Day 22

OK I'm about to tell you a secret...DO NOT GO RUNNING TO MY MOTHER.  I've been doing an experiment and it's actually working so don't flip your shit.  I wanted to see exactly how effective my diabetic meds actually were so I went off of them a week ago. I made a deal with myself that if my blood sugar went back up over 300 I would start taking them again.   And today, my blood sugar is 214, which is super fantastical for me!!!
I know it's kind of juvenile of a 31 year old woman saying not to tell her mother something but if you are questioning me then you have never actually experienced the wrath of Jo Ann.  I am so excited that this raw food lifestyle has actually dropped my blood sugar between 150-175 points...AMAZE BALLS!!

Also, I want to add that I'm not trying to recruit people to a raw food lifestyle.  I started this blog because I wanted to share my experiences and how doing this challenge has effected me.  People seem to enjoy the blog so I have decided to extend the challenge to 60 days!  Yippee! More blogs!  People also want to hear about the guy I'm seeing so I will henceforth call him "Delicious"....you know, to protect the innocent.

Day 17

I haven't written in a while, and I have gotten a lot of flak about it so here is a new post!! Yay!!


Well....I met a guy.  He's basically Mr. Awesome.  I've been doodling "Mrs. Katie Awesome" in my notebooks during class.  Not really, but he is pretty amazing.  I've had requests to give details about our date on Saturday night so here is the "G" rated version....he cooked me dinner (La Sigh!!...who does that anymore??!!) we talked for hours and played games.  The "R" rated version of the date is that those "games" involved two double mattresses, a plastic pool table cover and half a bottle of mango and tea tree massage oil.  I'll leave the rest to your imagination.  Isn't the imagination a great thing??


My diet this weekend went to crap, and that's OK.  I'm trying to be regimented without becoming the Raw Food Nazi.  I went to a cookout at Josepha's for Memorial Day and decided that I would eat a burger.  I got a little flak for it, but hey, I wanted it at the time and as everyone knows, "I DO WHAT I WAAANT".  So I loaded that puppy up with cheddar cheese, bacon and ketchup.  If no one was looking, I would have rubbed that greasy burger in all it's unctuous glory all over my face.  It was great....for about 30 minutes.  That's when it hit me like a left hook to the gut from Mike Tyson and I pretty much was in and out of the bathroom the rest of the night.  I felt bloated and terrible so I'm back on track today.
