Today my boss took everyone into the conference room separately and told them her plan to balance the budget. Shes firing one of my coworkers and cutting my hours and another one of my coworkers hours.
So instead of angry and pissed (my first reaction to a loss in much needed income) I have decided to think of it as a way of giving me more time to find a job that is better suited to my personality, its also a way to give me more time to focus on bettering myself, more study, more exercise, etc.…

We bought a generator yesterday and we are able to plug in our pellet stove and one lamp! My fiance and I celebrated our 5 yr anniversary last night by playing monopoly in front of the pellet stove by the light of one lamp. We heard that there is a rash of burglaries in the area because theives know people arent home because there is no power, great huh? We're banking on the fact that we keep the generator going when we arent home to keep our kitties warm (poor things were so happy when we got i…

Ugh my co-workers have been making cooked foods that I used to love. My desk is right by the kitchen area (our office is converted apartments) and their food smells are not making me hungry, yay! but they are making me feel nauseous, yuck! oh well. I cant wait to munch on some pineapple in 11 days!!!

This is the first period in my life that wasnt accompanied by a break out so yay! Oh and I picked up this mayan cocoa spice tea that is so yummy and warming, just the smell. This…

Day 2 of 100% raw, and it is freezing out but for some reason I (who am chilly on a normally warm summer day) am not cold. This lack of chill could be the lack of cooked foods (but I've seen the posts about how to keep warm on raw in the winter), the office actually being warm (nope the heat is set back still), the numbness of my co-workers death (perhaps but I sit by the door and I feel the cold when it opens and get warm pretty quick), or a mystery of my body chemistry that I hope will continu…

My co-worker just died of cancer. His wife works with us too. She was on vacation all this week taking care of him. Anyone have any recipes that I could make to take to their house?

Sunday and Monday I was totally not raw, and for the past 3 days I've needed my inhaler more. Today I am renewing my raw commitment, and am going to have to take the overnight approach so I dont go back to cooked. We'll see whats going on later!

I lost 1 pound! thats success one step at a time. Yesterday made yucky lasagna from the book, I had a bite of it and threw it out (I'm only wasting my money by tossing it). Had green lemonade today with some carrot/apple/cranberry "soup" and a little bit of spelt grain toast with (the whole thing is bad I know) smart balance on one slice and cream cheese on the other! oops! I will eat way less cooked tomorrow!!!!
Hopefully my weight loss will continue beyond 1 pound and I can post pictures I ac…

Today definately enjoying my juicer! I got it last night and immediately started juicing random things. Trying different mixes to see what I like and dont like. Also found a way to get my fiance eating more vegs! He saw the carrot pulp in the juicer and started munching it! Turns out his mom and grandma used to make carrot juice and they gave him the pulp as a treat! It was a reward, he had to be good to get to eat it! LOL!!! I love his mom, shes awesome!!! I do not recommend raw, even transitio…

Got hungry and ate a veggie salad with "liquid gold elixir" dressing from natalia rose's "detox diet." able to eat the whole salad, only 2 cups of broccoli, lettuce, and baby spinach (yay cold abatement!). I'm really amazed at how yummy the dressing is, lemon juice, honey, ginger, garlic, and olive oil. Made my nose a little less stuffy, going to have some more tea now to (hopefully) continue the nose clearing. The goal is to breath through my nose most of the rest of the day instead of my mouth…

Yesterday was day 1 and I tried to stick to the meal plan but just wasnt hungry (thats what happens when I have a cold) I made a ginger tea ball and that seemed to get the cold out of my system many tissues later! I went on a light to heavy food journey of an apple and tea all day till dinner (went out to eat with my dad) where I had nachos (I know poor food combining etc) but I was raw till dinner as I was trying to be so goal for day 1 accomplished.
Day 2 is starting out ok. Still not too hun…

I am nervous about starting transitioning to a raw lifestyle tomorrow. Thankfully more people are ok with different ways of life than when I went vegetarian in highschool. I know how my family reacts to anything different I do, so I know my only support will be this community and my fiance (who is down for anything that improves health and well being). I have to pick up a blender on my way home today since the family's blender is so old it breaks everytime you use it. I'm not coming to work tomo…
