Spring is nearly here yaaay... We're so excited about this that we have decided to reduce the prices on two of our most popular books. 80 10 10 by Doug Graham and Green For Life by Victoria Boutenko. These book will be at greatly reduced prices until sold out! Have fun.
Missed posting a few days.....today is day 6 (I think) Will make this a super quick post cos I got to head out the door...been having a lot of smoothies and fresh fruit and salads...slipped up a little yesterday with some "other" cooked, was so hungry and teeth made it hard to chew, so ate some soft cooked food, never mind, I have been going really well besides that, and I dont know if I have said or not, but I DONT want to be 100% raw, but very bery high raw...I still enjoy steamed veggies and soups...which I beleive there are just some veggies that cant be digested properly raw...eg, broccolli, pumpkin....and I love seeds and grains...
Been having quite a few smoothies...here are the BEST ones so far...
Frozen bananas cacao powder water
and this one...
Frozen bananas blueberries water
And I know it is early in the morning, but here is a pic of my sad teeth...LOL
Gorgeous Goddess, thats awesome, your hubby is a great man for saying that to you...just what you needed to hear. I am so happy for you and him, its inspiring and motivational when you can work together for a great cause...namely health!!...gosh you two must be so hot together!!..LOL Phew!
Nope dont have a tramp, would love to get one some day...have looked at them most longingly...they look like fun and fantastic exercise.
My teeth...well, still the same. As a child I always had very poor teeth, lack of nutrition and sometimes no food, caused my teeth to crumble into fine powder even at age 12...I distinctly remember sitting in class, and idly chewing on a pencil, listening to the teacher, when suddenly my back molar crumbled into fine powder...like a calcium tablet. I grew up with missing and rotten teeth, ashamed to smile... That all changed when special man from church whom is a dentist, as a wedding gift, patched up my teeth 10 years ago, so now, going back to being ashamed of my mouth and with a huge gaping hole in the front...is a hard thing. Dont know how we will find the extra $ for what needs to be done, and I feel guilty for more financial burdens on my family cause of this, But I have faith that things will work out, God has never left me desperate, He has ALWAYS inspired people to help in different situations, has somehow given me and my family what we need in the right time. Little miracles happen very frequently each day. I have faith that my teeth will be fixed somehow and by some means. This I know to be true, and so I feel comforted in a way. I am not saying God made my teeth fall out...no, it is all about timing... Gods perfect timing, EVERYTHING that happens in life happens for a purpose, at exactly the right time when we need to learn something or help someone or teach someone or even when we meet someone, whom we talk to in the street, how we treat eachother, all has a ripple effect that goes on eternally what we do today, will effect tomorrow and so forth...life is a big huge lesson, there are so many opportunities for growth and a deeper more richer life experience if we are open to the lessons being taught, and use them as a stepping stone...thats what I feel anyway.
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labour or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendour was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? ...But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself." - Matthew 6:25-34
Love you

Dearest Jen, just got your message...I have to turn it into positve...and count it as a learning expereince, I was thinking, ...I have been praying to have control and wisdom in eating, to gain self restraint and not use food as an emotional tool, to become healthy...for God to show and teach me how....and this happens, this is the PERFECT, opportunity for me to develop these things I have been asking to be added to me...God will never just give us a gift, but through situations, will help us develop...and also has given me the opportunity to have more compassion for those whom, live like this each day. I am greatful...sounds strange, but I am.
I might post a pic of my teeth...just for fun!! LOL
Love ya
HAHAHA, Pinky was about to post and there you are! Thankyou darling for your gentle words, I know having another child will happen, and if not, well I have been looking into foster caring...so either way, I WILL have more children!
The soup was yummy, I slightly warmed it on the stove to take the fridge chill out of it.
WOW, so many positive replys, thankyous and kisses and hugs all your way...MWAH XXX
Sanghama, I know, the exercise will fall into place soon enough at the perfect time, just how it was meant to be, I have so much happening right now...life will let me know. Thankyou for your support my love!
Pinky I have loved reading your gentle encouragement around the forum, I know I can always count on you for a listening ear and understanding heart...and you too have done so well with your eating...well done my sweet, aint it great when we work together in love and support!
My beautiful Goddess, your man is so wonderful, and you are such a great example to him...he wouldnt be where he is now, eat'in raw and gettin fit and trim, if it were not for your prime example and love... I know simplicity is the key...sometimes the Food artist in me just wants to rip into those gourmet recipies and create magic...which is fine, just not everyday hey...WHOA digestion probs!! I know fasting is great for the body, like once a week, will give it a go when I feel the need... love you XXX
Freelea..I agree and you are a perfect example for me to follow, thankyou for your PM, will write you soon. XXX
Jen your friendship and love can be felt accross the land right here to Adelaide, I think of you often and have warm feelings in my heart, thinking of how fortunate I am to have your friendship in my life...I love you babe!
Well, having no teeth has actually been a "blessing" LOL...today I couldnt chew anything and so had very simple and healthy foods!....east way to loose weight...loose your teeth first!!!
Woke up and got the kiddies off to school and kindy, came home and made a heavenly smoothie...
Simply spinnach and 4 ripe lady finger bananas, not too much water so the flavour was strong banana...and oh so creamy...someone stole it.....
...hehe cute eh!
For lunch...the homemade breadroll that I made for the kiddes looked very appealing, forgetting about my teeth I grabbed on and tried to take a bit...LOL...no luck, ....looked around at the apples, and made this....
4 grated apples...cos I cant chew em whole...boohoo cinnamon and organic sultanas...thats it
Dinner tonight...
Simple soup of half a juiced celery bunch 6 tomatoes...this is the soup... then added fine chopped red capsicum, tomato, spring onion and corriander...thats it, no salt or oil.
Also sucked the juice out of 3 tangellos, had 1 avocado and 3 huge bananas....and thats my day!
Oh thought you might like to see my salad from yesterday...its very pretty....
Thankyou to my beautiful brother for calling me today...I love you Sacha, you lifted my spirits.
much love to you all, so completes my 4th day...and was RAW!!!!!
Love BB XXX
ps, I have an appointment at the dentist on friday.....aarrgghhh a whole week to wait...I wonder what lessons I will learn form this experience?...Oh and got my thingys today...sheeshhhhh, my body is so out of whack.
My idea if the challenge was to do my best at 100 days raw...not 100% raw, working up to high raw and being accountable to others is great motivation.
Yesterday was day 3 of my challenge...heres what I had...
4 Tangellos 1 banana whole head of butter lettuce with tomato, spring onion, and avocado balls piece of raw pie I made the other day bread roll home made 1 raw biscuit
Even though there is a cooked bread roll in there, what I ate for the whole day is better than wat I have been eating.
no exercise...as yet
have a great day everyone
XXX BB
Thankyou everyone for you love and support...and Lou and Sacha...I send you a massive hug, thankyou.
I will continue in my journal, but poop into this thread everyday to see how everyone is going. Looks like I will be doing a lot of juicing and smoothies with too few teeth to chew anything ...oh well, I will be the best with what I have.

AArrghhhhhhh bad bad night...3...yes three teeth fell out in one night, totally weird, two very front teeth and a back molar...awful nightmare coming true, and...my period is over 1 week late, day 40 now, and negative home preg test...I feel sick in my stomach, dont know whats up with my body right now...
Pinky, I would love you to join me...in fact feel free anyone to join in on the action!
Yesterday I went pretty well! I brought a few pieces of fruit at the fruit shop to keep munching on at work...
3 tangellos...loving these at the moment 2 bananas 1 punnet strawberries and 2 apples...
around lunchtime I was hungry, all the orders kept coming in...and they started to look yummy...eek, time to eat, my sister made me a salad roll with heaps of fresh salad, no dressings, or fats...I thought this was much better than eating some chips or other things on the menu!
Came home and ate a few more tangellos, bananas and dineer was some of the pie I made the other night.
I need to drink heaps more water though...hardly had a drop all day...and time to think about exercise!
Crust: 1 cup walnuts 1 cup oats (dont know if thats raw...I choose to remain ignorant) 3/4 dried coconut 1 cup sultanas 1-2 tbs PURE coconut oil pinch salt just under halfcup honey or agave sprinkle cinnimon and nutmeg
Process till crumbly and moist, will stick together when pressed into a pan.
Icing:
3/4 cup cashews (or 1/2 cup organic unhulled tahini...but then not totally raw)
1/4 cup raw cacao powder 4 tbs honey or agave pinch salt
blend till smoothe and creamy, top onto pie...chill in fridge for an hour...if you can wait!
Been feeling like crap lately, eating cooked food and expanding around the hips...trying to keep high raw, but not finding much motivation to keep it up. I was going to do another juice feast, but knew it wasnt my time. I have had to be resourceful of late, making my own things from scratch, simple homey cooked...and sometimes going wthout fresh produce... the things I needed, I could not forage...so made home baked and home made foods for the family...my hips loved the chance to bung on a few kgs!
Good thing is we are ALL missing having raw foods...even hubby been feeling sick lately from too much cooked...(this is great!)
Woke up this morning and had a choice to spend our last few dollars on cooked food, (dont worry we get paid next week) that wouldnt see us through the weekend or just begin again high raw for family and raw for me... so I spent $30 on a huge bunch of spinnach, bananas, cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, carrots, strawberries, broccolli and red capsicum...then went off and foraged a huge box of fresh manderines!
I searched deep into the cupboards and came up with a few goodies...put on my thinking cap and came up with this...
Grab onto your seats...this will blow your socks off!
Its a RAW Anzac biscuit pie thing with chocolate icing!
