I’m so excited! I’ve booked myself for 2 weeks at the Optimum Health Institute in San Diego. I’ve been wanting to go for years and finally saved enough money to make the trip. I’m sure I’ll learn a lot. I’m really interested in the wheatgrass sprouting classes. I’ve never had much success sprouting my...

I’m regaining my momentum. Remembering that it’s not how many times you stumble, but how many times you get up. I’ve been using some old stand-bys for motivation (reading my raw books, reading blogs, etc.) but have also added something new – directly partnering with a buddy to keep myself accountable. I’ve put my...

I’ve made it through yet-another-1st-day on the wagon. Yesterday, I got strict with the ETL for Lent, albeit a little late. Parties over the weekend are my downfall. I know there are ways to overcome the difficulties presented by socializing, but I’m still feeling the effects of my very strong addictions to dairy, sugar,...

I’ve been sticking to vegetarian eating this holiday season. Managing to get in some greens lately. Definitely dipping into the treats however. That’s ok! It’s the time of year to indulge a little. Avoids that whole deprivation thing. It’s time, however, to detoxify from the deluge of delights. Now that this decade is nearly...

It’s raining. Hard. It’s 47 degrees outside. I know, it’s a balmy day for Ottawa (where I used to live). Here in L.A., however, it’s FREEZING. My fellow Canadians are laughing their asses off at me right now. I’ve gone soft . I have succumbed to hot veggie-licious soup and roasted veggies. Yes. I’ve...

It’s time for me to challenge myself again. I’ve been rocking the SAD vegetarian diet since the beginning of October and I’m feeling the effects. Ergo, I have committed to doing another 30 day 100% raw challenge beginning Sunday November 29, 2009. I’m starting after Thanksgiving. That’s a big food-focused holiday especially for...

Ok – I’m really late posting about the last week of my September 30 Day Challenge. I’ve been traveling on business, so I’m using that as my excuse. I was also taking some more classes at Living Light. This time it was Knife Skills and Science of Raw Food Nutrition. I’ll blog more about...

I made it out of the slump! Yeah, it took a few days longer than I would have liked. I blame sleep deprivation. It’s a bit more difficult to hold the line with new habits when one is groggy groggy groggy. But, I did rally! I spent the rest of week 3 eating blissfully...

I’m trying to rally. Really. I’m still in the 2nd week slump, however. I slept very poorly Sunday night. I was exhausted Monday. And Tuesday. Here it is Wednesday and I’m still not recovered. I blame monthly hormonal shifts. I need to blame something. It’s either that or lack of exercise. I haven’t managed...

I’m still raw-king the 30 day challenge! I’ve had a few bumps along the way, however. I think I’ll call it “the 2nd week slump.” I rode through the 1st week of the challenge on getting-started-enthusiasm. Plus, I lost 3.6 lbs during my first 5 days. That’s a very strong motivator. I’m a bit...
