<span style="font-weight: bold;">Here is raw footage of me at our favorite store, IKEA! <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZU_n-QvNHk"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Jo on the phone</span></a><br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></div>

<span style="font-weight: bold;">Today I listened to Revvell's interview of Angela Stokes ( my favorite raw food lady from <a href="http://www.rawreform.com/">rawreform.com)</a><br /><br />I love listening to <a href="http://revvellations.com/">Revvell's Radio</a> shows while I work. I have learned so much about the raw food lifestyle from so many different perspectives!<br /><br />Today I worked 12 hours straight and had:<br /> 64 ozs green juice<br /> 64 ozs green smoothie<br /> 10 pieces of celery<br /> 5 pieces of romaine and half of one avocado in a wrap with fresh parsley, dill, onion, lemon, garlic... and of course... red pepper!<br /><br />I only had green juice and smoothies today. My sinuses totally cleared up... I noticed a lot of elimination there today too! I had so much energy at Starbucks while I worked tonight I could hardly quit working. (no coffee or tea while I work by the way) I forgot to eat my baby carrots I had so much energy!<br /><br />I've been working on having a more positive attitude at work . Everyone around me seems so sick and tired and bummed out. I smile all the time at work. Enzymes really do wonders!<br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></div>

My blood sugar remains stable throughout the day and I never get snippy.<br />Even when I work 12-13 hours a day with nothing but smoothie to consume, I never run out of energy.

Today I had so much more energy than I have in a while. I woke up 1/2 hr earlier for work this morning and had a big smile on my face when I got to work. This morning, our juice consisted of:<br />
<ul>
<li>Pineapple</li>
<li>celery</li>
<li>ginger</li>
<li>grapefruit</li>
<li>kale (LOTS!)</li>
<li>1 carrot </li>
</ul>
This mixture was absolutely yummy and made us about 32 ounces each. 2 hours later I enjoyed about 5 soaked prunes and I drank the water I soaked them in too! Today I also had:<br />
<ul>
<li>2 dates</li>
<li>1 large banana with extra freckles</li>
<li>32 ounces of green smoothie ( 2 frozen bananas, kale, and 2 cups water)</li>
<li>5 pieces of celery</li>
<li>1 grapefruit for lunch</li>
<li>15 baby carrots</li>
<li>Romaine/shredded broccoli salad with dill, lemon, garlic, and sea salt.</li>
<li>2 ears of corn with ginger, cinnamon, and a little raw honey= awesome!</li>
</ul>
I walked on lunch and found the a huge turtle on the trail and rescued it from almost getting hit by a bicycle. ... it slowly made its way to Haw Creek.<br />
<br />
I worked a full day without any decrease in energy and in great spirits. Tonight we are going to lift weights for 1/2 hour and ride our bikes until it gets dark!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><div id='vu_ytplayer_vjVQa1PpcFOAGqzQFCU4gUKEJkzHdH8TLZjeooFvUz8='><a href='http://www.youtube.com/browse'>Watch the latest videos on YouTube.com</a></div><script type='text/javascript' src='http://www.youtube.com/watch_custom_player?id=vjVQa1PpcFOAGqzQFCU4gUKEJkzHdH8TLZjeooFvUz8='></script></div>Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04091003370194114001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26880419.post-1160423060700761222006-10-09T12:31:00.000-07:002006-10-09T12:44:20.713-07:00Lara Bars!<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6015/2818/1600/applebujar_105.1.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6015/2818/320/applebujar_105.1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />I'm telling everyone I know about this lovely little bars that are all raw! finally, a snack food with absolutely nothing artificial added! Imagine that! Real food!<br /><br />My new favorite thing to do right now is to shred vegetables using my handy food processor. I never thought I would like raw broccoli as much as I do, but with lemon juice, a smidge of miracle whip, some ground flax seeds and cayenne pepper or hot sauce, I feel like I am eating a very mean Mexican Taco salad... the flax seeds add a lot of nutty flavor.<br /><br />I have to start taking more pics of these creations!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><div id='vu_ytplayer_vjVQa1PpcFOAGqzQFCU4gUKEJkzHdH8TLZjeooFvUz8='><a href='http://www.youtube.com/browse'>Watch the latest videos on YouTube.com</a></div><script type='text/javascript' src='http://www.youtube.com/watch_custom_player?id=vjVQa1PpcFOAGqzQFCU4gUKEJkzHdH8TLZjeooFvUz8='></script></div>Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04091003370194114001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26880419.post-1146715076711815352006-05-03T20:26:00.000-07:002012-09-10T10:58:24.476-07:00RAW MUSCLE!<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6015/2818/1600/wheatgrass.1.jpg"></a><br />
<br />
If I had any doubts about my protein requirements..... they are now officially gone! I stumbled upon a nice website while I was searching for raw food recipes today!<br />
<a href="http://www.charliesgym.info/">http://www.charliesgym.info/</a><br />
I can't believe how wonderfully and masterfully designed our bodies are! We can make and recycle our protein! Lettuce is 29% protein! I never would have guessed! Men can actually be body builders on a raw food diet! wow! check him out!<br />
<br />
Anyway, my favorite splurge this week are DATES from Marsh's Produce section. (the only place I can f<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6015/2818/1600/i-dates-medjool.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" height="196" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6015/2818/320/i-dates-medjool.jpg" style="cursor: hand; float: left; height: 116px; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 129px;" width="141" /></a>ind them in town!). I never even liked dates, of course, I probably ate maybe 3 pieces of fruit a week as a kid. .. but DATES are the yummiest things ever! Why would anyone want to eat a candy bar? these things totally hit the spot sweetness-wise. They are tiny little raw caramels! I'm also eating baby carrots too. Love that vitamin A! I ate an entire bag today!<br />
I've also calculated I'm getting well over 800 mcgs of Vitamin K a day in my morning green lemonade alone. No wonder I rarely bruise anymore! Vitamin K is also great for preventing arterial plaque, heart disease, building strong bones and preventing osteoporosis... and may prevent Alzheimer's disease (<a href="http://mercola.com/2004/mar/24/vitamin_k.htm">http://mercola.com/2004/mar/24/vitamin_k.htm</a><a href="http://mercola.com/2004/mar/24/vitamin_k.htm">mar/24/vitamin_k.htm</a>).<br />

She's 12 now.... Two years ago, the vet told me she had cancer... blah blah blah. She's still kickin! I have her on a raw food diet too. She acts like a puppy. She runs up and down the stairs, runs through the yard after kitties.. yells at Newfoundlands like she's the boss. (She is) I feed her raw turkey with our leftover scraps from juicing every day.

I added Collard Greens to my morning Green Lemonade this morning for some extra calcium. I read online that we need 1000 milligrams of calcium a day. I drank close to 30 ozs of Green Lemonade this morning.<br />
<br />
I am also trying to get my 80 year old father in law to drink the juice too. He's <em>old</em> <em>school</em> and wonders if my husband and I are getting enough nourishment from not cooking.<br />
It's amazing how wonderfully full you feel from drinking enzymes!<br />
<br />
Our new juicer we got at Bed Bath And Beyond is amazing! It has over 800 watts of power and is beautiful stainless steel. I recommend it highly if you're interested in starting to juice! It can juice an entire apple at once! Also, its not very noisy at all! I don't wake anyone up with it!<img alt="" border="0" height="150" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6015/2818/400/breville.jpg" style="cursor: hand; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" width="222" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><div id='vu_ytplayer_vjVQa1PpcFOAGqzQFCU4gUKEJkzHdH8TLZjeooFvUz8='><a href='http://www.youtube.com/browse'>Watch the latest videos on YouTube.com</a></div><script type='text/javascript' src='http://www.youtube.com/watch_custom_player?id=vjVQa1PpcFOAGqzQFCU4gUKEJkzHdH8TLZjeooFvUz8='></script></div>Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04091003370194114001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26880419.post-1146105238173194202006-04-26T19:21:00.000-07:002006-04-26T19:33:58.183-07:00April 26th, 2006Today I needed as much brain power as possible! So, I had my everyday morning Green Lemonade for breakfast and 30 minutes later, I ate 2 Granny Smith apples. Boy, were they yummy! I also had a sweet date and shared a little bit of it with my parakeet. He loved it too.<br /><br />I needed the extra brain power because its finals week, and also because I had another of 3 interviews this week for the same job. I pray I get it!<br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6015/2818/1600/ezekiel%20bread.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6015/2818/320/ezekiel%20bread.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />After my presentation at lunch, I had another apple and two grapefruits and a glass of green tea.<br />Before my last class, I had a salad made of Organic Romaine Lettuce, lemon juice, fresh peas and a little bit of my special garlic seasoning I made.

I really enjoy being different from everyone around me... especially healthwise.<br />Spring is such a beautiful time of year, and I love eating a wide variety of healthful fruits and vegetables that reflect the colors of the season.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black;">Most of the time when I tell people that I eat only raw foods, they look at me like I love to crack eggs open like Rocky and slam em. Although I love Rocky, GROSS!</span><br />
<span style="color: black;">Really, to me, there is nothing better than sitting on the front porch with my husband and sipping a glass of freshly juiced celery, lemon, ginger, apple and kale and watching my little maltese running through the dandelions after the kitties. </span><br />
<span style="color: black;">I've never been happier. I've never had more clarity. I've never felt more creative! I believe it is all do the the nourishment my body receives from the REAL FOODS I eat. </span><br />
