I have recently acquired The Thrive Diet, by Brandon Brazier, a tri-athlete from Canada, and absolutely love it. I am careful about some of his recipes are they are for someone who is very physically active, which I am unfortunately not at this time... and in smaller quantities and being mindful of ingredients, they taste wonderful. I also like the fact that his life is indeed so demanding physically, and that he is able to do it on a completely vegan diet, though not completely raw. Brandon d… Continue

I've discovered Squidoo recently and have been playing with it a bit. I have not done a raw page as yet, though it's definitively on my list of to-do. It's really alot of fun.

I'm also trying out new salad dressing from tomatoes and other veggies rather than oil, and that I really like.

Another great thing is that I am not having any bread cravings…

Today was a little better, though I am still overall very tired. More than tired, actually, I get to where in the afternoon I have a very hard time concentrating on anything. I could not do anything on the computer without feeling completely drowsy. I had to keep moving or I felt like I could just fall over from lack of energy.

I went and bought a bunch of bananas after school. Without the nuts and the olive oil in my salad, I think I'm just not getting enough calories.
