Exercise is actually and shockingly the only place where I haven't been slacking. I've gotten into the habit of exercising most days for years and I usually do around 30-45 minutes a day. Right now I'm big on Leslie Sansone, alternating between 2 ...
I know a lot of people make mammoth smoothies that do last them for a while. I prefer a smaller smoothie (about 20-24 oz) which I have mid-morning as a snack and lasts me 2-3 hours (although if I wait 3 hours I'm pretty hungry!). I'm also just beg...

I did do this exercise, even though I'm just posting it now :lol: Since I wasn't in time to join the challenge last time, I just listed my triumphs for the last 100 days.

I actually got an email about this (because I'm a member of the Raw Divas site :D). I'm still a newbie to raw smoothies so mine are very tame (only 1 cup of spinach, 1 celery stalk and 1 1/2 cup chopped fruit, a little agave if there are more sour...

Thanks, Dalia. I do take a Vitamin B complex supplement, have been taking it for years. I know that doesn't mean that my body is absorbing the vitamins, though.
I guess I'll have to look into what raw foods contain vitamin B :D.

Bunny, it could very well be the chair I'm sitting in. It's not a very good one, although I've been using it for years and haven't noticed a problem. But then again, I haven't had to work from this chair all day like I have the last 2 years. Might...
Robin, it could very well be stress. The last 4 weeks have been extremely stressful for me, more than usual. This past week was the most stressful because of a test I had scheduled to finish a training which I had to pass to move on to a new job (...
I highly recommend looking at the chair you are sitting in at the computer. It might be time to get a new chair. Try taking the chair away, and then using a different one (even one from the dining room table for a little while). The chair could be...
My ex-husband had numbness like you describe, on and off in feet and hands and it turned out to be caused by stress. (As soon as we got divorced, the numbnes went away and never returned). Not saying that this is it of course but thought it was wo...
Hi all,
I know this isn't a medical forum, but I trust the thoughts of all of you here :).
In the last week, something that's been really worrying me is that I've developed a numbness in my right foot. It kind of comes and goes. It's not a heavy ...
This is great! I think the visual representation really helped me see the whole concepts. I'm a very visual person so I may just go out and buy a lunch tray and put some labels on it with my goals once I set them. I think having that to look at wi...
Bunny, thank you so much for the inspiring words and I'm right there with you! I've really seen in the last 5 years how much I focus on the negative and one of my goals is to start focusing on the positive. Your video was just what I needed today ...
I'm still trying to organize and also waiting for the goal setting that we're going to be doing. I do have a few rules that I plan to stick to:
- Try to keep it as close to 100% raw as possible, no less than 90%
- Not count calories or nutrients ...

- Why Do You Want to Join Raw Fu?
- I would like to join Raw Fu because I'm looking for support to get going on my raw food diet and stay raw for more than a few days or a few weeks. I have been trying to go raw for about a year now and have major binge eating issues but I know that if I can get some support I can succeed with raw because I really believe it is the healthiest way of living, physically, emotionally, and spiritually!

Gearing Up For WholeFu Challenge!
Well, despite my good intentions, the 4 day fruit and veggie cleanse didn't happen this weekend :(. I was just way too busy and way too stressed with work stuff to feel up to starting something new like that. But I did manage to keep mainly raw, especially yesterday. However, I developed a huge migraine last night and it's still with me. To top that off, some plumbing people were working on the apartment in back of mine and knocked on my door to tell me that I couldn't use my kitchen sink until… Continue

4 Day Raw Detox
I'm planning on doing a 4 day detox type of thing starting tomorrow and going until Monday. I got the idea from the Raw Diva website, which offers a 7 day detox for free. It's pretty strict (for me, anyway). It's only fruits and veggies for 7 days - no added fats, nuts, dried fruit, etc. I know it's going to be tough, which is why I'm going for 4 days instead of 7. But I feel like I need to cleanse my body because I keep falling off the wagon and I feel like if I can make it through 4 days on a… Continue
