"You might need to build up to jogging. I wouldn't jog again until the soreness is 100% gone and then wait 2 more days so you don't re-injure yourself. Many people find jogging on grass much easier on the knees and ligaments. Swimming…"

"maybe some balance training would be beneficial for you, too. single leg stands on unstable surfaces, jumping on one leg (of course only as long as it doesn't hurt!), etc.. good luck!"

Starting Week 8--on the journey:)

So, I had 6 awesome weeks and then came week 7 and everything suddenly seemed to get really difficult.I don't know why but I lost my motivation and felt like "why?" I gained some weight back, felt lethargic, unhappy with myself. It was so much harder to go to the gym. And I am just overall disappointed with myself for the past week.I have stayed great about not eating animal products but cooked food had a little bit of a hold on me. And then I got my period.....I really need to up my fruit…See More

Profile Information

Our community would be delighted to know you better. Please tell us more about yourself and what brought you to 30BaD. Detailed responses will only be accepted (feel free to reapply with more detail if at first not approved as a member). We suggest you pick a name other than your own if you want to maintain anonymity.: Hello. I'm Stephanie and I have been gradually eating cleaner and cleaner for the past two years. After having my baby girl three weeks ago, I have finally shifted into a 75% HCRV and want to stay connected to others who are also on that journey. My husband is a Raw Food eater (less fruit and more veggies for him)--but I am on the 80/10/10 plan for myself with a bit of supplementation while I am breastfeeding (planning to phase fully into HCRV during this fall). I love watching Megan Elizabeth's Youtube and Dan the Man which is how I came across this site. We have no friends or family that eats remotely close to how we are eating and would love some on line connection and inspiration-or maybe even meet some people in our area! I am just beginning in my journey and we live in a cold winter state so we need encouragement...nothing but apples here:) I am a stay at home mom of two...Moses, my son, is 22 months and Adalei, my daughter, is 3.5 weeks. I also have a small dog named Kirby who is a raw fooder too:)

Thanks for considering me!

What is your gender? PLEASE NOTE: To enhance the community experience, profile pics of yourself are *REQUIRED* to gain membership. Membership will be declined otherwise.: female

Please tell us about your dietary inclinations:: I really want to be HCRV and just need some guidance

Reading "The 80-10-10 Diet" by Dr Doug Graham is vital for succeeding on this lifestyle. Please acquire this book as soon as possible.: I have read the book

Are you Connected?: yes married

My favourite books/movies/authors/pastimes are....: I love biking. Design shows. I love Farmers Markets. I love sewing and hand making gifts for holidays and birthdays. I am a singer and songwriter and I love Adele, Matt Nathanson, Andrew Belle, Coldplay....

Durianrider & Freelee started this site to bring together high carb, raw vegan lifestylists' across the Globe! 30bad is a high standard and high performance team! We're here to help you make our team! Let us know what HCRV assistance do you need?: Encouragement and information. I want to understand better WHY it is better to eat this way since my family doesn't understand (which is okay with me-it isn't going to change how I eat even if they never understand). I am currently overweight because of eating s***ty food all my life so I want to lose this weight and live a healthy vibrant life for myself and my kiddos and my hubby.

4th of July---Doing it rawesomely! (Pic of "Firework" Fruit Pie)

Posted on July 5, 2012 at 9:26am 4 Comments 2 Likes

So, in the US today is 4th of July. I was laughing this morning to my husband saying "let's run to the store and get donuts and coffee and cinnamon rolls...." He laughed and said "I'll go whip you up a smoothie". But this had been our previous routine on holidays. So SAD-in both senses!!

I love eating clean. I feel so much happier and healthier. We went out for lunch today and I stared at the menu....NOTHING SOUNDED EVEN REMOTELY GOOD. I couldn't believe it. In less than a…

3 weeks, building confidence, can you see a difference?

Posted on June 29, 2012 at 8:05am 3 Comments 3 Likes

So it has been a little more than three weeks and I feel great. I am starting to see some change in my face and my body. I still have a long ways to go on this journey and I am fighting cravings with carbs. Doing Freelee's challenge has been helpful these past four days...accountability goes a long way for me.

On the GREaT side I am signed up for a mini triathlon for August 18th with a friend. I am totally pumped about doing this. Not only am I signed up but I am also training…

Day 11 Updates

Posted on June 19, 2012 at 12:46am 1 Comment 1 Like

So, this is day 11 Today and I have great progress reports for myself. And one bad thing: My awesome MacBookPro of four years bit the dust due to a faulty graphics card. The worst part: I have video editing deadlines this week and we do not have lots of money as a family. No financial way of fixing or replacing this computer---this means no video edits, which was my beginning of a way to try and make money as a stay at home mom... I am trying not to worry about it too much because at this…

She said do all aspects of the lifestyle for a full year before you start complaining and freaking out. I hope to inspire lots of people to take Freelee's Challenge. Jump right in! Hugs! Oh, and I just noticed you only live about 100 miles away from me. I am having a greens party at my house on June 2nd if you want to come.
