i have semi-decided to begin some sort of a part of raw diet some time in the near (hopefully) future. whatever does this mean, you ask? well, exactly that. i have been vegan before and loved it-felt great. but it was EX-PEN-SIVE, unless you live on horse-feed i.e. grains but come on, who does that besides, uh, horses? so anyway i got pregnant during this last vegan run and stopped because i didn't quite know enough about pregnancy and a vegan diet. then life got all crazazy and up & changed on me and between miscarrying, husband getting laid off, moving to minneapolis in a hustle, and all sorts of new beginnings, i gave up. THEN between holiday (and not holiday) weight gain and gym memberships not being transferred when i moved because gold's gym sucks a load, the time has called for new rainaworld order! but i have done stupid things like this in the past & given up so instead of saying this is exactly what i'm going to do and then most likely fail, i'm going to not set the bar so high, which i apparently am great at. ;) here's the bar: i want to try going raw, only about 50% (which still counts, by the way). it's quite common for someone to ask "how raw are you?" . 'high raw' is around 80-100% but that is setting the bar waaay up there so there will be none of that going on around here. this is just to poke my nose around a bit and get a feel for things. that's as far as i'm willing to admit because, you know, the whole failure thing.
if any of you have attempted this before and liked, let me know! give me yummy recipes and helpful tips because it's always easier when someone has already tried it. and if any of you are interested in doing this with me, it's always easier to actually do it with someone else!!

Hooray! I have done it and I loved it! What I shot for was raw the first two meals of the day and cooked for dinner, that was pretty easy. I would have fruit for breakfast, a snack of carrots or something, a salad for lunch....etc.
Let me know if you have any questions
Wait, does this mean raw meats and such?? Or am I just a big fat retard
