Juicing and juicers, are two different things. For some of you, when you buy a juicer, you loose 25% of your juice in the pulp, that is what juicers do. however, if you, are more serious about your health and well being, you buy a juicer that do...

Profile Information

About Me:
I just went Raw on december 28, 2008 (for my second time actually-tried about 2 years ago but just wasn't in a good state of mind to really make this a lifestyle then) and loving it so far but i'm still really new and discovering tons of new changes in my body. Currently a bit disillusioned with my life and am looking for new experiences, places to bring me out of this rut and get to a more zen like place. Want to return to the free spirit I used to be and just pick up and go without thinking of a million reasons why I shouldn't. Looking to get back to the "root" of who I am so if anyone has any life changing advice, I'm open and would love to hear it!!

Since I was 15 I have felt this inexplainable need to change the color of my hair every 2 months....

Some have called me interesting, crazy, weird, bizarre, etc. and i wouldn't want to be called anything less because without all of these things my life would be so BORING!!!
How can the community best support you in your journey? (moral support, transition advice, fitness tips, etc)
Support and education from others with the same interests because most of my family and friends think I'm NUTZ and are giving me a hard time about my decision to go raw. It actually is very frustrating because most people don't really understand the whole raw thing even after I explain it to them and they just get irritated and tell me I'm not going to get all of the nutrients that i need, etc. So, I'm looking to meet some like minded individuals who can support and guide me through my journey.
Relationship Status:
Single
Favorite Raw Food or Recipe?
lately i have been obsessed with buckwheat groat crispies with almond milk and a mashed up banana, ummm!...always Love avocados too!!!
Interests (outside of Raw Food):
All forms of art....I just love "creating" and can usually be found making something interesting, or at least I find it to be interesting. Spinning really cool unique art/novelty yarn, jewelry design, making handmade baby/kids gifts (mobiles, hand painted onsies, personalized memory boards, etc.)

Help preparing Spaghetti Squash???

So I just tried to prepare a spaghetti squash and make some marinara sauce. I thought I had known how to prepare the squash properly but I guess I don't. What I did was scoop out the insides & seeds then I took a fork and scrapped the squash lengthwise to try and release the "spaghetti" but it did not work out that way. What I ended up getting was more like a rice. Does anyone know how to do this propperly???

Yup, had a serious 50's "waterfall" 'do when I was 12. Blond is nice, but you're smokin' as a brunette.

How did my beard start? I left my corporate job of 13 years and just decided to let that puppy grow for a few months. Or did you mean how did that thread start about me? I don't know... I guess I have a fan club. It made me feel like a raw Mickey Mouse or Justin Timberlake.

Thanks! lol. Now that we are finally getting settled into our new place and new routine I think I might video document my body transition. After the twins were born and with moving around overseas I haven't been able to prioritize my training etc. I think that it could really encourage a lot of women to make the changes in their lives in order to express more of their optimal potential. What do you think?

Hey Lindsay, read your bio for the first time - I love all your different looks and know exactly what you mean about feeling the need to change your hair color - I love the extremes too I like to go back and forth from total blond to totally dark, I have a lot of hair and it's become an expensive habit that I am trying to curb but I'm getting the itch again... I think on my profile there is a pic of me the last time I went dark, looks good hummmmm

Lindsey,
You can see the trailer for the film and purchase it at www.Rawfor30days.com. Also, if you want to see the brand new trailer that has more of the well known people in it go to this link: http://www.rdnmovement.com/?p=653. We literally just finished this trailer in the last few days. We were getting feedback before putting it on the official movie site.

Let me know what you think and if you have any questions. :)

Hey, I am going to the Ellens class this month at Arbor Farm. I am taking my mom and my boyfriends mom. I am trying to slowly introduce my friends and family to the raw concept and i think it will be easier to do when a "professional" explains the logic/science behind it instead of them just hearing me throw out random facts. I think she also has one on 4/2 at the Crazy Wisdom Book Store on Main Street in Ann Arbor. I believe it starts at 7, but i would call & double check before you go, cause I am not exact about the time. Her April lecture is on Raw Detox for the Spring and should be really good. I have actually been to the Raw Red Pepper Deli in Northville several times. It is about 1/2 mile from my work. The food and drinks are awsome! Have you been? If not I totally recommend it
