• I just sent you an e-mail, lol! Great minds think alike. ;o) I’d love to go foraging at one of those farms. I can eat my weight in fruit, hehe. It’s funny that you mention the blueberry farm in Canton – my boyfriend meant to take me there one weeken…

• Branwyn – We should have a pre-meetup meetup one day! That way, we could go to one of those meetups, and already know someone there ;) I know of Brentwood, although I’ve never been there. My dad lived in Wickford for a bit, and I remember seeing sig…

• I wish I knew of some raw events going on! I think there are a couple of raw vegan groups in Marietta/Roswell on meetup.com, but I’m usually too shy to attend those. I’m working on it though! I’m from Essex (although I never picked up the awful acce…

• I just saw this post. I live in Marietta/Roswell, too! How crazy is that?

• I was eating some raw Thai curry the other night, and I was actually physically blowing on my food to “cool it down” even though it was cold! Spicy dishes really seem to do the trick. Another trick is to let your raw food warm to room temperature. I…

• When I’m craving sweet (and usually chocolate too at that special time of the month), I make a chocolate paste (carob powder, cacao powder, almond butter, and agave nectar adjusted to your tastes), and then I stuff dates with it. Sooooo good. It’s s…

• I love this company, Higher Power, for buying nuts and seeds: http://www.higherpower.biz/store/index.php. You can buy raw nuts and seeds and dried fruits and raw granola, or you can buy nuts and seeds that have already been soaked and dehydrated. Th…

• When I was sitting in my tattoo artist’s parlor, having him work on my sleeve, he asked me why I was getting a large pineapple as part of it. So I told him it was about my commitment to my health, especially through raw veganism, and my way of honor…

• littlegems – we’ll definitely miss you! But, that being said, everyone’s raw food journey is different, and I think it’s awesome that you’ve found your balance and what really works for your body and your mind. Good luck with the rest of your journe…

• I know I haven’t really been around the last few days, but I’m struggling with staying raw at the moment, let alone being 811. I’ve been reading everyone’s posts, and I’m psyching myself up to start anew tomorrow (October 1st). I’ve told all my frie…

• Hey everyone. Great question Sinz! My answer is that I love to see how much I can achieve, and what I can push my body to do… and raw, and now 811 is one of those things. Going vegan almost 2 years ago was a mental challenge for me, and I loved ever…

• littlegems – I’d be excited too! Friends are so important, and having a raw friend makes life so much easier! You’ll have to start posting some of your 811 recipes for us :) Nicky – Good luck in France! Don’t you just love the way 811 raw makes you …

• Welcome to our new peeps – mattydean, shazzz and KAIT! :) Yesterday turned into a full-blown SAD day, but I’d been craving vegan garlic mashed potatoes for an entire week now, so enough was enough and I made some. And oh, how divine they were. Later…

• Today was much better at work, yay! I definitely think I’ll settle in there, although I’m always hesitant to tell anyone that I’m a raw vegan. I’m already the “odd person out” because they created a new position for me, and I work in the cubicles ne…

• nyc – good luck with your training for the half-marathon! A few years ago, when I first started running, I had running a half marathon as a goal, and then I let everything slide. Now that I’m “back in the saddle”, so to speak, I’m definitely startin…

• Sinz – Casaba melon is a cross between honeydew melon and cucumber. It’s both sweet and savory; I just can’t get enough! What’s the crenshaw taste like? MOTH – I have to agree that everybody’s body is different! Like, no matter what I do, I have a p…

• littlegems – That is so fantastic! No goal is too modest. It’s so much better to start off with smaller goals that are achievable than to set impossible goals that just set you up for failure! I copped out again this morning, and am quite mad at mys…

• Welcome Sinz! Hope everyone had a great Monday! So, I’m already not doing so great with my goals today. The eating part was a breeze, well, almost. I definitely had fat/salt cravings today, but that’s to be expected after eating lots of fat this wee…

• My goals are more exercise-related. I’ve really been slacking on the cardio this week, and on getting up early to work out before work. So, tomorrow morning, I WILL be getting up early and I WILL go to the gym before work.I will also do at least 3 4…

• nyc – Just wanted to say how fabulous it is that you placed 3rd in your run! Rock on! I tend to be an emotional eater, so I eat an awful lot of dates/fats when I’m going through a tough time. I hope everything gets resolved soon! MOTH – sounds like …

• littlegems – my experiment didn’t go quite as planned. Now that I’m getting to the bottom of my salad bowl, I’m seeing a lot of liquid… but, I did make a low-fat, flavorful dressing nonetheless. Ingredients: 4 stalks of celery, juice of 1 lemon, 1 c…

• Oh man, that sounds yummy! I say just enjoy it without feeling guilty; I know I’m gonna be eating cooked vegan this weekend for my dad’s birthday dinner… at a Greek restaurant, no less, so there’ll be a whole lot of olive oil. And I can’t wait! Ever…

• MOTH – that’s so awesome about the yoga! I always laugh when people ask me how I can sit through a 3-hour long tattoo session. I love the adrenaline rush (and my sexy tattoo artist, but shhhh!). I was a total bum today, arg. I usually have no proble…

• figs – you definitely don’t need to be so hard on yourself. Sometimes you just need to look at your goals in a new light. For instance, instead of making it your goal to be 100% raw for the rest of your life (allowing no wiggle room, and therefore s…
