Always hungry. Usually a sceptic. Not giving up coffee (yet).

P.S. Bunny, those photos put a smile on my face, for real.
I LOVE Halloween. LOVE. I also love Michael Jackson's Thriller video and I remember vividly the night that premeried on MTV. Henry Miller we were pumped. UP. and screaming our tween hearts the mother-fucking-fuck OUT. MTV followed it up with Jump,...
Mine are currently heavy on pears, cranberries, grapefruit juice (because the pith makes it bitter), orange juice, coconut water, ginger, little pineapple, baby greens and water. Hi fall.
Seriously? You've never opened a coconut that was so young it hardly had any meat? Dude. I have. I get them all the time and the teeniest bit of flesh that has started to form is purple. It's not bad, it's young.
That said, I have opened one, onc...
Purple meat doesn't mean it's off, it just means it's really REALLY young. You'll know a bad one, I promise.

OH
It's taken me two years to go raw. On off on off on off. Man. But now my youngest is a little over two and finally weaned and I'm no longer ruled by raging nursing or pregnancy hunger. And now, NOW raw seems to be sticking. The last time I picked myself up from falling off was right around the start of the latest 100 day challenge. I didn't pay too much attention to it and somehow that worked. At this point, I'm pretty well raw. I'm still drinking a tiny juice glass of coffee every morning because I fear the headaches. So that I'm weaning off slowly. But the rest of it. I get the occasional bits of agave (not really raw, right?) and whatever else, but eh. Raw. Good enough for me.

Prisoner! I'm a prisoner!
To coffee. That fucking monkey, I can't get it off my back. I can't remember when I started drinking it but it was love at first sip, no doubt. I love the bitter and the hot and the steam rising to my face. Dammit I love it. I love it but this time around with raw, I'd decided to stop. To cut back slowly. I thought I was doing ok but in hindsight, it gave me a few days of Bitch and yesterday it about took me down in flames.

Free! I'm free!
I'm feeling pretty confident here, at the start of summer with the surplus of warm weather and fresh fruit, that I'm free of SAD. I hesitate to say that out loud because as the mother of two young kids, I know that saying it out loud is tempting fate and once you open your mouth, the kids regress and you're back to not sleeping through the night. But I'm saying it anyway. I'm free.
I'd say I had a pretty "healthy" SAD diet. I came to raw on the heels of constant bone-crushing hunger. I was blin… Continue

*lightbulb*
Two weeks ago, I noticed that my (decent, not exactly cheap, retro-cool) blender smelled like burning. That was...unsettling. Then my smoothies started to taste like burning. That was quite enough, thank you very much.

Guess what?!?
I fell off the wagon. Then I got back on. Then I fell off again. Then I got back on so I could do a swan dive off the fucker.
It's been fun. There've been a bunch of holidays, a few birthdays (mine and my mother's), a layoff (the husband's) and a visiting mother and brother-in-law. My kids are about to hit ages two and four. They are both barnacles 80% of the time and I spend a good hour at least every morning around 5 lying awake, being mauled while they jockey for space near me in bed. I love… Continue

Would like to sleep for a living
MAN all I want to do is sleep. Niclas has been humoring me this weekend and yesterday I slept till nearly 11. Eleven! !!! Today I got up at 9:30. I feel guilty about this but he does get to nap with Linnea so it's not like he's missing out on sleep. But still. All this sleeping. What's up with it? I vaguely remember what PMS feels like and this feels like that. I hope. I hope because otherwise I'm lost in a sea of extremely weird dreams with a puffy face and bloated stomach.

Disco Biscuit said… - Ok, so one more thing. I noticed that you went no poo earlier this year.... Has it stuck? Not the grease, that is, but were you able to stick with it. I just started the no poo rou(tine...it rhymes better that way) just last night & wanted to see if it truly can be done! Wink! :)

- herro! thanks for the pal request! All your pix are so great & you're only just starting out in raw?!?!?! Your creations would state otherwise! Must be natural talent. So I saw some cute lil blonde munchkins in your pix... Are you raising your children raw? This is an area I would love to pick someone's brain in as the hubs & I will probably start a family here before too long. How admirable! Hope all is well & you & yours are in good health. Cheers! :)

Rebecca M. said… - Hey atomic, I like to praise you for sticking with it with the kids too! If I become a mom someday I hope to live this way also. I am sure it can be stressful at times. Keeping the kids happy and healthy along with yourself is a full time job. Also.. not sure if I missed it but what is the purpose of not shampooing? I would asume healthier hair?

Tiffany said… - Oh, yeah...and I really like the way you do your hair with the bandana and braids. I hope you don't mind if I mimic the style....I'm on the west coast...I don't think anypne will notice the similarities! I am going to be at the beach for several days next week and this style will work very well with the whipping winds off the Oregon coast!

- I love ALL your pix! Esp. when you put little people (toys) in them! As a SAHM of 3 I totally get into the goofy side of life....call it a coping mechanism! How do you make the sweet potato chips? Slice and dry? Or toss with something first?

Christaface said… - Did you get your Vita-Mix yet?? I want to hear about it when you do, b/c they're coming to our Costco next week and I'm completely torn about the investment...
How's raw going for you? After 2 weeks I'm thisclose to running out for bacon/chips/something heated...maybe if I hadn't decided to weigh myself every saturday morning...boo.

Kirsten said… - You crack me up, Atomic!! I am so glad to meet a fellow bitchy latte lover who is striving for rawness. Maybe as we get more and more raw, we will lose our bitchiness. That is something that actually scares me, cuz I am really quite attached to it, and... what would my husband and kids to with a really sweet wife/mother?
I love, love, love precious Angela Stokes, but I am scared if I get too raw, I will start saying things like "Yumsters" and stuff. I guess I just got to suck it up and go with the flow....ya know? In the meantime, thoroughly enjoy your coffee!!!!!!! (I hear after being raw for a while, you kind of don't love it anymore- in fact this morning, I threw out 1/2 an Americano).

Elaine said… - Thanks - would love to, but what would I do with the kids? Who is your last minute sitter?
Also - loved the lime in mango with ginger recipe. Later I added lemon to my tomato juice combo and boy did it make a difference. Think I like veggie juices better so far. Got a total sugar rush from my am green drink! Off to the local farmer's market...
Oh and I'm not even attempting to deal with raw dinners yet!
