I was on here about a year ago and have since forgotten my password so im now SparklingEnergy aka Emily

Well where do i begin.
I had been raw for about a month or so until i went on a snow boarding trip to NZ where i was freeeezing (found out im not a cold climate person at al, bring on the sunshine i say!)
Anyhow i was freezing and sore (was my first time snow boarding and i was as bruised as a ripe banana by the end of the trip) so i found it to hard to resist the yummy hot foods they were serving up in the country pubs in front of a fire.
SO that was where my raw journey ended.

Until the other night i looked in the mirror and  though "where has my figure gone?" i had always been toned and fit and i guess now that im 29 i cant get away with what i used to so my body had started to really change. My skin looked lifeless and i havnt been feeling great emotionally and im not feeling clean and vibrant like i did in that tiny time that i went raw. I also havnt been feeling as spiritually connected to myself and others.

SO theres something i can do about it right now, so the last few days ive been eating pretty much raw besides a few dry biscuits with cheese and some licorice, oh and milk and cereal. Once they have run out i wont buy anymore. Hmm no i think i might still keep some dry rye biscuits in the house. lol

Anyhow after just two days of eating well i am feeling so much better!

I cringe to think that just last week i was eating pasta and coffee and packets of chips and chocolate bars (at least one a day)

Im lucky enough to have a gym and a sauna where i live so im going to get in to excercising, i will do half an hour of cardio and half an hour of yoga 4 days a week or more (have just ordered Rainbeua Mars Yoga for beauty dvd set) and then a sauna session.

I think my body would appreciate a 3 day juice cleanse to give it kick start. I have some chick peas soaking that im going to make in to a meal with a salad tonight so after tonight ill begin the cleanse.

I cant wait to feel light and free and bouncy and happy again!
I cant wait to treat my body and spirit to yummy goodness!

So thankful that this wonderful forum is here!
Your all wonderful and inspiring xoxox

oh and last but not least im still eating fish (salmon) twice a week. I felt like this was good because i had been a meat eater, however now im starting to wonder if i shouldn't be doing it....

I guess as i get my body back in tune it will tell me what is right for me.

Anhow heres to vibrant shimmery shiny health for us all!
