Counting down, and determined to enjoy each and every day of Naked Goodness...

I'm really excited to be a part of this 58 day adventure.

Today is day 57, and this is where I am:

Fruits, greens, veggies- loving oranges, banana smoothies, banana sauce over greens, apple lemonade parsley smoothies, pears, persimmons, grapefruits.

Hard time and some victory !

Last night, i told my husband about what happened yesterday, he was half part concerned, half part disappointed.
I felt bad about it...

Today, my kids went back home, and my mom told me my son had been respectless, never happy, not listening... and that she didn't want to care of him anymore in these conditions.
As he also acts like this at school when is is not busy and we often go and see his teacher for that problem.

It was very hard for me to hear this, i feel so much like i failed as a mo… Continue

Falling down.

I have to confess i miserably felt down this afternoon.

It seems that every time i feel confidence, i have a huge kick back of my cravings.

This afternoon, i was fine, a bit alone but fine and the second after i found myself eating cheese and so on ... It was totally under NO control, i didn't even seen it arrived ..

I choose to use the reset button, not proud of it but didn't wanted to assume the consequences.

Now the time to analyze and understand ...

I have noticed that my cravings and b… Continue

And i'm gonna juice all day, i started with OJ, later i had a carrot/beet/parsley juice , see :

Sweet Fruits - Best when eaten alone or combined with lettuce or celery. They can be combined with sub-acid fruits. *Do not combine well with acid fruits or fats.

Sub Acid Fruits-Combines well with acid or sweet fruits, but not both at the same time. Also combines well with lettuce or celery.

Acid Fruits -Good with lettuce or celery. Combines well with sub acid fruits. *Does not combine with sweet fruits.

Melons- Best when eaten alone for optimal digestion.

Vegetables-Combines well with most food except sweet fruits.

Starches- Combines well with most vegetables. *Not recommended with meat or fruit.

Meats-Best combined with salads, not sugars, fruits, or starches. (Not an issue here with raw vegans)

Fats- Best combines with salads. Will combine ok with acid fruits. *Should not be combined with sweet fruits or starches.

Following good combining practices is a real benefit to your body's digestion. Occasionally preparing a raw dish that violates these rules isn't the end of the world. I'm known to break a few rules when throwing a raw party by combining sweet fruits and acid fruits or some other suboptimal combination.

Oh God, Connie--cement dust?! And legless cows?! Wouldn't that kind of stuff get people off meat if they knew?

I agree with every word Michele. I 'm glad I was able to help you. It is true that some people mistake forgiveness for reconciliation, they see the words "I'm sorry" as a cure all. That is the problem I have sometimes. I have had to learn to forgi...

No, Helen, they do not have a sense of what is right. These animals and the people who eat them are commodities that put money in their pockets, cars in the driveway, and yachts in the ocean for them to play on. They have lost or sold their sense ...

Start keeping your receipts and take them back to the store. Those that have that smoky greenish color never ripen, whether they are organic or not, We also bought a case like that at the farmer's market that were bright yellow that we had to comp...

Yeah, Lissa, it can take a while unless you do it like Happy did. She just let it rest then got out all the build up at once and the oils had already returned. I put honey in my hand and used it like shampoo and I rinsed it out good with warm wate...

Thanks everyone... It has been more than one brand, and yes, they look like that, green at first, and then streaky yellowish shades. I'm going to try some non organic ones, and only buy if they are yellow. This is so frustrating, perfectly good ba...

Over here I have this every now and then, not just in the winter. Sometimes they are great and tasty, sometimes simply not edible. Once I bought a whole box of bananas which smelled like hell, turned grey, never ripened and tasted awful. I don't k...

Sorry Laurie, I forget sometimes that certain sayings don't translate your way and vice versa as well. 'Begs belief' may have been better but over here the sayings change regionally as well and where I live 'beggars belief' is what is said. I gue...

I truly love your honesty and "putting it all out there". It takes enormous courage to let us all in like this and I think we can all relate. I loved the "Giving" video. I still remember, daily, your words to me about showing up at prospective cli...

Thanks for this blog Connie. We women really need to get a handle on this type of feeling. Guilt, guilt and more guilt. It seems as if more and more women are realizing this and take measures to re prioritise. The visual of the balloon was very he...

Is it more than one brand, Carol? I do find this on occasion with certain brands--if it's the same thing, I think it has something to do with how they're gassed, or the temps they encounter en route, or if they come from too far away like Costa Ri...
