I'm not going to the Santa Barbara fest, but I am going to the RSF East in MD. Next to my trip to Germany in June, it's the one thing I'm MOST excited about this year! I bought my tickets the SECOND that Rawbin posted the info. This is a HUGE thin...

I wish I could come hang out with you too. I would be there in a heartbeat. It's pretty solitary here. There are many amazing raw vegans here. I met some at a raw meetup but I have only attended one. Other than that, I'm pretty much at home all th...

Is it Talk Like a Pirate day or do you really have scurvy? hehe.
You know, the first "corset" I ever made was part of a wench costume in 9th grade. It was a wide, shaped belt that laced up the front. People thought I was supposed to be rupunzel because my hair was down and it was so long.

No worries on the Tuna recipe. I figured you were busy. When you have time I'd love to compare it to the one I learned. Thanks :)

Looooooooooooooove!

I hear you about the struggling. The best thing to do (as silly as this sounds) is just allow the struggle and accept it for what it is. Be thankful for the tough times because they only strengthen your resolve to enjoy the natural flow of the universe. If you get a chance, watch this:


It TOTALLY changed my perspective.

I was having a really hard time because DCF is two months behind in paying us for some reason (this usually doesn't happen), and so the money I had earmarked for college just wasn't there. I had wanted to go fulltime this fall, but it was just an impossibility financially. I also would have had to find someone to watch Ester, as she is only halfday kindergarten. I realized that the universe was trying to tell me NOT RIGHT NOW, and I was struggling hard against it! I did sign up for ONE class, biology, which fit PERFECTLY with my schedule. Yay! I know that I will go back fulltime someday soon, because my intention is out there and the universe will honor it at the right time.

It's kind of the same for you. Your intention is out there, and it WILL be honored. I am so glad you have your fridge full of green goodness, sister. It will DEFINITELY calm and center you. I have been doing green smoothies until dinner, upping my green intake to about 2 pounds a day. I cannot believe the change in my life. I have been so much more grounded and calm.

...I always write too much, lol.

Anyways, I love you a lot and you are in my thoughts. <3

Thanks for the enzyme link. I will look into it soon. I have literally thousands of emails I have to sift through now because my computer was broken. I am still using Rodney's, which means i am way behind on everything. Thanks for rsvping for the co-op celebration. I look forward to it. :)

i think paul said tonya can't go to RSF with us.
The Body Works exhibit was mind blowing! No cameras allowed though and we couldn't buy anything because they closed the gift store (we were the last people out).
I think beano (mold or fungus based/) and megazyme (combination of several enzymes) are both natural enzymes. They seem to help. What plant based enymes would you suggest exactly?
I loved the digestive tract exhibit. I didn't realize our colon was so freakishly sloppy on the outside. Not at all like pictures. it looks like a sea creature! You MUST go see the body works exhibit before it's gone (very soon)!!!
My computer if broken and I am sharing Rodney's so I have limited access. If you wish, you can call me any time.
have an amazing day!
Sorry for the rambling. Running on 3 hours sleep and stress from the co-op.
(hugs)

Hi Lorena,
Thanks for the friend request. How you doing this afternoon?

How funny! That is EXACTLY how my friend served it to her husband. He loved it too. He is far from interested in health, but he liked the sandwich....baby steps! :)

Planning, Organizing and Preparing for Success! (or POPS for short!)

The last two days were pretty good but not great, simply because I started out unprepared.
TODAY I am getting it together so it will be easier to stay raw and meet my goals. I had a raw potluck to go to but my hubby doesn't feel well (he's quadriplegic), so I need to stay close to home. So I figure I can best use the time to do what I need to do to ensure my success for the coming week. I'm going to hop on my treadmill tooooooo.
I Promise.

So....what do I want to eat this week?
Smoothies, for s… Continue

I'm jumping on the wagon...I've been gone too long!

Hi Everyone!!!
Lorena here...
I've been away from the site for quite some time, struggling with a lot of stresses in life as we all are these days.
I happened to see tonight that you have all embarked on yet another 100 day challenge so on the spur of the moment I have decided to jump in whole-heartedly and swim my arse off. I have become more and more desperate and distraught over the last few weeks about my weight. I must confess that last night I was even researching lap band surgery....yes,… Continue

Oh, Am I Supposed To Be Eating RAW Food??? :D

Oh my goodness. I have not been very raw lately. I became really ill during Raw Spirit Fest, unfortunately, which has severely interfered with my ablility to eat high fiber foods. I will spare you the details of this painful "affliction". Suffice it to say...it wasn't pretty! I suffered with it day and night for a full week before I finally gave in and saw my doctor. I hardly ate anything all week in hopes of relieving the pain and other symptoms, but it wasn't working. So the doctor put me oContinue

Weight on Aug 13 (Day 13)

Well, I"m a little disappointed this time, but not suprised. A few days ago I was actually a pound and a half lighter than I am now, but I haven't managed to stay 100% raw the last few days. So it looks like some of the water I lost has been re-retained. I'm not discouraged though, because I know what happened and what I need to do to reverse it.

Highest Weight : 218 (1.1.08)
Aug.1 - Day 1 : 208.5
Last Weigh-in: 202
Current Weigh-in: 202 (8.13.08)
Current Wt Lost: 0
Total Loss for Challenge:
