Angela: May 2008 Archives

What is the big deal you ask? The people I know choosing a Raw Food lifestyle are very, very healthy and vibrant. They made the choice due to a physical disease of one kind or another and found complete wellness with raw food. Essentially: I want what they have!

I will address some of my physical symptoms that led me to want to improve my lifestyle. Solid nutrition is a proven way to support the body and while I have drastically changed my eating habits in the past 6 years - away from pop, processed foods, high-fat foods, I have not lost any weight. I still have sugar cravings, hormone fluctuations. I still overeat and get tired easily. I meditate almost daily which helps tremendously with stress, but I don't always support my body with the right food. And I believe it takes several elements for wellness. Exercise is included on that list, but I don't make it a priority in my daily routine. I am going to focus on the best food first and see where that takes me. There are some amazing testimonials on-line. I will be adding in links to them soon!

On Saturday, May 30th, I will be at the Farmers Market as Robin Moyer launches her product gRAWnola! It is fabulous!  www.RAWphoriaLIVE.com

Yeah! I started my Raw Food Adventure on Thursday, May 22, 2008. I am going to eat 90% raw foods for 90 days and write about the ups and downs of eating raw foods. Here is how I arrived at this decision: I have been attending Sheree Clark's Living Raw Meetup group for about 6 months now and absolutely loving the food I get to eat there! Anyone can (and many do) bring delicious recipes to share. YUMMY!

May's demo was of the most fabulous corn chips and Jalapeno Poppers. After this meeting, I decided to try eating raw for the rest of the week. I was 100% raw all week and felt great! I emailed Sheree Clark and Robin Moyers (Rawphorial Live) and offered to be their Raw Poster Girl for the summer. Sheree suggested I contact the press to see if they want to follow the experience and from that this amazing sponsorship team has emerged!

I have a blog coach that I will be spending time with soon, so this page will improve. A list of all my sponsors will be posted early next week.

I have some great links to share of others doing a raw food life or a juice fast. Even Oprah is on the vegan bandwagon! These will come with the blog coach!

I am the founder and managing partner of enrgPATH, Iowa's first comprehensive Community Resource Guide for the Life of Health and Sustainability (LOHAS). Where we promote "Living Well Today for Tomorrow." Each choice we make today impacts us in the future, whether it is 1 minute from now or 1 year from now.

WOO HOO! My first blog entry is done! More to come for Angela's Raw Adventure!
