Body wanting more water

I have noticed a big difference in my body when I consume fruits that are juicy. My body needs them. I am leaving the bananas to my family and sticking to the juicier fruits. My body seems to want less and less food. My body wants more and more sun. I am going to go with the flow of my body and see where it takes me.

I have not made time to journal my food intake because I have been enjoying nature more and realizing my need to just be. I know I can never go back to a cooked food… Continue

Overwhelmed

Was supposed to have my EFT appointment today but she had the wrong time written and somehow we missed each other, even though we were both at the library at the same time. Rescheduled for Tuesday. I was looking forwards to it.

I haven't been doing very well food-wise. Breakfast and lunch are fine but it's still falling apart either at work or right after. I"m getting enough calories and all...it's not a hunger thing. Just still stuck in the cycle.

I keep thinking about… Continue

Parsley/Herbs:Lesson 42 at rawfoodexplained.com

This I just read on rawfoodexplained.com:

"What about some herbs that are relished in a raw state, such as garlic, onions, parsley, and so on? In general, these types of herbs are not needed and may prove harmful to the organism. Garlic and onions, two of the most popular flavoring herbs, are full of noxious toxins, like mustard oil and allicin. Parsley is also a strong herb whose use can overstimulate the kidneys. It is a very concentrated green herb which should probably not be a… Continue

Low Protein and Pork Steak

I was told at the plasma donation place today that the labs they sent away (every 4 months they send a vial of blood away to do a more accurate protein reading than the finger stick they do every time) said that my protein levels were below the acceptable amount. Apparently my finger stick last time was fine but the vial test was too low. So, they took another vial and I have to wait a week for those results before I can donate...and if it's too low again I have to do it again.

This… Continue

Parkday

Yesterday was a very fun day. Me and my son went to our unschooling parkday and he played for hours with all of his friends. It always makes me feel so content to see my son happy! We stayed there from noon til 6 in the evening. We like to walk to the park carrying all of our supplies a wagon. I do not drive. I love enjoying the walks we have in the sun and sometimes when it rains. It gives me and my son time to think,talk,and to just be. It was very easy to eat all fruit yesterday. Before I… Continue

Day 99, 100% Raw Fruitarian.

Tuesday, Day 99, 100% Raw Fruitarian. It was a trying type of day. Filled with things designed to cause anxiety if i let them. The type of day that requires faith. i am glad the Lord got me through it. Character must be developed in trial. There is simply no other way. i am glad the Spirit causes me to understand this, although, i cannot say i always rejoice in it. Not yet. In conjunction with the day, good food was not as plentiful. But i can say i did rejoice in what i was able to eat as i… Continue

Tired and Sore

I've been really tired today and had rather extreme muscle soreness the past 4-5 days. Not really exercise-related, just everything is very very sore. It's like when I first started the program, but now it just doesn't make sense. Everything is very tight and very tender.

I had therapy today and didn't realize how low my mood was until I got there. Dr. Graham's consult coming due has really put me in a bind financially...more than I expected. I was talking to my therapist about my… Continue
