heh... finally have some time so had the need to drop a few fine lines here..
i'm doing great, have some problems with lack of appetite. ..massive one i might add. i do work a lot physically and do study hard and i really do not want to loose my weight. i had ed a while back... acctually dragged it around for years, but since going raw last spring, for the first time i really felt unity and happiness within myself.
knowing all that i feel like i should definitly listen to my body and not eat until i'm hungry, but trouble is that lately i just don't feel hunger at all. 
to simplify this is how i usually spend my days...
i wake up at 5am .... drink lots of water ( 1-1.5 L)
5-8 am 1 hour of each : asanas (physical exercise), pranayam (breathing exercise) and meditation.
8-8.30 jogg with my dog
8.30 usually gs ( chard and 2-3 nanas)  or  juice (carrots and peach, plum whaterver handy  )... lately just water
9.am - 17 pm studying ... have few brakes to go for a ride with my bike... just water
17.pm watermelon or honeydew
17.30-18 jogg
18.-20. yoga class 4 days a week and babisitting my adorable neece 2 days a week
around 21 dinner - simple salad ...  ( hooked on toms with onion , or  zucchini with garlic and mature coconut.... stmes i add a bit of ccnut to toms as well - i treat it as fat  )
22  til midnight studying.... half an hour biking and then go to sleep

once a week i go to in the mountains for whole day, but eat the same...

so...do i really eat to little   should i go opposite of what i feel in my body, and 'force miself to eat br, lunch and dinner ?  any help would be much appreciated ... i'm 1,64 cm tall weight about 50 kilos... mostly muscles...  so i look like  bones well covered with good lean muscles 
i do not feel good after nuts and seeds so i eat them rarelly...

wow... i feel so energetic these last few days!!! perhaps it has something to do with a brand new toy i've got...
 ta-da... it's called  http://[color=pink][font=Verdana]'j u i c e r'[/font][/color]   
as far as i can remember i was never much of a juice fan, but heeh things do change 
had  1,5 l of carrot, peach & celery ambrosia when i woke up, today ( well 3 hours after acctually cuz i exercise first)... it felt soooooo good!
i feel like i can climb on the top of the world now best thing is that i've been on my bike all day yesterday and 8 hours today, and i dont feel a bit tired or exhausted.
fruit does amase me every time...
havent tried juicing greens jet, but will do it later .  must go now - group of 15 beautiful eldrely women is waiting to start surya namaskar

wow stine that's so cool! can i came along ?
i'm having trouble with european/ mediteranian winter... in fact i have problem with winter in general
so leaving at fall would be just fine for me
i'm not much of a planner though... last friday i went to the market but ended 600 km away visiting a good friend of mine.... and his gorgeus fig tree

yes  RGG, i did post here about a year ago , so nice of you to remember..  that's raw memory heh 

anyhoo.. funny thing just happened - i was looking for a job yesterday, and among tones of mostly boring jobs there was add for one at  the juice bar ( it's called 100% liquid health  -  i like that name a lot)... they are not raw ( jet  ), but they serve only fruit's and veggies soups, juices etc.. so, keep you fingers crossed for me on monday ... who would say that after finishing law at the university ( well, i've got 6 exams left... not many, but hard ones)  i wanna  work with friuts and veggies.. he-he life realy is full of surprises..

well, back to reality.. i had best watermelon for 'breakfast'... and was wondering if you guys also have those triks when buying them - hollow sound, dry 'tail', tiny dot on the other side of ' tail'.....
 

must dash now,
xxxx

thanks a bunch guys!
yes, nudgy, the point wasn't about yoga ... i mean - i do yoga for 15 years and all the time she had same attitude.. cuz yoga is something you do on your own and in solitude ( at least pranayam and meditation) or with people who already have that interest... it's introspective . but when it comes to food it's deffinitly something we like to do in company - there's nothing better than share fantastic meal with a bunch of people .. big meal that is
i guess that choosing nutrients is just more visible way to express ourselves. it's easier  and simpler way to show our believes and thougths

may, you are so wonderfull! that's so right what you said.. i, too, feel like a family member here...

anyhow, must rush now... lovely shopping to make - my sister is comming for dinner so i must make sthing yummy  -  lucky for me that preparing  of raw meal is so easy and fast ... not to mention yummy i think i'll make those tasty zucchini-garlic spagetti... it's absolute winner -  i had it 3 times in 5 days.. he-he  (thanks may)   

loads of happiness and health to everyone

i couldnt sleep last night, so i had a little retrospective of my life. was thinking about how everything has changed soo much since descovering raw. it's been a year or few mnths more since i start living, and even with mostly unraw winter, i have changed trumendously... even my friends and family, and people that i daily meet changed radicaly . like my mum for example ( we live in the same house but in separete flats)... she was always japping about my interest in yoga  (stop doing irrelevant things... focus yrself on sthing usefull.etc.)... but next monday my dear mum is having her first yoga class .... hopefully with a gs in her stomach 
at first, when you say you are raw to someone it sounds so radical and (mostly) people treat you as a freak, but eventualy they will start thinking of themselves, of theirown wellbeeing each time they see you (especially if you have sthing, raw and yummy in your mouth .. so that means always  )
i just think of RAW as of a beautifull lamp in darkest night - shining so brightly, and giving us warmth, welcome and wisdom. 
it may sound a bit  , but even if raw food isn't  exposed to high temperature ( obviosly  )
it is by itself so full of warmth, so full of love  and so full of strength with which nature has created it for us.
i just wanted to shere these thougths with ya .. cuz i know winter is heading in your direction...

so thank you, my dear raw friends for beeing here, beeing so inspirational and for all the posts that are so full of optimism and power of life. i did google a lot for other raw places as well, but here i fell  so blessed... and best . perhaps cuz your site was the first one i ran into (and as they say - you cant go from horse to a donkey) and a place that gave me thinking...  your vibe is really something special.

sorry, i do not know where to do that test .. but just wanted to agree with mrD.
i think that health can't be acchieved overnight... it's a processs...and i cant think of any better way - than raw way  - to acchieve it in the fastest possible time. by health i mean  both physical and mental health - to be strong and stabile.. being  able to deal with all the things life puts infront of you ... on the other hand i can understand your worry, cuz when it comes to kids we are all much more sensitive and suspicious  ... i'm a bit sceptic about any tests or x levels measuring cuz  we are all individuals, not to mention that results shows just temporary state   -  i dont have them myself ...   
anyway, i hope everything will be ok and i wish you lots of healh.. and lots of  raw b12 

hello, my dear long distance friends!
well after not so raw winter, first warm days and sun woke my mind up and i'm back in lovely fast raw track,  eating totaly raw for almost 2 wonderfull mnths.  I hope that you are all happy, healthy and decadent ( don't know why but i just looove that word... )
well, im great, but this little problem gives me headacke -
i should go through class of internal intestines cleaning next weekend - it is done by drinking lightly warm ,salty water which goes through you, does the inner pilling of the intestines and goes out  down through .. well,down (not sure if any word is alowed , so ..) . anyway, point is that you flush out all ( or most) of bacterias that lives in your gt and for a week after  one must be very carefull on what to eat ...  it is advised to eat  only cooked food  because of eventual minor scratches (that can occure during cleanse) and a week is enough time for your intestines to recover..
i have no idea what to do cuz after all the fun , when everything is out,  you should eat  rice and mugo dahl cooked together - it acts like a paste that covers your intestines and keeps them from sticking to one another.. it also promotes healing of eventual scratch...
the man who lead the course said that bananas  are ok  on 3rd, ev. 2nd day, but raw greens are to be avoided for a week or even two ( cuz of bacterias that are very hard to wash out .. - not sure what to say on that cuz i dont wash greens so carefuly and nothing ever happened, but not sure how it would be when all my bacterias go away...) so, any advice is very very welcome

btw. i like your new name suay... a lot
i hope you'll change it legaly, too.  i did namechange recently, myself ( bindu ) , and even though it seemed just like birocracy and sthing very boring, annoing and complicated process, there's no word to discribe the emotion when you see your 'new' name on your id or credit card ... (not to stare in it and think wow, that's me , but those accidental situations when you see it) 


well, i wish you all loads of happiness, health and love from across the globe... and please  do drop any advice upon above
thanks

i'm not really into recipes and measuring ..  i find them so hard to follow cuz food is sooo inspirational by itself.. but , anyway, this is what Fig, the Chef made ...
 
the base        almonds,
                  sesame and sunflower seeds, 
                  raisins 
... (aprox. 1 cup nuts, 1 cup seeds, 2c. raisins) just blend everything together  ...

topping        carob ...the more the better 
                  wheat sprouts
                  2-3 bananas                      -  blend together
       and stir in
                grated coconut ( or almonds if you like them better)
                and bit more sprouts

fruit        5-6 peaches thinly sliced and sprinkeled with juice of 1 orange
              cup or two of blackberries


soo... put the base in a cake form,
add half of  topping, then half of fruit ..and again topping and finaly fruit on top
it looks beautiful, but tastes even better!!!

it's finished in no time

...luckily i had a big bowl full of figs as second dessert cuz the cake disapeared in seconds .. 

thanks everybody       !!!!
i am  definitly  enjoying every second of  this magical and rawliscious day 
... no need to mention the happiness of my elbows 
THE cake  -my precious firstborn was a blast!!!!

tnx DR! soo inspirational... i guess i'll have to eat nothing but cakes for few days  to discover the  winner

i'm having birthday party next weekend ... so, i obviously need a cake... 
any suggestions?  i'm not much of a sweet tooth, but i do want to impress my non raw vegan friends  ... you never know when someone will fall in love with raw ...
..if possible something without using  dehydrator..
... hm.. of course  ..the simpler the better
tnx very, very much 

well, hello, hello! i hope you've missed me ... but it's over with that now  .. cuz  I'M  finally BACK HOME  ! my summer vacation is over (for a while that is ) ..  and i had time of my life.. that's for sure 
so.... where should i start... i guess i could say simply... hooray! best  90  days of my life  .. so far...
anyway, i enjoyed my vacation A LOT!! i've  mooved to my summer house at sea.. acctually it's in the forest at the end of a small village 7 km away from the sea (sounds like a  farytale  ).. and i've simply  blossomed there ! it was fantastic.. everything that a nature has to offer is there - small lake in the village, mountains that are closing the valley, forrest all around, sea not that far away.... everything.... and  without  city noise, just plain music of nature - crickets, birds, bees... heaven!!  i wasn't there for years, so you can only imagine my excitement when i saw how many fig trees was there!!!!! and all of them  full of that  dark, sweet, juicy .. well, my favorite food  ( i'm sure  no one would guess  ) 
it was realy something... after birds weak you up, you go for a looong walk ,then you pick breakfast right from the tree.. or even on the tree ..depending on the appetite  ... then ciclyng to the beach..... diving, swimming.... i realy can't describe how beautiful it was and how good it felt
that month and a half passed to quickly that's for sure ! but, now i'm back home... preparing exams.. rawing constantly..... and loving you all A LOT!
..... almost forgot.. the ebook is awesome... and the new page design , too!!!

hello! i'm still alive 
just went out of town for a while... actually i was in my summer house at sea... house is in woods though... wonderfull - no electricity though 
anyway... about yoga - i do 'yoga in daily life' system and i think there are yidl programs in austalia and new z. too -  i've met few australians at yoga seminar in czech republic last summer
