interesting things I've noticed...

[Guest guest]

I have a physically demanding 'job' as a Natural Hoofcare Provider ( horses)

and usually after a big day of trimming hooves I am pretty muscle sore for

days.... Especially if I'm out of shape ( like now since fasting for 3 weeks

earlier this month).

Well I keep surprising myself with what I don't feel anymore since fasting and

eating raw or mostly raw ( I have had a few fries when out to eat with my

family-Thank goodness for salad bars!)

This weekend was a busy one (working/trimming Sat. and riding horses all day

Sunday) and I should be stoved up and feeling every bit of it and I'm not!

Wohoo! I didn't realize so much of muscle pain ( lactic acid) comes from how

you're eating. I am plenty tired at night. You know the 'good' tired like you

did something and I fall right asleep and stay asleep- which is another new

thing! My eyes pop open by 6 and I'm ready to get up. No more rolling over and

trying to find a comfy spot...

Sorry so long! Keep trying newbies!

Re: [Raw Food] newbie help

 

 

Heather,

 

It sounds like you struggle with it about like I do. I have four children

and a husband, and none of them are remotely interested in going completely raw.

My husband is in the military, so he's not home all of the time. When it's just

me and the kids, I can often convince them to have fruit-days; but here lately

the fruits we can find aren't that great. But I don't like everything they like

to eat, so I'm trying to make those things more often rather than things I know

I like to eat. For example, I don't like to eat PBJ sandwiches or grilled cheese

sandwiches, so I'll make those for them for lunch. I can't eat pancakes or

waffles so I'll make them pancakes for breakfast. That helps.

 

One of the hardest things is that my husband and I have had a rough

relationship. We're hanging in there, and trying to do some of our old favorite

things again...but one of those things was cooking together. Spaghetti with

home-made sauce. Going out to eat at one particular pizza place...things like

that. Interestingly...when I started bringing home mushrooms and sprouts and

things for my salads I found out that Paul loves sprouts and mushrooms!

 

Anyways...(HUGS) I don't really have any advice for you, but just keep

trying. I think part of my problem is that I have planned out the kids' meals

and what to make when DH is home, but I haven't been planning out what to make

for myself. I haven't really tried any recipes either. So I need to get my rear

in gear, make out a list and get up to Whole Foods.

Isn't it the most amazing thing you've ever experienced? I used to

drag out in the morning and hate to face the day. No more! On the

private forum, one of the members started a thread, " You know you're a

raw foodist when... " We've been posting all the things that we don't

do any more and the things that are unique to this lifestyle. It's

pretty neat.
