Thank you Teresa! I appreciate you coming here and browsing through my blog. When I write, I like to write with an open heart and allow myself to be held accountable for the things I say I am going to do.

As you follow this progress, you’ll see what happened and how it led me to do what I am doing now (raw/living food lifestyle).

Welcome!

I also can’t wait to write the follow up to this post and see how it’s going. I can tell you right now that looking at my belly lately tells me something is working in some way, form or shape.

As for replacing the beans, LOL, well, that won’t happen until the 30 days is up as it’s part of the regiment. However, the…..well…you know….hasn’t happened as much as it did last Saturday.

Perhaps my body is adjusting? I’m just glad I’ve embarked on a new journey and am able to share it with the world at large through the use of a blogging platform. It’s really cool, to say at the least.

Thanks! I enjoy your blog and your community, and I’m flattered that you enjoyed my post =). I’ll be waiting for Update #2 next week to see how this is going for you =). With any luck, you’ll find suitable bean replacements (well, or get used to it!).

There, Lucretia, nice to meet you.

You’re right – I did miss the whole point – I didn’t even realize I had misread your comment about the status of Alexandria’s relationship with Jim.

I actually woke up to the “mis-labeling” she gave herself (“Jim’s Husband versus Jim’s Wife) and alerted her to it.

Her response was she did it on purpose for humor purposes and said I could leave it alone even after I offered to fix it.

Thanks again for the moral support here – it’s an interesting journey to say at the least! I’m doing pretty well so far – not straying far off course and actually enjoying it. Stay tuned for Update # 2 next week!

LOL. Actually my sweet friend, I’m not really “suffering.” It just looks like it.

But there’s no going back – I remain steadfastly committed. I want to see how this turns out but thanks for the compliments.

It seems like a catch 22 situation you’re describing here. The desire to open a restaurant that provides healthy food, which would certainly attract a following but maybe not large enough to sustain the bottom line – which is indeed unfortunate.

Love having you participate here! I really enjoyed reading your experience in hiring a cook. I even announced it to my Twitter community since I liked it so much.

But I think you still missed my point
“Well, if you go to her Facebook profile, you’ll see where it says relationship status: “Married to Jim Bouchard.” That’s where I got that from”
- no matter what her marital status is, SHE isn’t Jim’s husband – she might be his WIFE, but she’s definitely not his husband… As in you posted “she was not only a fitness trainer but also Jim Bouchard’s husband” – replace husband with wife, or put that Jim Bouchard is her husband and you’re good to go, but you had a glitch in your wording there.

And my name is Lucretia. Good luck again with your journey, you can do it!
