Hmmmmm... Here We Go Again...

so a lot has happened since i last posted anything here... i was actually looking up a raw food recipe to send a friend and clicked on my bookmarked link only to discover that i'd left a comment nearly two years ago on the site with the recipe... then i clicked on my pic and landed on this blog... lol... hmmmmm.... perhaps this is a good thing... or not... not sure right now, but here i am and i've decided that a post is in order... it's kind of cool to send this out into the universe even though no one is really reading it... but i get to come back and see how far i've come... i get to see my successes... and i get to see my failures... the one thing i know about myself is that i don't give up... every time i fail i learn something important about myself and one day--ONE DAY, i'll be successful in this quest for health... so monday i joined my sister on the Daniel "fast"... she started on sunday and i decided to join her to support her... it's way easier than doing 100% raw and now that i'm taking the best supplemental nutrition IN THE WORLD (in my opinion), my cravings are gone and the week has been a breeze... what am i fasting from?... well, i'm enjoying fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, whole grains and tofu products... i've eliminated white flour, white sugar, white rice and all animal products... so i'm pretty much living vegan for 21 days... i'm permitted to cook the food too... so it's actually very easy... went out with a friend to the cheesecake factory yesterday and ordered a very tasty "legal" meal... i had a portabella mushroom burger (no bun, no mayo, no cheese) which came with a grilled slice of onion, slice of tomato and some lettuce... i asked for brown rice, grilled asparagus and some snow peas and vegetables sauteed with ginger in sesame oil... it was awesome... anyway, i'm recovering from my back issues... the nutritional stuff i'm taking allowed my body to begin healing itself... my blood sugar is dropping, blood pressure is now 100% normal, inflammation and pain is almost completely gone... i can walk like a normal person again... i'll make it a point to post again... but for now i have to go... need to go to sleep before i start feeling hungry again... it's way too late to be eating...
