I have been gone for so so so long! How are things going?? I have been avoiding coming back here because I failed so miserably at keeping Raw. It all went to hell right around my 21st and never recovered LOL. But then I realized that I still don't eat meat and much more veggies/fruits, so if I look at it that way I have actually improved my health, and that is all that really matters. So anyway....I'm back and I am going to try to ease back into this.
How are you doing??? What have you been up to? I'm gonna go read your blogs now!
Hi there, I was hoping to go there today but the snow has put me off. Gosh it would be a shame if we never got to go to Columbus's only Raw food restaurant LOL. I hope you are having a fantastic day. Hugs. Lisa
Hi there. Good to know you are back. Hope you are enjoying the first few days of 2009. Did you ever get a chance to go to Brain Food in Columbus? I think I need to go there this week. My husband is working from home and so he can take me. I will keep you posted. Hugs sent your way. Lisa
I'm a freshman at George Washington University. It's been sooo cold here. I'll be sure to post up some pics as soon as I put my 'kitchen' together...probably won't be until spring semester though since its almost exam time! your dishes that include corn all look amazing by the way.
Hey,
Someone commented on my blog awhile back and suggested that I look at your dorm kitchen setup because I was having kitchen issues in my single. Yours looks great!! I think I might try to mimic your layout and later put up some photos of it. Thanks for the inspiration!
Hi there, good to hear from you. The photo was taken a couple of months ago at Negril Jamaica, I have lost 25 lbs since then so I feel a lot better. How are you keeping? Can you believe the first challenge is almost over :0) Are you going to do the mini challenge and then the next 100 day challenge? I am, the support here has been amazing. Have a great day. Lisa
YO. Just read your blog. Haven't been on in weeks, thought I'd randomly get on and WABAM! I'm just in time, my friend! Ok, first of all, don't worry about the weight and I don't want you to get on the scale again until you feel confident in how you look and feel, and you'll realize then that weight doesn't matter. Second of all, it's probably just water weight/nothing that you couldn't lose with a few days of juicing or raw-ing. Third, you are amazing, and don't get down on yourself, but it's ok if you are...I hate it when people tell me to "calm down" when I'm already calm etc etc.. Fourth, when is your fall break? If possible, get away from college and away from dorms and away from bad influences, and get into a place that fosters happy mind and thought, for god's sake! You can beat yourself up all you want about not treating your body well, but until you are in a physical location that supports truly healthy Self, will you be truly happy. And FIFTH but not least, kiwis are amazing! That's all I have to say, I'm watching the Simpsons for the first time in months... :)
Hi Kathy, how are you doing? Haven't been to Brain Food yet but seriously thinking about going there this weekend. But wondering if it is ever going to be open. How is raw going for you. Any challenges at college? Just sending you happy thoughts. Lisa
Haha that is so funny, I actually read that book this summer and it is really what pushed me back to raw/juicing!! It is really good, I read it twice in two days lol. Thanks, I will try not to have anymore nightmares :) Oh and in four days non-raw, I gained all the weight back I had lost, plus a pound! I'm getting fat its ridiculous, just some more motivation to not eat meat and shit. Blargh
and how are you anyway? I read your post about the blackout it sounds ridiculously fun, so jealous. My sister had a similar thing going on at University of Louisville and I called her and she told me it was the apocalpyse. And then she told me was on ecstacy...so I realized that it was probably the drugs talking, but it still sounded awesome! haha
The only time I can make it this weekend is Sunday, but with such a little info on the place I don't even know if it is open on Sundays. Probably not. The Elusive Brain Food :0) Lisa
Hi there, I wanted to check in to see whether or not you made it to Brain Food over the weekend? Hope you are having a great evening....actually it's probably more like bedtime, not much evening left :0) Lisa
psssst. I have a secret. I, too, have also decided that with the summer gone and my "regular" life back in full swing, it is simply too hard for me to stick to 100%. I thought about you and your decision to commit to uncommit (haha), and it made me feel a lot better about it. I had a piece of great bread the other day, and realized that my body wanted that. It wants the balance of "regular" meals again. I've gone 21 years on foods that have been cooked, and I've been doing just fine, you know? I mean, I have zero taste for shitty food and want nothing but whole foods, and will not be bingeing on oreos or anything, but I want lentil soup again! And maybe some occasional stirfry! And toasty sandwiches! I want to be able to go out to eat with friends for freaking Thai food while a) not feeling guilty about it and b) being able to digest it and not get constipated for 3 days because my body's not used to it. AH! I literally cannot have a balanced raw meal unless it is blended smooth because of time's sake, and let's face it, I can't live forever on green smoothies...well actually I probably could...but that's besides the point. My life was in more balance while eating oatmeal and sandwiches and soups than it is now, and honestly, I just don't think that 100% is right for me...at least right now. Maybe it's a summer thing. Who knows? But whatI do know is that I really really really wantd to telly ou this.
Also, my sister's wedding is this weekend and I'm so bloated from eating so much dried fruit and nuts that I'm scared of how I'm going to a) look and b) feel in the dress. What the FUCK do I do if I literally do not fit into my dress? Kathy?? crisis! These pictures are going to do down into family history forever! I don't want to sound like an anorexic, but I think that I am seriously being forced to fast for a couple of days so that I can fit into it. This sucks. This really really sucks.
And working at a a coffee shop will be the bane of my existence while I try and lose a couple inches by FRIDAY...
No I haven't been yet. I am wondering if it is really even open. I have googled it and have found an address but no web address and no phone number. I really want to go though. Hope you have a great raw day 50. half way :0)
ugh, I know dude, I have been out of control busy, and when I get on the computer it's only to check the emails that need urgent responding, you know? Our third roommate moved in over the last few days, and now we're slowly getting settled and such. Annnnnnnyways, ya, I'm green smoothafying my life! Last night I got into the tahini and now my face is all puffy McPufferston, but other than that I'm goin full force. I don't know why I am so addicted to these things. Convenience? Taste? Bodily satisfaction? My staple smoothie is a bit of everything, that evolved from whatever I had in my fridge one night. It is:
1 or 1 1/2 ripe bosc pear
Handful of blueberries
Baby spinach
Kale
Romaine
Flaxseed
Coconut milk (just a tiny bit)
Water
I was getting tired of it until I started adding blueberries and kale, and I fell in love all over again.
How's school and dorm living? How are te people on your floor? Roommate?
Hey there. I'm glad my comment wasn't out of line, I'm glad we can relate on our extremism! :P So here is my proposal, we both shoot for the stars at 100%, and then focus on not feeling too guilty about our slip ups. We'll be more balanced but it won't really feel like it...moderation with a twist! lol oh my god I need to sleep, getting a little crazy over here.
I'm sorry you had such a crummy weekend with Raw. The important thing is that you didn't role over and die, but stood right back up and are back to raw foods! I'm telling you something you already know lol, but it is oh so very true.
I go to school at Wash U in St. Louis, but my famdamily is in Cincinnati. You're at Miami, right? That is pretty close I think (?), I will be home sometime in October, November for Thanksgiving, and over Christmas break, clearly. Sometimes I just randomly go home too, it would be awesome to meet you guys, seriously it would be so much fun.
Sounds like you are going to have a good weekend! Hopefully we both won't have to come back here Monday and tell each other about the horrible things we ate while inebriated, haha.
