Let me start off saying I’m no blogger, I really quite suck at writing….
Not because I’m stupid or anything, mostly because I type fast and don’t proof what I’ve written. (Also I’m ADD/ADHD so I go off on a million topics at once)
Hopefully spell/grammar check will catch most of my errors.
To begin with, I’m Whitney, I’m 23 I was born Feb 6th 1989. This is for me; it is my journey as I embark on the lifestyles of raw foods.
Not only that but also Mind, Body, and Spirit.
About me:
I’ve been healthy, unhealthy, really unhealthy, and even a stupid teenager. I don’t have much of a “sweet tooth” so I don’t have an addiction to such. However Diet Dr Pepper is my addiction of choice and it's tough to give it up.
This is going to be an interesting journey for me, because I don’t like most veggies but I LOVE fruits.
I’ve been vegetarian before…. I’ve been all meat eater before... (atkins diet my mom put me on in 7th grade.)
Lets’ touch base on that really fast, I went from strict atkins (old version) so just meats and cheese (7th-8th grade summer). To completely no meat (ooo my body loved me for that one) esp since in doing so I didn’t go healthy veg my friends called me a pastatarian…. I ate mostly pastas, few veggies, and some fruits(10th grade-first part of college)…
Why did I go back to meat? Haha funny story, remember the stupid teenager comment I made up there ^ see I had alcohol poisoning for 3 weeks that my body couldn’t recover from. My body was going haywire 103.5 temp anytime the Children’s Motrin wore off and extreme shaking…. To help my body mend I added white meats back and slowly added back in red meats.
I’m a big textures person….. I hate them. So most meats I dislike (stakes, pork, roast, and overly processed too ie bologna, hot dogs ham) point? Going off meats isn’t going to be hard for me.
The Journey:
I’m going to try to do as much Raw as possible if I need to steam a few veggies thou I will. Not because I’m rebelling more because it’s the way I can eat it, and steaming is better than boiling. Boiling just turns the veggies to mush with no taste (to me).
I don’t know everything about Raw nor will I ever. Nobody will ever have all the answers to life questions this is trial by fire.
But I’m going to continually be educating myself through books and youtube about this lifestyle.
And hopefully in a month be able to do 80/10/10 fully.
Remember flying blind will lead to a crashes….failure, so educating yourself on what you’re doing/getting yourself into is always a plus in anything you do.
The first week (seeing as i'm in week one now day 5):
Detox from the worldly toxins, I will not be taking any pills to detox only because I find it funny to take pills to detox pills/toxins and other things in your system.
That being said, I don’t do illegal drugs and never have and I don’t smoke. I do however take allergy meds, or Motrin on occasion.
Personally I’m going to try to do 80-100% raw my first week then I’ll go from there… If I have to adjust it I will.
I also along with this will be doing the beachbody program Insanity.
Is this long term:
This could last a week, two weeks, a month, a few months, a year, or even years
I’m not going to set myself up for failure by putting a date on it.
Why am I doing this?
I’m searching for happiness, clarity, and peace of mind/body/spirit
And just to be a more healthier me.

I need the community of just knowing there's other people to talk to and be around. I don't know of one other person in this town who's even a vegetarian let alone hcrv.... This is a meat eating small town and I'm just "different" but I'm ok with that.... Because of places like 30BaD because there are other people like me, eating the same way I am.

i am good! trying to match the pace with the clouds. I fall short everytime but hey I might soon develop wings. How abt you? How is school?
whitney!!! :-)
Gotcha, yeah one more winter to bear through. I just looked at the 10 day forecast. -_- Intense winds! It's quite blustery here as well. Hey that's exciting, congrats! What will you be studying?
It's getting seasonally cold Whitney! Forecast for the winter calls for more snow than the mild year before, bah. Thanks, you as well! Have you made the move to Florida?
Awesome! Hope the moves goes real well for you :)
Hey Whitney! Thanks for the add. How's your raw journey coming along? I'm super jealous of your future location in Florida, so warm and sunny! I'm already dreading the weather here in Jersey. >_<
the following lame article is from Yahoo news.. Even they say diet soda is bad!:
"Pop quiz! What's the single biggest source of calories for Americans? White bread? Big Macs? Actually, try soda. The average American drinks about two cans of the stuff every day. "But I drink diet soda," you say. "With no calories or sugar, it's the perfect alternative for weight watchers...Right?"
Not so fast. Before you pop the top off the caramel-colored bubbly, know this: guzzling diet soda comes with its own set of side effects that may harm your health--from kickstarting kidney problems to adding inches to your waistline.
Unfortunately, diet soda is more in vogue than ever. Kids consume the stuff at more than double the rate of last decade, according to research in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Among adults, consumption has grown almost 25%."
Quit hijacking your health girl! You want long term health? Or momentary stimulation?
Sup, rawrrawfoods
I like your reasons and description. Hope HCRV work out for you. I wish you ALL the best on your journey! Thanks for the honesty :)
Well, we are not too far away! How well do you do at finding fruit where you are at? We live in the country, in the boonies. I drive 45 minutes each week to do my shopping at Walmart and Aldi's. I am looking into a place to get organic food boxes every other week. But, I have to drive the hour and a half to Chicago to pick it up and I am not sure I can afford to do it yet. We will see! I just do the best I can.
