saints alive

man things have been rough! i'm trying my best to readjust to being high raw and feel good about my choices, whether or not i'd make them again. :) trying to stay positive...

i just drank a lovely pint of water and now i'm drinking a peach/blueberry/spinach smoothie. i plan to eat some nori/sprouts/avo wraps and carrots later on. i might try making a lemon herb dressing with garlic, too. i'm trying to find something that matches the flavors of hummus that isn't too fatty... thanks to my friends at goneraw for making that suggestion.

adios,
sam

banish!

i hereby banish you, hummus!!!!! you are the bane of my healthy existence, be ye raw or cooked. you are too fatty and too delicious and i can never stop eating you.

stay away, chickpeas and tahini! i shant be fooled by your wiles again.

sweet raw

well things have been gloriously raw for me lately. i've been reading angela stokes' raw emotions and enjoying it thoroughly. i've been chomping on fruit salads with honey, spinach salads, and nori wraps with sprouts and avocado. i've been drinking lots of water and kombucha... i recommend trilogy. things have extremely delicious.

yesterday was my first day of detox. although i have a small sore on my tongue that i contribute to my raw change, yesterday's migraine and cold sweat was the worst of my detox so far. interestingly, it was on the 4th day of raw... last summer i did an OJ cleanse and the 4th day of that was absolutely terrible. i think i've figured out how long it takes my body to get in gear and realize something's goin down. ;)

the only cooked things i've eaten... my favorite sun-dried tomato vinaigrette (which is almost all sugar... ugh) and about 1/2 c. of roasted red pepper hummus (over the course of the past two days). i am addicted addicted addicted to hummus. i love it. i love the raw version, too, but... sometimes i feel like i should just cut it out completely because it's rather high in fat and i tend to eat cups of it at a time.

that's about it in my little raw world. glad to be back in the game.

back on the train

HAHA JUST KIDDING

WELL! I have a friend who wants to go raw for a spell.

So I'll be doing that. I'll let you all know how it goes... hopefully I will be strong enough to stick with it and stay away from dried fruits and nuts, something I mentioned I had a problem with before.

Hooray!

But still read the new blog. :)

Peace!!!!
Sam

New blog

Everyone!

I've got a new blog. It's about books and my life.

Please read it.

Should be fun. Haven't decided if I'm going to keep writing here or not. I'm going to be raw again at some point in my life so I'll keep the blog around but my postings might be increasingly sparce.

Love to all,
Sam

Vegan

Just thought I'd give a little update.

I'm not eating 100% raw, nor am I really making any effort to do otherwise. I'm kind of going with the flow. Classes have started consuming a lot of my time, and I'm not working as much as I was during the summer... funds are low, as is free time. I'm still absolutely loving being vegan, but I'm getting anxious as my trip towards the reservation grows near- I'm probably not going to be able to stay vegan since I'm not going to be controlling my food. I'll be living in dorms and eating cafeteria food, and I have no idea what types of food they serve. It's a mystery. I'm grateful that I can be vegan now, and only have four months of Unknown ahead of me. We shall see how it all turns out.

Hope everyone is doing well!
Peace,
Sam
