Elaa your cat is adorable! He seems like a very curious and interactive little guy!
How are you liking the Raw Divas detox program so far? I admire all those green smoothies- I never could get into them. How much spinach do you put in? Maybe I was trying to put in too much too soon, b/c the spinach or greens always overpowered the bananas!
You're doing great! I hope yoga was fun and lo

Elaa, I know what you mean about it being impossible to do yoga with a cat around! It's definitely not as good as when I was taking classes...but the cats love to annoy me! As for the raw almond butter, I buy it...I forget the brand and I'm not in my apartment right now but I'll let you know tomorrow what brand it is. It's sooooo good. It's mildly sweet and heavier than most raw foods which i

Good morning! I love waking up after a day of eating mainly raw- I feel so energized, happy and excited for a new day. I don't feel that way unless I'm eating raw. I got up today, had a light breakfast and worked out. I ran 3 miles with some speed intervals, then cut the run short in favor of doing some yoga. I miss yoga and I'm going to try to make it more of a priority. It took the backse

Hi elaa, thanks for the encouragement! I am hoping to get back into yoga, I really loved it when I was taking classes but can no longer afford them. I am going to look into some good yoga DVD's though!

Hello everyone. I'm "meow" and I posted regularly on this site while following a raw vegan diet for 6 months, then a break, then about 4-5 months, last summer through winter. I didn't fall off the raw wagon so much as I chose to focus on my running and running a marathon and felt I needed to choose between eating raw and running hard. I chose running hard and incorporated grains and

hi girls! no time to post today...just a quick update. yesterday was good, don't remember what i ate but there was definitely NO bread, haha. i'm still eating cooked hummus b/c i've been too busy/lazy to make raw hummus, but i'm fine with that. no workout yesterday- much needed rest day.

Soraya, your allergies sound awful I hope you get things cleared up soon. And it's actually strangely comforting to know I'm not the only one who battled the bread demons! I'm glad we are both moving on now.
Good day today- yoga was really challenging and I loved it! I'm so sore though (from the longer run yesterday and now from yoga) and I think tomorrow will have to be a rest day. I'm

Amy- I'm the opposite of you, I LOVE how I can feel my metabolism working & my body repairing itself after a long, challenging workout! That is pretty much the only time I'm totally ok with eating tons of food. My advice is to really just go with what your body is asking for. You definitely burned tons of calories, not to mention your body gets shocked by intense workouts and it needs extr

Hey chicas.

Hi Amy, we seem to be the only ones around lately! Ayutthaya sounds so interesting. I love exploring really old villages / cities, it's so cool to imagine what life was like so many centuries ago.

Soraya, thanks for the info about the iron-rich foods! I'll have to get some pumpkin seeds. And I agree about soy being in everything! It's cheap so it's always used as a filler. Sometimes I think the whole soy craze is completely phoney- soy products cost next to nothing to make and yet they usually cost more than the alternative product!

IT'S THE WEEKEND!!! This week has been way too long!
I am feeling so much better than I was just a few days ago. I think my body needed a couple days of 100% raw after the cooked food I ate in VT & last weekend. I will probably have a bagel w/ raw almond butter tomorrow, but I will enjoy it, not stress about it, and get back to 100% raw on Sunday
