Profile Information

About Me:: Since many of y'all have such cool screen names I just had to find one too. Hope y'all can tolerate the NEW me. I'm 43 years old (44 Jan7th) and just now thinking about getting healthy. I have always been in pretty good shape but I have NEVER eaten healthy. This RAW thing might be the ticket.

Only problem with me is, I'm a meat and potatoes kinda guy. Neither of those foods work well raw. Oh well, we shall see.

The wife thinks it's a good idea. Maybe it won't kill me. :-)

Relationship Status:: Married

Favorite Raw Food or Recipe?: hhhmm, carrots, califlower, broccoli, avocado, strawberries, bananas (simple stuff)

Interests (outside of Raw Food):: Horses, Motorcycles, Bird hunting, most things that involve being out of the house. I also enjoy playing with and cutting up with my kids.

Favorite Books or Authors:: Clan of the Cave Bear Series, Dick Francis books, most pre-20th century adventure

Favorite Quote:: The outside of a Horse is good for the Inside of a Man.

30 days 100% RAW and the Fruitarian Fitness Challenge

Hey y'all I haven't posted much in a while. I've been REALLY gettin' into this fitness challenge. It is my goal to be 100% RAW for 30 days. I am also working to get in better shape. I have lost 8 lbs since the first of January... Hooray for me!!!

MY testimony... A bit about me

Now before I get started, don't think that I am just trying to get
sympathy. I just wanted y'all to know a bit about where I'm coming from
and where I hope to get back to.

On July 8th, 1984 I
hopped on my motorcycle and headed back to my duty station at Ft. Polk,
LA. About 2 miles from my house an elderly man turned in front of me
and I hit him broad side at about 60 mph.

The impact tore my
body up. The metal of the car ripped my neck open and severed my
jugular vein.… Continue

Ok, back on track.. Hup, 2, 3, 4... Hup, 2, 3, 4....

Here we go again....

Sooooo, after a couple days of falling on my face I am back with renewed vigor. Yesterday... 100% raw (except 2 cups of coffee)

Today: fruit salad for breakfast and a green salad for lunch.

Yeah for me...

Thanks for all of y'alls support as well.

Ok, I kinda fell off the Wagon

Alright, Alright, so I'm NOT as dedicated as I was trying to be. We stopped by the McDs drive thru on the way home tonite. The kids were ordering all of that HORRIBLE stuff and I couldn't help it.... I ordered a burger. The good news is I only ate ONE and didn't even eat fries.

However, 2 of my 3 meals today were raw and for that I feel proud.

We'll see about day 3...

Day Two.... Here we go Again

Ok so, I don't know if I'll go totally RAW today. I'm feelin' kinda naked about now. The ol' brain is kickin' for some pizza. I know that several of you have encouraged me to take it slow and I will but, then that "don't wanna be a quitter" thing kicks in and I feel the urge to try it one more day. Maybe it is just a case of mind over matter.

Anyway, I'll keep y'all updated.

Joey

So, are you feeling more energetic yet? I'm making Swedish Neatballs tonite. My husband is beginning to get a little bit interested.

I spent my whole life trying to escape London, but now i am a long way away i miss it, more for the convenience then anything else, but i also miss friends and family.
Both London and Greece are fantastic places and for very different reasons. When you are ready to visit either let me know and i will do my best to offer you some good advice.
Lots of live
Gina

I distinctly remember feeling the exact way. I had the Nesco dehydrator before, and it stunk (it didn't work well). LOL The Nesco dehydrator is made in a circular shape and it would take doubly long to dehydrate, and food was often very moist/chew...

Erin replied to Rawzilla's discussion 'Stevia: green or white?'

I think the green is more "leafy" tasting (which I don't mind) but doesn't have the same long-lasting aftertase that the white does. I love the Wisdom of the Ancients green stevia liquid. I've finally made friends with stevia, LOL! I get it from V...
