hi all,
thanks dani - i cant wait to get to perth 1 month 1 say 20 hours lol!!
not such a good day today but i have stayed firm. the headache turned to migrane. wasnt particularly happy with that especially when the nausea hit but i am sure its all part of the detox too. so i made the logical decision not to go to work as i could barely move without being ill. have perked up a little now - made a gs and added quite a lot of pineapple - was awesome and now munching on my second orange and starting to feel a little better but my head is still killing me so i will keep this brief. am dowing as much water as i can - and surprisingly water is seeming to grow with taste!
ciao ciao for now

Hi all,
Thanks May for you guidance on the water lol i do believe i am regaining some tastebuds!!
yes i cant stand being apart from ben... it is incredibly hard and is getting harder each time i or he visit each other. expecially since we are just growing closer every second as our relationship continues. i dont know how much closer we can get besides the geological issue lol
I had a dreadful day ... i actually thought my head was going to explode and have had to crack it on the head with some major pain killers. thankfully i had a back appointment and the 9 things out of place in my neck was certainly a factor in the migrane. My chiro was over the moon about my decision to add raw to my life and was sucking my brains on the limited knowledge i have learnt so far. the head has settle a little and i have managed to stay raw until my tiny 1/2 cup of vanilla yoghurt. i think milk products are going to give me my biggest battle lol. coming off a dairy farm i just love milk in any way shape or form and cheese is one of my favorite things. i've been looking at a lot of the recipes and there seem to be a lot of alternatives but any tips on which are the fabbiest ones would be great.
anyway going to have a real quiet night tonight and nibble on some mango. yummmm
love

I'm so sorry to hear about your migraine Kat.  Sometimes the old comfort foods are the hardest to kick, but you only had a little, well done!  My dad was a milkman for some years and I helped out milking the cows - we had lots of dairy foods too.  My mum's family had always been cheese addicts and in doing my family history I found a cheese merchant about 4 generations back.  Interesting!!!

I'm pleased to hear the chiro not only helped you but was keen to learn more.  That's fantastic.  You're never too 'young' to recruit

Re recipes, for me, I am finding that except for green smoothies (which took me a long time to master) I prefer my food plain.  A plate of salad has been far more enjoyable to me that most of the recipes I've tried.  But I'm a notoriously bad cook so that might have more to do with it than the recipes themselves.  Others will advise you too I'm sure, but at this point in time that is definitely my take on things.  Fruit and veg as they were meant to be, except for a little dressing which sometimes is a mainstream version.  Though I saw Neet's salad dressing yesterday which sounds incredibly better than anything on the supermarket shelves!!!  1 mango blended with lemon juice, if I may quote you RGG?

All the best with your wonderful new journey Kat,
May

dear speedy,
love the idea re:cheese will let you know how i go. yes i think i am patting myself on the back as i am under a range of pressure from all sorts of areas in my life. but i can already see the positive impact this will have in my life as i nurture what i should have nurtured a long time ago. i delved a little into this in your journey post.
its amazing - i talk to ben everynite on webcam and even though i have only been drinking smoothies for a week (started before i took the forum plunge) but ben said he can already see the difference in my face and skin. i also noticed in some of the health and beauty threads that some people have problems with their long hair. well my hair has been fowl the last 3 months and the last 2 washes has seen it rejuvinate tenfold - can only be this lovely fruit and veg flowing around me - as thats the only change!!
anyway going to take neets advice and rest up now
love

Hey Kat, welcome to the forum 

 I was born at 27 weeks!  And im still here alive and kickin' ! 

Much love and luck to your friend and gorgeous new baby 

hi all,
another day of raw!! so proud of myself!! had to really push myself through school and told the little rugrats that i had a very bad head and they needed to be kind to me. lol suprisingly enough they were!! who said little ones dont have empathy!
got a good 8 hours sleep last night and i havent had 8 hours in about 2 years. lets just hope that i can do that without a migraine. but i think its promising! I cant believe that i am not craving my coffee!! a teacher that doesnt drink coffee?? unheard of lol but im doing it! its so handy having the little fridge in the classroom. Had a lovely lot of watermelon, rockmelon, grapes and carrots for recess and had got up and made this awesome salad with RGG's amazing recipe for salad dressing. even the kids said that it looked wonderful. did come home early from school after they went home because the head is so much better but still not 100%. so im sitting back munching on pineapple and apples. yum.

fruitypie - thank you for your kind words. i would like to think that i am a good friend - i know i do get really drained from people sometimes and i have learnt the hard way the need to eliminate friendships that are detrimental to you when the people involved have no intention of changing themselves for the better. i guess i have always just thought the best of people and that if you call someone a friend then they could not possibly be detrimental. i had the choice to either make my life better or basically end up back where i started 3yrs ago in intensive care and i just didnt want that. so slowly as i have regained my confidence and my life i have just made change after change. keeping the energised loving people around me.

oh forgot to mention that the weekend will be spent composting the earth outside my classroom as (already had programmed for it at the start of the year) our class is going to be growing a herb garden to care for. i love growing things with the children and they love it too. any suggestions of really quick growing ones? we wont be planting till later on in the year.

anyway time to do some more learning from the equisite people in this site.

love
