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 […]
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 […]
Last night was Date Night at Whole Foods with my love. We sat down in the eating area with our vegan and raw fruitarian meals, when a couple with their toddler sat down next to us. Both adults sat on one side of the table and they placed the toddler on the other side with […]
I believe that the majority of people are vegans at heart and don’t desire to harm animals even if they were raised to do so (like me). I believe many of my meat-eating friends are future vegans, because they love animals. I believe that when presented with the truth and after waking up from the […]
