me, in his own way. He just keeps his feelings to himself. It takes a mountain being moved for him to open up so I've learned to read his little signals. Thank you for your concern on that front and I will definitely be watching out for those signals.

I'm a 33 yr old married mother of 2 boys who feels like she's 63. I suffer from daily headaches and weekly migraines as well as high blood pressure, borderline high blood sugar and early menopause due to a hysterectomy at 29. I'm 5'4" and weigh 210.
I saved the weight for last because while that in itself is enough to make this an important change for me, it is not the reason I'm travel
