When I first began this lifestyle, I made tons of pretty rainbow plates (still in my photo albums on FB) and became obsessed with taking pictures of my raw food creations. Somewhere along the way, my preferences shifted towards eating whole raw foods as-is only one or two types of food at a time. Like […]
Don’t be that person in the gym who takes ALL the foam rollers to their mat just in case they might need them, and then plays on their phone for 15 minutes before deciding that foam rolling isn’t really their thing. Sigh… OKAY! Where was I? Right… Day 1,076. Diseases? Not anymore. “Incurable,” if you […]
3 years ago today… I ended up in the hospital with Multiple Sclerosis unable to use my left side from the neck down. I cannot believe it… it seems like it was all just a horrible nightmare now. I have learned SO MUCH since then, and regained all of my mobility. I don’t even feel […]
Today, I’ve got a quarter of a sugar baby watermelon gifted from my lovely friend Wendy, 3 bags of black grapes, and a few limes to add to my water. Leftover salad is already prepared and waiting for dinner. I will likely hit around 1800 calories with some leftover grapes. Today is also a gym […]
A Standard American Diet “S.A.D.” coworker, out of the blue, decided to try a raw fruit and plant-based diet modeled after mine for the next few weeks just to see how he feels. I could not believe it when he told me!! This is why I eat with my coworkers (even when their food saddens […]
I had to brake suddenly in traffic this morning and my perfectly ripe peaches went flying and squished against the walls of the mini cooler. My heartbreaking screams of despair while sitting in traffic, “Nooooooo!!!!!! Not my peaches!!!!!!!” Folks around me might have thought I had an accident and hurt myself or my car. I […]
On this day one year ago today, I only ate 459 calories. Yikes, right? I’ve been unintentionally hitting somewhere between 700-1700 calories in this last week. I’m now noticing a pattern. My calorie intake has been dropping steadily even though I don’t feel like I’ve been eating less food. I’m feeling full and satisfied, sometimes […]
Even as a white woman raised by unconscious racists, I do not understand or agree with white supremacy. I do not support racism, sexism, or speciesism. I do not understand why people are afraid of and violent or controlling towards other beings with different skin color, sex parts, genetics, or even ideas. I don’t understand […]
River dog had to go back to the animal ER on Friday night, as her snake-bitten ear from last week developed an infection. It was gross and scary looking. They were very glad we brought her in when we did. Needless to say, I didn’t sleep that night… again. Saturday, I was essentially useless. Sunday, […]
I’m feeling awful today. On Saturday, our dog got bit by a snake and she’s been in the ER since then, slowly recovering, but not without a few extra and costly complications. We visit her daily, and she’s going to be fine with hopefully no permanent damage. It’s just been rough. We’ve been stressed about […]
