try a raw food diet
Transition 4 weeks ago

I’ve been reading a few raw food cookbooks and blogs to learn more about the techniques and tools necessary to be a successful raw foodist. I read that a good way to start transitioning to a raw food diet by making one meal of your day a raw food meal. I’ve been successful with most of my breakfasts and a few lunches in the last few weeks. I’m ultimately trying to move up to 2 meals a day and eventually every meal but it’s hard with 2 small children who have no interest in a raw food diet.

I definitely notice a difference in my energy level when I eat raw foods and I feel better eating more fresh fruits and vegetables.



Read one book per month
Audio books 4 months ago

Since I rarely make time to read a book, I’ve started listening to audio books while working (since I can design and listen to it at the same time).

Stop drinking coffee for a month (read all 5 entries…)
TMJ 6 months ago

when i chose to stop drinking coffee it was mainly because I was suffering from daily headaches. Even after not drinking coffee for a week, the headaches continued and eventually, because my jaw started hurting, found out i had TMJ which was a result of grinding my teeth at night and some stress during the day. My husband has an acupuncture degree and treated me twice with acupuncture and my headaches and TMJ have gone away completely!
