You had a great day yesterday...well done!

DOnt worry too much about your weight, just keep eating the way you are and it will soon just drop off and you will become you ideal shape and size...and some exercise will get you tonned and firm.

For dry skin, coconut oil is fantastic and also olive and almond oils..massage every day all over after showering...you will as soft as a baby bottom!

I try not to eat anything in the morning until i have drunk 500-1 litre of water/tea (herbal, sundried)
Also helps if you dont eat anything till you have a BM of yesterdays foods....but thats just me!

heres to another good day xoxo

Berrybliss, you are a hive of information,  I suffer from psoriasis, uuummmmm how do I put that and make it a positive?Huh  I am healing myself from psoriasis which gets very dry and itchy especially in the cool windy weather, as soon as my oil arrives I'm going to try putting some on and also taking a tbls daily to see if this helps along with eating raw of course.  It may take time but I'm sticking this one out til...... forever.

You are a wonderful, caring person and I send you loving vibes (((((()))))))

This is day 15 on my journey, this morning I had two green smoothies, banana, blueberries and half bad of baby spinach, James loved this too.  Lunch, 4 crackers with avo and tom and a banana.

Last week hubby was given 15 avos straight from the tree, they are now ripening nicely and they are so creamy, don't look great on the outside but wow they are tasty.  One avo would probably last me two - three days so I don't eat that many at all, I wonder if I eat more avo and less nuts it may be a good change.

My dd comes home from camp today, I've missed my lovely young lady and will be so happy to see her again.  She will probably stink because the camp was a 'rough it' type of thing, you know, leave all the luxuries at home, two changes of clothes, no showers etc.  hee hee, probably do her the world of good.  I know I've had a lot less washing this week, lol.

Stocked up on my nuts and seeds again today, could only get cacao nibs and not powder, anyone know the best was to get them to powder form.  I don't have a mortar and pessle?  Would the coffee grinder I use for flax work ok?

Ok, take care all, my little one is asleep with his little truck, awww how cute, bye.

Oh how lovely a big stash of avos, I was lucky to stock up last week at 39 cents each but I have eaten them all and now they are back up to $1.69 each... never mind.

Yes I think your coffee grinder should work fine for grinding those nibs...

Day 16

3 x Smoothies, banana, blueberry, coconut milk - sooooooooo nice (about 1/2 blender jug)
2" piece raw choc fudge
Lunch was 5 x crackers with avo and tomato
banana
2 x dates
2 x brazil nuts
1/2 apple (large)
2" piece raw choc fudge
Dinner was green salad with guacamole stuffed mushrooms (dinner plate equivalent to both my hands - they are not too big)
Drank about 2ltrs water (weather was cold today)

I found out my water jug was 3 ltrs not 2 ltrs so I've been drinking more than I thought, yeh cos I thought I wasn't drinking enough.  It's hard to drink alot on a cold day, makes me run to the toilet all day.

Thought I would just mention some sizes today because everyone uses different size plates etc so it gives a better idea, my plates are not huge at all and I get them that way on purpose so that the kids never overate as they like their plates full.  Hubby on the otherhand has a huge plate, lol.

I have 2-3 smoothies in the morning like a breakfast, I have it about 1.5 hours after getting up usually, at about 7.00am.

Hello all, today is 18 days already, wow.  Thanks jen, I tend to eat quite plain compared to others I think, but I like it.

Green smoothies x 2 this morning and some trail mix later at about 10.00am.  Feeling a little hungry today, got my monthly yesterday so that's probably why.

Yesterday I had smoothie (waaaaaa only got one) which I had to share with the whole family.
banana
two nori salad rolls with left over guacamole
some nuts and sultanas
dinner was mixed salad, quite plain but it's just what I felt like and I really enjoyed it.

Stuck inside most of the weekend due to the rain, I hope it stops for a while now, at least in my area.

Back again, been quite busy the last couple of days, still 100% and this is day 20 so I'm really pleased and grateful that I am enjoying this soooo much.

Have been eating quite plain, more avocados than normal because they are all ripe and need eating, lol, luckily they are only small ones hey.  Skin seems to be a bit smoother now but I keep breaking out in odd places which is a pain.  My nails look nice and pink and my eyes seem clearer.  Ear is still blocked but not as bad, can't wait for this one to go. 

Daughter came back from camp and on Sunday asked if she could go back to vegetarian because she just felt better, that's wonderful, three kids down, two to go.  My second son thinks it's a conspiracy, lol.

There's just something about the light in Autum, I just love it.  Ok, got heaps to do today, probably have crackers with guacamole for lunch.

Yesterday I had the best grapes I've had in a long time, so juicy and sweet, now I want more.

Ok, bye now

Green smoothie
handful of nuts
6 x crackers with avo and tom
1/2 jug cacao smoothie
lots water
Dinner will be salad with pesto stuffed mushrooms,yum.


Ok, gtg start dinner for everyone and get washing of line, lol.

Ooooooo I haven't been here for a few days, I've posted in 60 days raw so that's ok.

Today I had no smoothie, waaaaaa, had to go shopping for supplies.  Down town I grabbed a juice to keep me going til later.

Handful of nuts
two nori rolls for lunch
Banana
apple (beautiful)
half mandarin to clean out fudge bowl, yummmmm
Dinner will be garden salad with guacamole.

Yes, I made some more fudge today, lol, it's delicious, I must try not to make is so good, lol.  I actually managed to get to the farmers' market today before everything was gone, yeh, got some lovely apples, mandarins, zuccini, spinach (the big stuff) and some lovely oranges.  Next week I'll do my shopping on Friday so I can go to the market earlier on Saturday.

Started to get another headache at about 11.00am today but it disappeared after I ate my lunch, have tried to drink lots of water too.  Didn't really sleep well last night.

On a lighter note, I'm still 100% and feeling pretty good, this is day 23.

Ok thanks for reading and bye for now

Hi there, not feeling great today, started to feel feverish early evening yesterday, sneezing, headiness and hot.  Woke up this morning not feeling much better, must be detox as I don't hang out with sick people so I've not caught anything from anyone.

Yesterday I had my weekly coconut fix, hee hee, smoothie with banana, blueberries and coconut juice and some spinach.  Handful of nuts, five flax crackers with tom and avo, banana, mandarin and for dinner green salad with zuccini pasta and marinara sauce, made a little differently this time and it was spicy, but nice.

Today I've had lots of green smoothie (just over half a jug), water and some fudge, lol.  Whoever invented raw chocolate, they have alot to answer for, lol, well at least it stops any desire for cooked.

It's hot here today, beautiful.  We planted some more lettuce yesterday so I'm hoping Jnr won't  run over it, I keep asking dh to put up a fence but he says it's not practical where the garden is at present so we might look into moving the garden on a gradual basis.  James runs through it, picking cherry toms and feeding them to the dog, lol.  Whenever I see some red ones I have to sneak out before he sees me to pick them for us.

Ok people, going to see if I can get a little rest today and I'm really not feeling too good, take care and bye for now

Day 27 - Oh boy, I keep thinking today is Tues but it's Wednesday, lol  shrug 

Monday

Lunch - 5 x crackers with avo and tom
apple
banana
pineapple juice with blueberries
Garden salad

Tues

Green Smoothie
Green Tea (warmed)
5 x crackers with avo and tom
pineapple juice with blueberries
Pesto on mushrooms with salad for dinner

Wed

Cacao smoothie
Fudge bowl wiped out with mandarin  ohyeah
small piece of fudge, lol
carrot juice
tomato/carrot soup, yum, for lunch

Made my first nut butter yesterday using brazil nuts, I'm shocked how easy it was.  Made my first raw soup today adapted from Berrybliss' recipe in her journal... my was

soak water from dates (used to make fudge)
1/2 cup carrot juice
spring onion
1 tomatoe

all blended together and a sprinkle of nutmeg and an ever so tiny amount of ground pepper on top (because I don't like curry).  This was nicely warming on this cool day (thanks BB).  I boiled the kettle and put the water in a pan and placed my bowl over this just to take the chill off the soup, very nice indeed.

I'm now going to make some vege patties from the carrot pulp, zuccini, flax seed (ground) sp. onion, s/d tom and whatever else will make it taste good and dehydrate for dinner tonight and tomorrow.

Feeling great today, a little snuffle but I'm not complaining.

Bye for now

Feeling great today, a little skip in my step...

Dinner last night was really nice, 2 x vege patties with pesto and tom on top with green salad, yum.

I noticed today that it's just easier to move around all of a sudden, I mean I never really found it hard to move around and now I find it easier, lol, if that makes sense.

Today

Smoothie, cacao and banana
piece of fudge
lunch was 5 x crackers with avo and tom
Dinner will probably be the same as yesterday, have a few vege patties left.

Trying to drink more water today (it's not as cold, yeh)

Bye now

Today is 30 days for me, yeh

I don't know if I've lost a whole lot of weight but I do know I'm feeling alot better than I did a month ago.

Well tomorrow I'll get my son to take some photos of me to mark the 'One Month' mark.  I'm so nervous about putting photos of me up, this is something I've never done before and I guess it's another step to take.  If I'm up here for all to see I'll have more accountability I guess.  So either tomorrow or the next I'll put up my 'Before' and 'One Month Raw' photos, lol.  Hope it's easy enough to do.

Been eating 100% raw still and am feeling great, yesterday when bringing the shopping in by myself, I was running back up the driveway after each trip (about 6 trips in all) whereas usually I'm beat by about the third trip, so this is a big difference.  I have a steep driveway, not that long but when you are out of shape it takes it's toll.

I'm going to set some goals for next month, one I know will be exercising, lol, this is a hard one for me.  Another will probably be less nuts, or at least reviewing my food to aid in weightloss and cleansing.

Ok, have a nice day

yay day 30 (again) Lulu!!

Isn't it amazing how different you feel after just 30 days makes you wonder what can happen in a year or 10 years even... I get really excited thinking about it.

Keep up the great work!
