A Month is a Long Time

Posted by Erin B
I’ll say it again: a month is a long time.
Today is the day that at the beginning of the month, which feels so far away, felt so far away. It’s the day that at the beginning of the month I thought I would be celebrating with trumpets and confetti, but for reasons that [...]

I am a Wayward Friend

Posted by Erin
I wish that it could be the 28th of January with 3 more days of raw diet to go, and that I could stand here (or lie on the bed here, as it were), boasting proudly that I have been %100 true to my commitment to eat nothing but raw food for a [...]

Bar Review

Posted by Erin
There’s been lots of talk about Lara bars on this blog. I feel that they should endorse us, as we’ve only had really good things to say about them. I branched out recently and tried some other raw bars, and I must say that they pale in comparison to Lara bars.
I had eaten [...]

Oy, my belly

Posted by Erin B
Oh, I come with a heavy heart to admit that I have been slipping on raw diet. I also come with a heavy belly. Belly is not happy with my cheatage. It knows, and is reprimanding me. It liked the healthy eating I was doing before, and is kindly requesting that I [...]

On Loyalty to a Thing

Or: The Bad Thing About Cheese is That It’s So Good
Posted by Erin
Loyalty to a Thing. I think a lot about this. I’ve been thinking about it since day one, when I was tempted to say, “Screw this!” when I was hungry and cold at work. But then I thought about my loyalty to this, [...]

Half-Month in the Raw

Posted by Erin
Hey all. Today marks the more-than-halfway point of Raw Diet! Boy did I think this day would never come! But it’s here and I am definitely feeling much differently today about food than I was on January 1st (and having a much better day, despite today’s cold). I haven’t posted since the day [...]

Feelin’ Good

Posted by Avocado Face
After a brief hiatus of blogging, I am taking my lunch break to catch up. I felt much better after my last blog, because after finally expressing my thoughts, I no longer have to think about them. I also took a few days off from logging my food and weighing myself, and [...]

Life as a Fruitcake

Or: The Art of Moderation
Or: I Am Living the Edge of Radical and I Am Scared Shitless
Posted by Erin
I have things to discuss today. A week of rawness has passed, it seems like only yesterday Beck and I were perching on the edge of an inbetween, pondering the morality of eating lemon bars at  12:07am, [...]

Almost feels like something resembling something sort of close to normalish

Posted by Erin
And that sums up today! I was not too hungry at breakfast time, due to some lite upset belly/intestinal goings on, so all I had in the morning was a handful of grapes and an orange. I really only had the orange because the Internet was down at my house, so I drove [...]

I’ve Never Met a Beet I Didn’t Like…

…until today.
Posted by Erin
I traversed through my favorite local health food store, knowing that I’d find some hidden raw treasure. I was not disappointed when I stumbled upon a package of Raw Cultured Grated Beets. It’s a sad thing when your idea of treasure is cultured grated beets. I’m a big fan of beets, and [...]
