Jodi I've heard of that face cleansing method before, and read some testimonials- it sounds like people get amazing results! That's great that it worked so well for you! I hate pimples, too. My skin is normally clear but detox definitely causes skin problems for me :-( Thankfully it's clearing up now! I am still using Avalon Organics face soap most days but I hope in the near future I'll be

Well that post was a little negative, so on a happy note, I lost 2.5 pounds this week and my skin is looking really good again after that bad bout of detox. Yay for another week of eating 100% raw! I'm looking forward to not having to wear make-up this week- the first week I went 100% I didn't wear any b/c my skin was glowing, and then it started looking worse than it has in over a year b/c of

I am having a really hard time with cravings today. I want peanut butter on bread so badly! My stomach is still a little off so it's not like I'm even hungry...just craving cooked garbage. Blah. I was able to eat a green smoothie and I just had another banana as a pre-workout snack but it made my stomach turn so now I have to wait for it to digest before I go for a run. I am determined to ru

My stomach is KILLING ME right now! I was planning to make a huge salad to bring to our father's day dinner, but I ended up just having a glass of water. I bought such amazing looking produce today, too! Ugh. I think my body is telling me pretty clearly that it does not want food though.
I felt ok for the first part of the day and at least I was able to get in an hour long hike with a dog

Hi Jodi! Aww I hear you on the carpet disaster. I have been able to mostly clean up the @#$%& stains, but I'll need to get a heavy duty cleaner once the babies are gone!
Yay it is officially my weekend The two kittens here at my place are awesome. I am in love with them. Two of my cats are really sweet and playful with them, the other two don't want anything to do with them but tolerat

I can't believe it's only Thursday! I really thought it was Friday. Ooooh well. I started off the day w/ NO FOOD TO EAT b/c I'd eaten all the bananas my mom got me last night! So I went to the conventional grocery near my job before work to get more bananas to eat really quickly. But they were all green! I mean like no hint of yellow at all. I hate that- who buys bananas and then waits a w

I'm feeling significantly better today, and more so as the day goes on. Yay! Maybe this round of detox is winding down! The kittens are doing great, having fun running around and playing with my cats. They are so freaking adorable!
Anyway, I ran out of bananas today but my mom was great and got me a bunch of 6. Sadly I only have 2 left- not sure what I'll do tomorrow. I'll have to make a

I actually had them on a raw food diet comprised of organic, free range chicken thighs, liver, sometimes salmon if it wasn't too pricey, and a supplement that contained ground bones and all the smaller parts that they'd be eating in the wild. I cut it all up myself b/c it's too expensive to buy the pre-made raw diets. They liked it, but sad to say, I stopped doing it b/c I really hated dealing

I am feeling significantly better today- I have yet to fall asleep while sitting at the computer, which is a big improvement over yesterday! I have a mild headache and am pretty lethargic, but I definitely feel like doing a light workout or two so I'm going to do some power walking and hopefully get outside for a walk/hike in the evening w/ my mom and my parents' dogs if it stops raining.

OK, I'm feeling a little better. I got the apartment cleaned up, and the more time I spend with the kittens, the easier it becomes to clean up after them. It's not their fault, after all. Only 2 of them have the leaky butt problem- the other 2 seem perfectly healthy and are thriving. Strange b/c if it was parasites they should all have the symptoms. I guess I'll find out tomorrow...

I am not having a good weekend.
I'm fostering 4 7 week old kittens and they are having diarrhea ALL OVER MY BEDROOM. There is @#$%& on everything I own. I took them home last night and the girl at the shelter who runs the foster care program didn't tell me anything about this. They've been in foster care with someone else for about 2 weeks but I was told this person is going "on vacati

Day 12 100% raw! I am going through some detox- I got a bad headache again today, my face looks ruddy and pretty crappy, and I'm drained, physically and emotionally. When I got to work I had no idea how I was going to make it through the morning cleaning all the dog kennels again. Yesterday I just zipped through it, sprinting through the kennels to get done almost on time, but today I didn't k

Hey apple! Glad to hear you're doing well! Wow, an Ironman, that's amazing! I honestly believe that you can eat raw and fuel yourself properly to train for a long distance endurance race. When I started training, though, I didn't really know how to do that. I tried to keep eating raw, but I wasn't eating enough, so I was always starving and my workouts were suffering. I also felt like I &qu

This is my 10th consecutive day of 100% raw. It's been shockingly easy, I haven't been tempted to eat anything cooked at all. I think eating so many greens has really helped my cravings!
today's food & exercise:
-3 bananas, a lara bar
-huge salad w/ baby romaine, about 1/3 of an avocado, half a red pepper, half a tomato, carrots, mushrooms & vinegar; apple; nectarine; banana.

Quick post tonight! I did have some raw cacao powder...I guess a lot of raw fooders don't eat it b/c it makes them feel "high" or something, but I don't feel anything after eating it. I do want to cut down since it's pricey though. Anyway, today was a higher fat day for me. It felt right, I think my body needed a little more fat. I'm sure tomorrow will be back to lower fat.

So I went to the store to buy some Lara Bars, but they didn't have the flavor I love, so I bought watermelon instead <3 I think I need to give 811 more of a chance- it feels like I'm not losing weight b/c I'm a bit bloated from even more fiber from fruit than usual.

-4 bananas w/ raw cacao powder and my first nectarine of the season!!!

I feel really great today. When I'm eating raw I don't get tons of physical energy, it's more mental energy/clarity and inner happiness. I mean I have more energy or motivation to do things, but I just overall feel really peaceful and content. I feel very grateful to be eating this way.
I planted my veggie garden today! Well, fruit and veggie since there's some non-sweet fruit in there. I

Today was a good day for me, except that I got a minor concussion at work from walking into the top door of a dog kennel! Eeek, that's the 3rd time I've done that in the past month and I'm feeling pretty dizzy and out of it right now! I had a bad concussion last January and seem to be prone to them now.

Hi Jodi, I didn't see your post earlier! I guess I was in a hurry! Thanks for your kind words. I do LOVE my job and I am doing what I feel is most important- working towards ending animal suffering- however I honestly don't believe that it will ever end. So it's hard for me to face all the negativity, all the abandoned animals, all the animals whom people have failed, on a daily basis. Most

I decided to take the day off from work today. I need a "mental health day" from all the sadness that's been going on there lately and also just a physical break from it. I definitely have that summer mentality right now. My vacation is so close- less than 2 months away- but so far at the same time! It's hard to get used to not having a change of pace in the summer since college end

I'm not feeling so great today. The past week or so at work have been heart-wrenching and today was even worse I think it really takes a toll on your body when you're surrounded by so much negativity and hopelessness. I love my job, but when it rains, it pours.
My food reflects how crappy I felt today. It was a total junk food day, albeit 100% raw.

Another raw day for me. I didn't eat much- I was up all night due to stomach pains, and they went away by around 3 AM but I had to get up at 6 AM for work so I didn't get more than 3 hours of sleep. I wasn't very hungry today and then found out that one of our dogs who has been at the shelter for a long time was being euthanized today due to mental deterioration. We were trying to get her into

Hi keepingfaith! What you are experiencing is totally normal. Transitioning to a raw vegan diet & lifestyle is a huge change from what most people are used to. It doesn't happen overnight and that's ok! So you had some cooked food in the past couple days. Even if you're just eating a couple raw things throughout the day, it's still adding up to something better than before, and it's stil
