I’m no longer counting the exact percentage anymore, but I’ve been hanging in there with high raw, some days full raw. I haven’t lost any pounds recently but I’m looking trimmer. I feel like I’m in a sort of holding pattern for the winter and probably won’t start dropping weight again until the weather warms up.

Today my classroom sounded like a TB ward with near constant coughing all over the room. So far, I haven’t gotten sick this season. I thank God for that and I hope this becomes the first winter in years that I don’t get sick. Winters past, I’d have been in the emergency room by now for breathing or dehydration symptoms.

While I’m mainly eating very simply (lots of green smoothies and simple salads) I’m enjoying a tasty late lunch that’s a little more “gourmet” today: collard wraps with alfalfa sprouts and Alissa Cohen’s mock salmon pate, a side of dulse jerky, and a spinach-blueberry-banana-ginger-chia-spirulina smoothie.  Very green.

Off to eat. I will try to update this blog more frequently. I am doing well on high raw and seem to be past the worst of the detox stuff. Its all a process, though. I’m enjoying the journey too much to worry right now what the destination might be.
