Guest guest Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 Well, late yesterday (around 5pm) i decided to go RAW! I know this isn't much of an accomplishment yet... seeing how it's not even 24 hours yet but i am just REALLY excited about it! I had about 20 oz water with a tablespoon raw organic apple cider vinegar when i woke up... then a bit later i did some yoga, then had 3 mangos and chatted on the phone a bit and then showered. I went to town and got a juice later (more because i am a bit fearful of hunger right now)... it was yummy -- carrot, cucumber, ginkgo(sp?) & ginger-- and bought some raw nuts (almonds and hazelnuts). Going to soak them and make milk, just soaking half at a time though for now... until i see how long things last me. I weighed today... 260 on the nose. 15 minutes of light, easy yoga had my heart rate up and got me feeling a bit wore out! So, i am REALLY out of shape but i do have to start somewhere. I hope to find some REALLY new-to-raw people to do this with and some seasoned vets to guide me when i stumble. peace nikki ps... sorry if you get this more than once, i mailed it to 3 lists sort of scouting for newbies ) --- Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 Great luck sent your way. I have been at the 80% and falling since August. I am planning a trip in April to go stay with someone else interested in raw foods, and I plan on making all kinds of recipes from all my books and also figure out what my twin 2yos will eat, come home and go 100% after I get home. I am ready but when you spend all day with kids and can't get them to eat like you, you flop. So I am hoping a vacation with grandma and then back home will make them open up more, but I definitely want to stick this time. I'd love your updates to see how well you do. Keep it up, sounds great. Melissa goodkarma <karmacharmer wrote:Well, late yesterday (around 5pm) i decided to go RAW!

I know how exhuberant I've been on my first day raw, countless times in the past ten years. Those times, like this one, is always going to be the time when I stay raw forever. Happy trails.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2004 Report Share Posted March 11, 2004 Hey Nikki, I just went shopping for raw stuff for the first time today. So I'm here with ya! My biggest obstacle is that I need to find a place to buy raw nuts. Let me know how you're doing. Ariana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
