Ugh, I feel like crap today. I look like crap too. I felt ok when I went into work but it hit me as I was cleaning one of the cat rooms. My throat is killing me and I have to train a new hire tomorrow, so I'll be talking all day! I should have eaten more clementines today for Vitamin C, but I didn't really have a taste for them (or anything besides bananas).
I'm not sure why my immune syst

Elaa, I haven't read the 811 Diet book either! I've heard a lot about it from raw food forums, blogs and research. I think a challenge together is just what I need to actually stick to it for longer than a couple of days! How long would you like to go for? 2 weeks? A month? I'm up for anything!
Good luck with the gym! I don't know what I'd do w/o the treadmill and weight machine in my b

Welcome and congratulations for taking a big step for your health! I have dealt with eating disorders since I was a kid, and eating raw is the only time I have ever been able to stop worrying about food/exercise and be comfortable in my body. Best of luck and I look forward to hearing about your journey!

SoCal is a really fun place to live- very very expensive, but you really can't beat the weather, the nightlife or the geography. I hear you re: having to leave your friends- I guess I've gotten used to it since I moved so much growing up, but it kind of sucks not to have any childhood friends! There are so many great places to experience though.

Yesterday I ran into a friend from work at the market and she was eating some of my old favorite hummus (they have a sandwich and salad buffet/seating area there). I sat with her for a few minutes to chat and had some hummus with carrots...and it tasted like sawdust. It was not at all what I remember eating just 2 weeks ago. What a weird experience- it also made my stomach feel so heavy for th

Yay for a lazy morning!
I am craving almonds lately so I'm going to splurge money-wise and buy organic, raw almond butter today. Yum. That will be my fat for the day (1-2 T of it on bananas).
It's snowing like crazy out. It's nice to be bundled up in fleeces in my warm apartment and not freezing outside with the dogs at work! Anyway I just wanted to have a plan for the day so I can avoi

I am so happy it's my weekend. I feel so crappy! I'm detoxing like mad and have a headache, fatigue and am craving all sorts of cooked vegan foods as a result. It's awful! I have stuck to 100% raw though...but ooooh man what I wouldn't give for a big thick slice of whole grain bread with peanut butter! I feel like I'm eating so much b/c I'm craving something, but eat something else to squash

I am home today feeling sick and taking a much-needed "mental health day." I've been feeling like my body's fighting off a cold for the past couple days and really am not up to doing anything physical today. I also think I supressed a lot of emotional stuff this past week. Another dog got put to sleep last Friday, and I've been having nightmares of other animals at the shelter gettin

Quick post today b/c I'm pretty exhausted from work. 5 days in a row of what I do is a lot...and this was only day 3, haha.
I am still VERY hungry almost all the time. But adding up what I'm eating, I'm taking in only about 1800 calories on my really big eating days. So, I think I just feel like I'm eating a lot. According to Fitday I burn about 2300 calories per day average, and often eve

I'm not sure what's up, but I've been hungry/wanting to eat constantly for the past 2 days! I can't seem to get full or satisfied. The good news is I'm not craving cooked foods at all- I'm craving bananas & lara bars, which is ok to eat! LOL.
I don't remember what I ate yesterday but the only overt fat was one lara bar- definitely 8-1-1.
Today:

Whew, I just got done with a big cleaning spree. My apartment was pretty disorganized and cluttered with papers, cat toys, unopened mail, etc. and I needed to vacuum desperately so I spent the morning creating a system for my important papers & documents, filing them away, cleaning up the clutter and finally vacuuming. I even whipped out that little piece you put on the end of the vacuum ho

I'm feeling kind of out of it today...I think it's just the cold. It literally hurts to be outside or driving, and I had to run a bunch of errands today and take my parents' dogs out. The high up in the mountains here was 0 degrees! Eeek.
I wanted to eat just fruits/veggies today but I ended up eating a Lara Bar. I was just gravitating towards dense foods (bananas!) to try to stay warm.

Yay for my weekend being here! I am usually wiped out by this time in the week, but I had so much energy I ran after work today even though I didn't get home til 7 PM. It felt so good to run, even if it was just a short one.
It's freezing here! It's going down to -15 to -20 tonight. That's right NEGATIVE 20! That's really cold, even for Vermont. I remember one winter it was -10 one day

Elaa, I do the same thing most of the time when I buy them! They are addictive!
Today was my "Thursday," meaning the second to last day of my 5-day work week. Usually by this time I'm physically exhausted, falling asleep on the couch at 9 PM, dragging in the morning. Today I felt great. I ran around all afternoon at work, as usual, but I wasn't dragging at all. I have been in su

That guy sounds like such a weirdo! I wonder what his deal is?
My alarm never went off this morning so my day was really thrown off! I didn't get to make a green smoothie, I just grabbed some bananas for the drive to work. I ended up getting there only 40 mins. late, which is amazing since I woke up over 1.5 hours late! I ended up eating very very little fat today, which is good b/c I want

Ooh, if those raw goji cacao bites you got are anything like the ones I get here, you are in for a treat! They are way too good!

I am freezing today! All day long. I had to shovel/scrape my car off this morning b/c we had a big storm overnight, and being out in the cold for too long made it impossible to warm up! I am going to cuddle up to the cats soon and hibernate under lots of blankets.
Today was pretty uneventful...lots of work, lots of fruit, my coworkers are expressing interest in my "diet" rather th

Hi and welcome back to raw foodism! I think it's really great that you are introducing your son to living foods, he is very lucky to have that advantage so early in life!
I wish I could help you out w/ what's safe during breastfeeding, but I'm not knowledgeable about that stuff at all! But I just wanted to offer some suggestions about how to make eating raw easier as far as food prep, etc.

I had so much energy today! I can't remember the last time I felt so awake in the morning and actually got out of bed when the alarm went off...well, yes I can- It was the last time I was eating completely raw ;-) Anyway I just felt really good and happy all day. I love the incredible sense of well-being and lightness that I feel when I'm eating raw. Still detoxing mildly, but nothing too bad

I had to mix it w/ balsamic vinegar while I got used to it but now it's great, and if my face breaks out I use it as toner on my face, too! Wow, I didn't know all that about v

Jodi that is a good idea! It's sitting in my fridge right now...I bet the sesame seeds would be a good exfoliant ;-)
I have decided to make a raw guacamole dip to replace the cooked hummus I'd been eating, so I'm off to the grocery again (ugh) to get the ingredients I am lacking. I know I like guac and have made it many times before so it should be a good substitute. I do need something wit

Well the raw hummus did not turn out well! The sesame seeds didn't actually grind up in my food processor, so it was more of a zucchini-garlic mush. I still ate some of it b/c I was hungry, but I don't think this stuff would be for me even if it had ground up perfectly. The garlic made my nose run and now I'm super thirsty. I am thinking of just making some good raw guacamole for a dip for my

Today was rough. I was just starving and dizzy almost all day long. I didn't have enough food in the house for breakfast and was about to keel over by 10 AM at work. Then I had a huge lunch but still felt like I might pass out by 4 PM. I can't eat snacks at work, sometimes I can grab half a banana or something, but usually not, so when I'm starving I have to wait til lunch or til I get home.
