New Here - Raw Food Chat

trancedancer · 07-20-2006

Hi,
My name is GeorGina but my friends call me Georgie. I would like to make many new friends here.
I have been into Raw Foods for 9 years. Had some times when I went back to eating bad but have always come back(in short order) to the raw.
I am a few months shy of being 60 years young. I feel that I am very healthy and have a young outlook on life. I do Marathons, swimming group, and try to not let anything keep me down.
Also a Certified Raw Food Chef.

I always wanted to do a marathon but I only got up to half-marathon shape. Now I'm down to 5k shape. Anyway, welcome!

wow what an amazing person you are!! I could use some inspiration right now. I'm having a hard time staying raw. I'm in the military doing something that I just can't stand and waiting until 09 Nov 2007 to get out!! How do you manage to stick to it! The one thing i really want to do as well is make my own dishes!! I'm so nervous to make one LoL I know it's silly but, I can't get myself to buy the seasonings and oils and misc... I'm on a temporary duty station as well but... when i get out, i really want to take this thing seriously! One day open a few shops along the coast of California! NEWHO thank you for the inspiration dear!![/i][/i]

I do not want you to think that I am 100% raw because I am not. I am a happy 80%. That is where my body functions the best.
(Veg) If you can do a 5K you are doing a great job. Just keep on doing what you are doing.
(Raw Beauty) It must be hard to be at a job in the military that you don't like.
Do you have a blender? If so there are a lot of things you can make with that.
Thanks to both of you for the nice welcome

ha thanks trancedancer.

I love running but just not fast. With you being a raw chef you should try to convince some of your buddies to go raw too or at least bug them to try some stuff! or just talk to us for fun! RawBeauty I don't know what you have avalible but I'd do the same! Who know's maybe you'll bug the right person and find some interesting people.

Most all the people I know do eat more raw foods than they use to. It is not because I bugged them, it was because they see how healthy I am and wanted to do the same.
I don't run in the Marathon. I am a Power Walker. I do give the people who run a lot of credit because I have never been able to run. I do enjoy the power walking a lot.
