elisabeth, I’m just telling it like it is. The people around me DO eat lots of crap processed food and meat.

Hey Petunia, thanks for the link. I’ll check it out! As for detox, I already know all about it. I’ve been doing this for about 3 months and did experience a lot of “cleansing”.

I have a blog post (not my blog nor do I know her) for you that I think you would like:

http://www.soapandchocolate.com/2009/06/nuts-for-beam-green.html

I was reading it and thought of you.

All about the benefits of eating raw in a workshop that the blogger went to.
VERY pro raw, and I thought this comment was interesting for you, though you probably know it already.

***If you are new to cleansing, be sure to keep some “good heroin” in your diet–foods that you love and which may not be optimally healthy but keep the body from detoxing too quickly and causing unpleasant “quitter’s flu” symptoms.***

“Especially when everyone around you eats mostly crap.”
I’ve been following your blog sporadically for awhile now and I think it’s really great that you’ve found a way of eating that works for you, but since you always ask people to respect your new diet, I think it’s a little unfair that you categorize “everyone” else’s diet as “mostly crap.” There are clearly benefits to eating a raw diet, but that doesn’t mean that incorporating other food groups (bread, meat, dairy, etc) into a diet makes it crap. Yes, many Americans eat terribly, but there are many ways to eat healthfully, and each individual is different! Please don’t take this as an attack, I’m just hoping you’ll acknowledge that you can eat well without being a fruitarian Other than that though, congrats on your recent progress!

Maggie: Not yet but I’ve been planning to soon. I also have a Yoga DVD here.

lila: Nope, we are just friends, although we do sometimes flirt a little. He’s a bit too old for me, unfortunately, although he doesn’t look it. Plus he’s not the ’settle down’ type since he splits his time in three states. But who knows what will happen in the future?

Amy: Thanks!

Sam: I hear ya…

Glad it’s all going well and that you’re feeling good. I definitely need a work buddy, I feel like I spend most of my life justifying my reasons for eating good, healthy food.

This is great Rian. M sounds like a great friend and inspiration. With time your family and friends may want to emulate your healthy lifestyle. Keep up the good work!

Hey, have you seen this news article?
New details about Michael Jackson’s Death Emerge
I was wondering if you were going to blog about this…

Have you tried On Demand’s yoga videos? THere’s one I really like by Tom Morley (maybe I rec’d this to you before, but I don’t remember) – it’s called Cardio Yoga and it’s really awesome. It’s under the “lose the last 5lbs” section. If you have Comcast, definitely try it. I think Verizon might have a Tom Morley video too. His other one is called “Buns and Thighs Yoga” and it’s also nice. They’re both just 20 minutes.
