And the journey continues…..
OK, I certainly have not been perfect on the raw foods 6 weeks in…. it’s been quite cold here with winter in Sydney so I have eaten more than 20% cooked foods. Probably eaten too many vegetarian pizza’s too come to think of it…..hmmmm, certainly not helping me reduce my weight by that last couple of kilos thats for sure.
Today is glorious day, not too cold at all & so far so good! Just finished a snack of gogi berries & cacoa nibs & am going to make the Coconut Chocolate Truffles from Eating For Energy the pecans are soaking! Nicer weather makes it so much easier…I shouldnt complain I guess it gets much colder in Canada!
My main mission right now is to peel those last few kilos off my frame, cant say I have lost any weight on the Eating For Energy program too be honest (too many non raw meals? or perhaps too big portions?) but I have not gained any either…I have also picked up my yoga practice again every other day & try to get a 30 min walk in if weather permits.
I think the good news is that neither I nor my family have caught any of the nasty flu’s and colds going around this year….must be the raw enzymes!
Til next time – Christine
Christine Hi!
This is Pierre from Canada and yes it does get cold in the winter here. Eating For Energy is the greatest because we need lots of Energy especially in the winter.
To lose some of those kilo’s here are a few suggestions.
Have a smoothie or juice for breakfast. Yes just that but drink as much as you want. Their are 50 pages of great recipes(just smoothies and juices) in Eating For Energy.
Have a green juice for lunch, again do not be afraid to mix and match. Add apples(from Canada) and carrots to sweeten it up always. Have as much as you want. Watch what happens over the next week or so. Try to remember your energy level and write it down every night. You will feel stronger, more alert.
Keep writing and let us all know.

Hi Pierre & Peirrette!!! Thats a great suggestion about breakfast & lunch, I was wondering if I should increase my juicing actually & you have answered my question!!! I really like the green juices & enjoy experimenting with them – sometimes i add spirulina, sometimes bee pollen or acai. I am definitely starting with that tomorrow! Thanx for the encouragement!

Great job Christine! Adding the exercising will make a difference in helping you lose those extra pounds. Remember to stay focused on the big picture.
Hi Yuri
Yes, its hard with the kids I am pretty much limited to what I can do with them (but flying kites today was remarkably energetic!!) as they cant walk as far or fast so I usually do yoga at night when they have gone to bed. I have a basic yoga qualification so I do my own thing or pop on dvd…..I dont get much opportunity to do exercise without the kids but I try to fit in a 30min fast walk on the 3 days I go to the city for work!
