Lulu you are such a wonderful example of rawness. Well done on the last nearly two months. What are your raw food goals for the future?

xoxoxoxo

Help Help!!! Lulu- over here!!

A survivor gulps and splutters, coming up for air only to be pulled under again by the water....

Seriously though, I'm still here, still being "more raw than before", just doing it quietly. I think it's fantastic that you are so close to the 60 days, go Lulu!!!

Hi everyone else too. I've been away, had sick kids, and then I have been totally involved in planning and then beginning on the path to my fantastic New Simple Life-

homegrown food;
moving from consumer to conserver;
taking up the knitting needles again;
enjoying more moments during the day;
only going into town to grab bulk supplies;
cooking from scratch (for the rest of the family- myself sometimes too);
gardening;
reading;
learning;
playing;
watching my house become a home;
in short, really LIVING!!

Take care everyone,

Love Fairy XOXOXO

Im still here reading all the progress.

Ive been probs 95% raw and loving it. Successfully sprouted rice that was ready to eat today, unfortunately the chewy texture isnt to mine or hubbies liking.

Well done to all still going, your all superstars 

Mermaids, lol, I like that.

Brrrrrrrrrrrr, too cold in that water today so I'll stay 100% thank you.  Day 56 now, not long on this challenge to go.  Can we start a thread just called 'personal challenges' or 'the meeting place' or something probably better than that cos I think I'll miss you all after this.

Just had a smoothie today and a warmed up green tea, it's really cold wet and windy today, my nose is still all congested too and I'm still not feeling like eating much.  I'll post what I've had in my journal.

Take care ladies.

Ahh Lulu, so sweet about the new thread idea since we have been a little family for each other here.  I loved the support I got and did accomplish some good successes.  The fast was a bit of an experiment for me in that I learned that my metabolism is ok and that I was doing emotional eating.  I also released some old emotions which was phenomenal.  I saw that once I ate food, I would then often not exercise because the food was doing the grounding.  I saw this before, but it was totally obvious since the fast.  I then ate too much and screwed up on my original goal here with being 100%.  I know being 100% doesn't totally matter, but for me in my healthful practices, it does.  I want to be very healthy to then be able to introduce a little non-raw steamed veg. or something after I have become proficient in very healthy habits. 

In retrospect, maybe it just happened the way it was supposed to because I am a work in progress.  I needed to see these tendencies and really come to terms with my own power.  I don't want to feel powerless anymore about myself.  About others, well, that's another story because of their free wills, but as for me, shoot, I think it's time to really show myself what I can do.  So, I started my own personal journal in the journal section.  All of your input from this thread is welcome there because I really respect you lovely ladies.  I feel we share certain similarities also.  I have wanted to give more shout outs to you and others in your personal journals, but I have really been working on gaining myself in my focus.  It doesn't mean that I'm not thinking positive thoughts toward you all.

Thanks for everything.
Love,
Theresa

  :ohyeah:60 DAYS TODAY, YEH!!!!

Ok people, this is day 60 of my 60 days challenge to be raw and I have just about completed it.  A few more hours and I'm done.

I'm amazed and also very thankful that I have done this, something I've never been able to do before yet something I want to continue doing hopefully for the rest of my life.

I have enjoyed being in this challenge with other wonderful ladies and I now make my departure from the Love Boat, thank you everyone for your encouragement and company on this lovely adventure. 

Take care everyone, I'll still be keeping up my journal and I'm making another challenge for myself for the next month, to exercise at least four times a week for at least 30mins each time as this is something I have'nt really got into just yet.

Ok, bye now

Congratulations Lulu!!        

A little something you said in a post lately:

" ... when I was a vego, it felt right, not hard at all.  When I was vegan, after a while it also felt right and natural so it was never an effort to stay that way so I want that same comfortable feeling when I eat raw."

This struck a chord with me- it's about taking baby steps, being comfortable and just taking another little step again. This is what I tend to NOT do! So that's what I'm working on right now. Thanks for sharing!

Love rawfairylady
