My morning number is now at 95. That's exciting. It's been a month and a half off all medications and all is well. I feel great. No complaints. I find that if I don't eat anything after 7:00, my numbers are pretty nice in the a.m. I was stuck on 112-117 for a long time, but now my a.m. number is 95. I'd like to scream that from the mountain top!
As you know, I'm not a raw foodist anymore. I'm just not cut out to be one. I admire those who are and hats off to you all. I do enjoy green drinks and often have a raw drink for breakfast. And salads are wonderful, but oh so much more satisfying with some cluck in them. Is it possible for someone be 2/3 vegetarian?If you've ever seen the comedian Jim Gaffigan, one of his finer lines goes something like this: ". . . I'm not a strict vegetarian, I eat beef and pork, and chicken . . . but no fish, cause that's disgusting!" Then Jim talks about how vegetarians talk and how they brag about their status. The vegetarian says: " . . . I haven't eaten meat in five years . . ." Then Jim replies " . . . I haven't had a banana in a month (pause) and you don't see me bragging about it."
Weightier Issues: G-factor, adiposity, avoirdupois, gravity, gross, heft, ballast, burden, density, heftiness, load, mass, measurement, net, ponderosity, ponderousness, poundage, pressure, substance, tonnage, weight. There. I said it. Weight. It's a subject that quite literally makes me nuts. (It's difficult to kick those raw puns . . . sorry). I'm not good at losing weight, I didn't lose a lot of weight when I went raw for 30 days, and I'm wondering if I can ever lose it, but I know it can be done. However, it's time to move my extra tonnage to a better plateau, and respect myself a bit more by taking charge. At times I feel "it" has me over a barrel, but I'd like to have the last laugh. Without further ado, I shall make a contemplative effort, and begin by reporting in, discussing, and targeting my weight so I can take this heavy mess off my plate.
Until then, eat well to feel and live well!

Good work. I think you are eating right, your missing component is a legit work out where you raise your heart rate for an extended period of time. Also, if you build a bit of muscle, you'll be burning more calories faster. I suggest you spend some time contemplating, then IMPLEMENTING a work out plan, since it appears you really have this eating thing down pat (something I wish for myself!). Start with a work out 3 times a week for 20-30 minutes a day. That is literally all you will need. But, as you know, like eating, you can't only sometimes do that. You need to do it regularly, otherwise you will need to keep starting over. So make a plan by yourself and for yourself, that way whether you do it or not, it's on you. Start small but don't be afraid to build what you do in coming weeks. You have everything you need in a home gym. Perhaps training with a goal in mind will help. For example, you might want to sign up for a 5k in October, and work out to finish in a certain time. The key is not the time, it's really intensity. If you never push yourself, you will never change your fitness level. I think if you look into getting a heart rate, it might really help you see results faster..just saying and these are just suggestions. I wish you well!
