Moving to New Zealand in January 2010

no problem man. i've switched to the bodyweight routines over the summer and definitely enjoy them more. it's great to be outdoors (except maybe in this blistering cold) and most of the stuff seems more functional than lifting weight. have fun!

saw you were looking for some bodyweight exercise tutorials. richard blackman posted some in the Shud Up N Train group.

mmm biscuits and brownies sound good, if you could recommend some recipe books that would be great (it'll motivate me to put more effort into applying for jobs so i can treat myself hehe)
thats cool that there are other vegetarians and vegans here too...its more important to me to eat vegan wholefoods than to be 100% raw...though the only non raw thing I have had in the past four days is a sprinkle of cinnamon so I'm feeling quite proud of myself.
is there anywhere you know of where i can buy food, health shops, farmers markets etc? and also anywhere to eat that makes anything vegan thats not full of crap (ive just been told by my boyfriends parents we're going out for a meal for his birthday, i don't really want to eat out but feel i should make an effort to try and find somewhere that wont make me feel like crap after eating there)
sorry about all the questions, just trying to sort myself out in a new place!

Hello! I actually found this whole site because I have just moved to the Isle of Man and typed 'Raw Foodists Isle of Man' into google (hoping I wasn't the only one) and your profile popped up! So thought I'd say hello :-)

Hello again. how are things going?
My little sis lived on Man for about a year...she's now in Sydney which is probably only marginally more expensive to get to :-)

Well, I had a frustrating night setting up my time capsule, only due to my own stupidity - didn't realise I still needed my router, d'oh! All hooked up and happy now - took AGES for the first back ups. So far, I'm a happy bunny. I chose the time capsule as I wanted to be able to back up wirelessly from my iMac and MacBook and now that its up and running it is great to know it is happening invisibly and automatically. I suppose the real test is when I actually need to restore something though...lets hope I never have to!

Hey you! You're a pro, don't need any tips from me Mr Reid!! Great to see work in progress, I didn't chart my garden as it took shape. You've loads of space, and your green house is about the size of my polytunnel (20 x 16). But if your neighbours don't mind you have room for a decent poly too. Have you seen this little 10 minute film on growing your own? Great for inspiration. Well done you! I honestly think there are few things more pleasurable than watching your seedlings grow... then harvesting and eating just seconds from the garden. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCPEBM5ol0Q&eurl=

Hi! Thanks for adding me as a friend :)

Hey Andrew
That's great that it's going so well for you. Phases, I've come to learn, are all par for the course. Eating raw for me in the main is good however I've reached a phase in my journey where I'm dabbling with cooked food. It doesn't make me feel very good physically but sometimes mental health can override. I'm quite sure it's just a wee blip.
I see you're a teacher, I guess high school dinners are out. Mind you Jamie Oliver did quite well at making school dinners more healthy didn't he?

I know in my health shop seaweed is very cheap.I will ask someone about picking seaweed and i will look up some information.
