Wow, this has been an exciting 30 days. There have been a couple of challenges such as when I had the tooth ache and couldn't imagine eating any raw foods. I haven't been completely 100% raw, but pretty darn close to it! I also haven't felt guilty about eating anything that I have eaten that wasn't raw. I've only eaten fish and eggs. I can't bring myself to eat any other type of protein meat source. I was so hungry today that I wanted something to stick to my ribs. I bought some Shanghai Dumplin… Continue

Today was a very good raw food day. You know what, I really feel good about eating raw. It's not just the fact of eating a whole food nutrient packed diet, but it feels good to not feel guilty about what I'm eating. I think that is what I like about eating this way the most. Even if it's a pleasure food like enchiladas. In the raw form, I can enjoy and know that I'm eating something that's actually fueling, cleaning, protecting, and renewing my body. This is a win win! Even with chocolate. It's… Continue

Well, my couple of days of eating cooked foods resulted in an entire weekend of eating anything but raw. I didn't over do it or eat just to be eating. I ate breakfast and pretty much dinner. I ate what the rest of the family ate. I don't know what was going on with me last week. I wanted eggs and after Humpty Dumpty broke and got is little behind scrambled, it just went on from there. I am glad I got this out of my system. Cooked foods just don't seem the same.

Tomorrow is a new day and I want… Continue

It's interesting, for the past couple of days, I've wanted scrambled eggs. The cafe at the hospital I work in makes this great egg casserole that has bell peppers, onions, ham, and cheese, and of course when I would want it, they don't have it. Well, I settled today for the casserole, but it had broccoli in it. I thought, well, it does have a vegetable in it. The casserole was very good. I didn't get that much, and I also had a slice of toast. After that, I had my fruit. But once I got home, I s… Continue

Today hasn't been the best day. I started having pain yesterday from a tooth ache. I didn't want to take any pain meds, but the pain outweighed my resolve for having a clean body. Aleve knocked the pain out and I haven't had any since. ( I took it yesterday evening) I've been using the old home remedy of warm salt water soaks, and the swelling of my gum has gone down. The plus, I haven't had to use anymore Aleve. The downer, I wanted something soft. I'd make applesauce for work today, even thoug… Continue
