Taylor and Marilyn’s Adventures in Blogging!

Last year when my friend Dan told me about his going on a raw food diet and what it did to him (all good), I would have never thought that I too would be venturing down this path. However, when you find out that you can’t take the medicine that you need to take to control a potential health problem, you find out really quickly you can do a lot of things that you never thought you would do. So three days ago I started eating a totally raw diet and plan on doing so Monday - Friday every week followed by a mostly vegetarian diet on the weekends and, occasionally a piece or two of meat!

If you are a die-hard raw only or vegan only or vegetarian only kind of person and think I am dishonoring the holy community, please realize that I am not in any community except the one where I take care of myself and still enjoy food and eating for the rest of my life. I expect to stay raw or vegan most of the time but I want the freedom to eat meat on holidays and at other events in limited moderation. This is because of high cholesterol and I suppose that if I didn’t have this condition, I would eat more of it. As it is, I am taking control of my health and my eating habits.

As of Monday morning, January 4, 2010 I weighed in at a hefty 223.9. After the first three days, I have lost 3.3 pounds and feel really great. This website will be used to document the ups and downs of this diet and what you have to do to pull it off and maintain it. I hope you enjoy it and participate in it with me. Let’s get healthy together!
