http://rawweightloss.wordpress.com I'm going raw. Two pregnancies, and many, many pounds that simply won't come off no matter the diet. Raw, simply feels right. I'll be journaling my adventure here. Sat, 10 Nov 2007 13:36:18 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en But I am still here. Life kind of got in the way, and eating crappy food seemed easier. Numbing even. I currently weigh 237 lbs. Pretty much exactly where I started in May. At that time I managed to drop well over 20 lbs, and I'm hoping to do that and more ... http://rawweightloss.wordpress.com/2007/11/10/back-where-i-started/ I never did like to follow the rules :-) I'm going to personally adapt the Alissa Coen 30 day raw challenge to better suit my needs. Yes, I want to eat primarily raw. Yes, I want to lose weight. I also need to be realistic.   My plan is: - breakfast, ... http://rawweightloss.wordpress.com/2007/09/11/time-for-a-challenge-my-style/ I'm actually still here, and back on raw. Vacation was wonderful, but while I was away my diet suffered. Unfortunately, it continued to suffer after I came back. For the last two months I've been eating horribly, with the odd day or two thrown in where I half heartedly attempted to ... http://rawweightloss.wordpress.com/2007/09/09/guess-what/ non raw, all junk. Well, not all junk....but a lot. I think I'm back up 225. My husband and I just realized how horrible we feel, and we've made a firm commitment to ourselves and each other to go back on raw food. I'm still extremely busy at work, so it ... http://rawweightloss.wordpress.com/2007/07/06/busy-working-and-eating/ I've been at work pretty much non stop - all day/all night since last week. I had my first day off today, and it felt good to do absolutely nothing :-) We'll just say that I completely went off my diet over the last week or so. I did try to ... http://rawweightloss.wordpress.com/2007/06/29/im-still-here/ forget this week ever happened? ;-) Not good, and getting worse. I was pretty good yesterday, and dropped a pound this morning. Today, I was fine until dinner time. Some stuff came up at work, and i'm now going to have to be there 12 to 15 hour days for the ... http://rawweightloss.wordpress.com/2007/06/21/can-i-just/ The last couple of days have been interesting. I fell off the wagon again for certain meals (dinners out, pizza night, and dinner out with friends). The remainder of those days (and meals) have been consistantly raw. What I find the most interesting is the weight gain. My "off the ... http://rawweightloss.wordpress.com/2007/06/20/weight-gain/ Didn't get a chance to post an update yesterday. We ended up going to my husbands fathers house for Fathers Day dinner. I wasn't prepared, and of course there were absolutely NO raw food options. They even put in cooked rice into the salad.  I stayed raw the remainder of ... http://rawweightloss.wordpress.com/2007/06/18/two-day-update/ Had a surprisingly good day. We were running around all day on errands, so I made sure to pack lots of good snacks for the hours in the car/park/stores. This way I wouldn't have to be tempted with any fast food restaurants. We had promised the kids an ice cream cone from ... http://rawweightloss.wordpress.com/2007/06/16/saturday-update/ I resisted temptation at dinner! Quite proud of myself, and it was my favourite - pasta. I made it for the kids and my mom who was over for dinner. While that was cooking, I made up a big bowl of guacamole, along with a cucumber and a "sunburger" from ... http://rawweightloss.wordpress.com/2007/06/15/sprouts/
