Day 4 Banana Island

Day 4 - so far so good! I have no cravings but am experiencing some detoxing. I feel spacey, lightheaded, burning in urinary tract, and more acne. Seeing more spider veins on my legs, too. I also noticed an increase in 'chicken-skin' on my neck/chest - yuck! Praying that this goes away soon!!! I hope these are detox reactions and as my body rids of the toxins, my liver can catch up!!



Positives - improved bowel movements and less bloating. Not gone but better!



Ate 30… Continue

The fall off, and the climbing back up!

This has been such a journey and a wake up! Since I started on the Raw back in November I've went through many stages of acceptance and denial of what this lifestyle is capable of.  My brain has been clear, and it's been cloudy. My thoughts have stayed pure and the dream remains.

I use excuses to continue the numb down with cooked food.  Staying vegan has not been an issue but staying away from the cooked food has been a roller coaster.  (excuses) My personal life with my split…

Fruit shakes causing unpleasantness...why?

I have been a follower of Paleo style diet for about 8 years. Lately, very little fruit...until about 1 week ago when I decided to embark on the frutarian way of life.



I've cheated with a little meat, and cheese until 3 days ago. The last few days Ive hit 4000+ calories mostly banana and dates.



Problems arose 2 days ago. I ate half a watermelon for breakfast and soon after I felt....weird. A little shakey, not nauseous, but just really off. Its hard to explain, but I don't… Continue

Grateful

I love my job! Today I got to lay out on the grass with a 4 year old little boy who is too sick to go home and lives in a nursing home he needs a ventilator most of the day to breath and is fed through a tube. He has probably felt grass a handful of times in his life and felt the sun and breeze on his skin a few times too.  Even though he cannot talk and lacks the muscle to smile I knew how happy he was!  I am so grateful for my own health and hope everyone with a healthy child never takes…

Day 46

Lips super dry and corners cracking. Still itchy but not as much.



Acne seems to just keep on increasing everyday. Hopefully it'll start healing soon.



Not too much acid reflux today. Only happened twice.



Throat hurts from eating not fully ripe bananas. Didn't have anything else though. Hopefully they'll be ripe tomorrow. Wish I could eat juicy fruit without my lips itching and acting up. Just need more variety in my food.



Rest day from weight training… Continue

A Glorious Day

I was beyond pleased to see that I have another pair of dress pants that I can give away because they are now too big.  The scale still wobbles back and forth, distorting my perception or my accomplishments, but I know better than to listen to it.  I may only weigh 8 pounds less than I did 23 days ago, but it's obvious that some of the fat as turned to muscle.  I have been taking photos every few days, and though I'm not willing to post them here, at least not yet, I am happy to say that the…

Menstruation

More of a personal blog!

I just wanted to document the changes that have happened since eating more raw foods. I used to always get cramps several days before coming on, but now I only get them 30 mins before my first bleed! I do still feel crappy when I have just started, but not near as much as I did when I was eating meat. I also have WAY more energy today than I normally do. Last month, as I was on holiday in Spain whilst I was on, I pretty much ate beans or cooked veggies with…

Day 3 of Banana Island!

Greetings!

Today is Day 3 on Banana Island! Yesterday, I finished off a total of 36 bananas!! Anyone I shared this with thought I was absolutely crazy! I know this is TMI, but today is the first time I have not felt constipated in months! I always thought bananas were binding, but my body seems to be responding to BI! Praying this is my answer!

Hugs!

Day 45

Lips still itchy, raw, red, and peeling. Will probably take a few days of banana island plus a few greens to get back to normal.



Acne still the same.



Not too much acid reflux today. Only when I went too long between meals.



Weight trained biceps and triceps today. Body feels weak and like it's falling apart.



Wish I could find a job that I enjoy. The people at the preschool where I work are nice and super awesome, but I feel like all we do is yell at… Continue

Contentment :)

Contentment is knowing that if tomorrow never comes it will be ok, because you have said today what you needed to say, you have loved completely and forever, you have laughed and been happy for the now, and you have made the world a better one.

Live for contentment <3

With love, Esperanza…

Smooth Sailing Tastes Sweet :D

    Looking back at my last blog post, i was struggling so badly.  A few months after that i went to the Woodstock Fruit Festival 2012.  I met the most amazing people and made life-long friends.  I had some of the best experiences and listened to the best lectures.  My fruity friend Dot and I were keen on going to Dr Graham's "Fasting" Lecture.  We had both been struggling, and for me personally i couldnt stand the chronic pain i had been dealing with for the past 5/6 years.  As soon as the…

Crossfit 811ers

Anybody else do cross fit on this lifestyle? I do and I love it..I look forward to it everyday, it's like playing in a sport, always improving and having fun. Being healthy just makes you feel invincible performing. Of course, I am the only 811er there, but I'm just proving what the lifestyle does with my performance. Everyone should try it one time and tell me about their experience!
