Hello Travellers,

I am so inspired by Steve's raw food logs and updates and general attitude that I am taking the step I wanted to take 10 years ago.

I met someone who had cured himself of a 'terminal" disease and had been on raw food for 20 years since that time. He was 50 years old and looked 25. I immediately decided to try it. Unfortunately my partner gave me an ultimatum "me or the diet" and I made an unwise choice.

Always an excuse though, if that's what you look for. I have found excuses ever since then.

I actually tried it for 2 days and freaked out last night that I would get totally spacey, do something foolish and jepardise my job, so I ate some veges and rice.

So today I started again and am calling it DAY ONE.

So here is a little report about it....

I teach at a secondary education institution. It is quite high stress at times with a lot of responsibility. So today I had a moment when I felt myself floating out of the room and by a combination of willpower, prayer and trust I kept on with the lecture and hopefully no one noticed.

I have the most foul taste in my mouth, so disgusting.

My energy is really good though, apart from the aforementioned interesting journey into space.

Also I actually had a fantastic dream the night of my initial pre trail day. I was so happy because I used to have wonderful dreams and have not had them for years.

2 weeks.. just 2 weeks of withdrawals and four of those days are weekends. So that is only ten days and I have already done one!!

Thanks for reading and being part of my world
