Raw Fu

100 Day Raw Food Challenge

Bunny Berry

DAY 1- SURVIVE 100 DAYS WITH BUNNY- Lowanna & Bunny - Joy, Happiness, and Aspartame!

Happy Day 1 Everyone! Welcome to the 3rd 100 Day Raw Fu Challenge! Today is my 1 year raw food anniversary, and I could not be more honored to be spending it here with all of you. I am so fired up about the changes you are going to see in your life by making one change. Bringing in the nutrition, and flushing out the toxins that are holding us back from fulfilling our life's potential.

I've been living this lifestyle for a year, but focusing my first year on adapting to the lifestyle. My 2nd year is going to be about freeing myself from poisons and toxins.

As usual, the lovely LOWANNA is here for Tuesdays with Lou. If you're just starting out with raw foods, please watch this video, and feel Lou's love.

I can't see the vid either, but regardless of that I am PSYCHED to have this challenge start! I did the first challenge and sat out of Andre's Revenge, keeping high raw on my own but not actually following along with the days. I can't believe how much I missed it! I tried to jump in around the 65 day mark and I just felt left behind, so here I am, ready to continue the path of healing and health with RAW FU!!

I usually keep about 75-85% raw but made an effort to be 100% today in honor of the day. It wasn't hard, as I ate cooked on Easter and felt like death yesterday. To prepare for the kick-off I have 5 trays of corn/flax chips in the D, crudites up the ying yang, a big bowl of eggless egg salad made with cashews and LOTS of bananas.

My number one goal for this 100 days is to start making more raw deserts, as that is where I usually run into problems. I have a big tray of Bunny's chocolate cherry truffles in the freezer to start and I have a pound of cacao butter en route so I am going to get creative. I will be finishing graduate school and moving to a new town (with my husband and our less-than-thrilled 8-year-old) during this challenge, so I need all the strength and good vibes I can get. I know that living foods will get me through it all. Oh, I almost forgot, over the holidays, I FINALLY stopped smoking for good. I was a closet puffer for years, sneaking them here and there, but I am smoke free since 12/19/08 and I have been able to start running again. It is a beautiful thing.

So welcome to all that are new, HELLO to all who have been around Raw Fu, and WooHoo, LET'S GO RAW!!

my day one has been... other-than-excellent so far. it's ok, I'll get over it. Today was the moment where I came out of denial about just how badly I got f-screw-ed by my former employer - the equity, the unpaid overtime, etc. - and how bad it sucks now that I'm the one after my 2 years of solid dedication who is having to look for money, employment, backers, etc. it was more emo than this little system could handle, and I ate my way through it, until something stepped up and said, ok. enough. I haven't had any cooked food since NOON! and that's an accomplishment, believe me. I'm going to just suck it up the rest of the day.

I was always able to steer clear of the evil aspartame, thank god - I had enough bad habits without that one. I'm very proud, though, that I got my BF off the nasty stuff - he's very happy with black iced tea sweetened with agave nectar to replace his old diet dr. pepper. it's working well! try it!

Bunny, how much more could I possibly adore you. you are so naked, so transparent, such a HERO!!! I love you. Now, on to Lou's vid! more from me later!

Years ago I was a TAB drinker(REMEMBER TAB) OMG I can't believe I loved it.Then I was a diet pepsi not diet coke fan.I also use the blue and pink packets in my iced tea.My husband about 5 years ago said~Why don't you try your iced tea without sugars(fake stuff that I used).That was all at least 5 years ago.So I am off of all of that as of 5 years ago.I just stopped coffee in my A.M.'s last year.BUT I sometimes sip a few sips on hubbies lattes.Instead off coffee in my mouth maybe I should try the other end:-). I heard they are great! Its a day to day journey.I am proud of me at this point in my life.
Oh congrats on the 1 year on your Raw journey.I could join you on your belly fat dance :-)Hugs!

Bunny -- I'm glad you are getting off aspartame!! I was lucky to hear how awful it was a few years ago and have been off it ever since, and YES, they do sneak it into a lot of products. Even more reason to to eat whole live foods, where they can't slip it in. Hopefully your video will help spread the horrible news and get more people off it too. I applaud your bravery (showing your tummy-o-toxins!) Go Bunny!
(p.s. I haven't seen if you conquered the ants yet, but pouring lots of boiled water on the anthills works in my yard..just FYI if you haven't already tried that yet).

Congratulations, Beth! Look at all you've done for yourself and everyone else, too! I'm so proud of you!!!

Thank goodness when I was in college a doctor told me to stop chewing sugar free gum because the aspartame was doing harm to my throat (he felt it was causing me to get strep throat). I stayed away from it ever since then. I wish he'd have told me to stay away from cooked foods--I'd certainly be Super Woman by now if I had that knowledge back then!

If I was hooked on diet soda and didn't want to give up my soda addiction, I'd go for sugar-filled soda instead! It's less harmful in the long run.

YOU CAN DO IT! You can all do it!!!!

ROFL Dunlop Disease!!! I love you, Bunny! You crack me up!!

I had Dunlop Disease and raw cured me of that!! I still can't believe how much my body has changed on raw!! When people say they aren't the same person anymore, that's no lie.

I really like the theme of this new 100 Day Challenge! You are an amazing woman!

Lots of love,

Wendi
XOXOXO

Ok, have now seen the video. Well gee, if I can give up smoking, coffee, processed food, and all things gluten, what the heck, bye bye aspartame! Honestly I don't drink it much at all anymore, as since going raw, it tastes very odd and chemically to me. I have, however, ordered the occasional cocktail with a little aspartame mixer. It's all out the window now, I'm all about toxicity too and I agree with Bunny- Dunlop Disease is taking over America! LOL Love you Bunny and I am so happy to be back!
