I've been training for the whole summer, running the long miles on the weekends and short runs during the week (6 miles is now a short run which is unbelievable since that used to be hideously long!). I also have been doing circuit training, plenty of ab work and push ups. I love seeing how great I feel when running and eating raw… Continue

Happy Unshopping days
Hey! Anyone else out there boycotting the big commercially driven holidays? Since going raw, I really can't stand to shop. It just makes me tired and bored thinking about it.
I'm going to celebrate life and all that is sacred and wholly in my life this month, and that means doing what I enjoy doing...loving being in the now and avoiding anything that has to do with "have to or should". I mean, why should on yourself?

Yes. I'm doing a diet like that. I'm the skinniest I've ever been, including back when I barely ate at all just to be thin. I could not lose the weight when I was doing high fruit, 100% raw. I would work out so hard all the time, and nothing would...
I was watching this and they say that Niburu has an orbit of 3600 years. So they speculate that Jesus was from there and when he returns it will be only 1 year later for him and 3600 years later for us. This sounds so incredible but if they are di...
Yeah, and I could kiss my sex life goodbye.
I bet, you could lose weight on greens, low fat and low sugar diet. I can't prove it my self , always been bone skinny, but now I am skinier on such diet, but also I still maintain skinny look with more sugarly fruit in my diet. Be carefull with r...
so, are you growing any in your humble little garden ? .......and don't ask me if I do !
Ha, this pic is making me want a green smoothie. I think I'll get up and make one.
well, you could save your "fortune" and sleep on the floor and get much better resoults than anything new high raw tech can provide, unless that floor is concrete.
Haha, Chris. I am definitely a true Columbian. There was a painting on the wall behind the couch that my parents dug out of a trash can; we had a compost pile and a garden, but nothing sloppy enough to violate the "residential code" (unlike my bes...

I wish I could get the taste of it, to judge for my self..................don't buy this kind of stuff.

I think I got a buzz off of it yesterday..
Nah, I bought it cuz it was cheap, compared to all the other nut butters. The packaging could have been in zebra stripes and I'd have still bought it.
