Jungle Janie's Raw Vegan Blogspot

Okay, I'll try to get back into logging other things now that I'm kinda' getting into the habit of the food... a bit.   Food: (everything is organic unless specified otherwise) 356 grams Starfruit (carambola) from our farm:   743 grams Sunrise Papaya from our farm: 451 grams Ladyfinger Bananas (forgot to take a pic of them-these are similar ripeness, a little less volume) these were from the farmer's market, and probably not organic: 1,125 grams Tangelo Juice ! All from our farm!!! Our biggest tangelo harvest ever! :) :) The first picture is of all the tangelos we juiced, and below is the juice it yielded before we mixed it and Darrel took half. The weight mentioned here is just the part I drank. I also ate some of the sections after juicing: Then I made a salad with the following ingredients: 442 grams romaine lettuce hearts (from store) 70 grams raw tahini? (from store) 342 grams tomatoes (from friend's farm) 78 grams Meyer le...

So, yeah, I've sucked at keeping up with this blog. Sorry folks. Life happened.. and death.. long story, lotsa' details, will spare ya'... I'm on the Mainland already, visiting relatives, and will be doing ambiance at FoodnSport's Culinary Workshop I all the way through Ultra Health and Fitness Week. It's gonna' be fun! :) Great to see everyone I haven't seen in a while and meet new terrific people as well! :) Food So, people often email me and ask me, "What'cha eatin' lately?" or something like that. So... here's a bit of what's on my palate lately. I've been going overt fat free for the last few months (except for about 3 times, most recently some olives on the plane...) and basically banana free as well. After almost 8 years of bananas being my main fallback staple food, and some troubles with the banana crops on-island causing the supply to be less than ideal, my body said it had enough of the HI apple bananas, a...

Sleep: almost caught up now! Yay! :) Food: breakfast: the rest of the melon we got Wed. (see video) brunch: equivalent of 12 or 13 bananas (was more, but eating around bad spots and all) lunch: about the same as lunch in bananas again... the rest is TBD... probably have the last 2 bags of garbanzo sprouts as snack w/son when watching SGU with him, then salad and/or tat tsai with avocado and lemon juice dressing or dip We took a video of the food we got this week and put it on my Facebook account. I'm embedding it here (below) too for y'all. :) Exercise: 5 sets so far of:    15 reps. each of pushups    10 reps. each of jump lunges    10 reps. each of jump squat foot clap thingies 2 sets of:    30 reps. each on Leg Magic    10 reps. each of knee-up with a little shoulder lift 4 sets of:    1 rep. of assisted chin-ups I plan to do 5 more sets of the first group (pushups, etc.) and one more chin-up throughout...

K, guess I didn't make it online last weekend. My hubby's computer went down and he's been using mine a lot. With two of us using the same one when we used to just use our own I got off-schedule. We usually do the computer things at the same time as each other. He's taking the cord apart and fixing it and such as I type. (We can't just go to the store and get another here, have to find one online and it takes forever and lots 'o bucks to get one here). Sleep We haven't been able to farm, still, due to all the rains here and how our new farm has been flooded for the last few weeks. So we've been working on things around the house and it's been great, however we've also gotten off-schedule with our sleeping. I think it's affecting our quality of sleep too. We're both starting to realize it and will be trying to ease back into something more regular again. Female I'm on day 8 of my cycle, there's a little boy icon on there. I haven...

K, so I'm on-track-ish for the Blogging so far... Yay! :) Farm It looks like we might have done our last farmers' market for a while, although we might have a bit for Wednesday. We're gonna' try... We harvested for yesterday's market hoping it'd clear up enough, but it didn't. The bridge was closed so we couldn't do the first one. The storm let up enough to go to the second one, but not many people were going out at that point anyway. There had been a lot of thunder and lightning in addition to the wind and rain and we don't usually get lightning, and even rarer is thunder with it. It started raining again and getting windy, etc. after a bit, so we left with lots of leftovers. Unfortunately we weren't able to preserve them, so they'll be future fertilizer via compost... Food Too bad about the salad 'cause I could use some salad right now. Oh well. I'll hafta' make do with something else. Kinda' a bummer to be combined with a s...

About Blogging K, so you wonder, what happened? Janie was on a roll again... Yeah, well, um... lots of stuff, actually. Sorry. I haven't been online much most of the time so it's been harder to do the blogging because of that. I'm thinking of doing audio or video blogging instead or in addition, alternating or something. Podcasts of sorts and all. My camera takes short videos fairly well and I might be able to find my son's digital audio recorder - both portable. I could do the blogs in-between stuff informally on the go... Hmmm... I think it has potential. I think I'll be able to do some of the FAQs with audio or video stuff too. That might get them to happen quicker than they've been happening. I have been pretty obsessed with knitting lately - been knitting pretty much every bit of spare time I have with my hands. I have also gotten into listening to Podcasts about crafts in addition to news and such as well. I just realized today that my son hasn't been ...

Sleep: up at 7am-ish Food: orange juice for breakfast, yellow dragon fruit a bit afterward the rest is TBD.. We're going to a potluck today that is encouraging people to bring home-grown produce so hopefully that'll mean lotsa' fruit! :) We're actually not gonna' be bringing fruit though 'cause none of our fruit trees are bearing at the moment, well except the lemon tree. We're bringing three salads ('cause there are three of us): one that's two of our farm's 5-lettuce blend bags' worth and perhaps some rose petals; one that's two of our farm's salad mix bags' worth with some edible herb flowers; one that's cubed chayote squash, lemon, katuk leaves & flowers, tomatoes and perhaps some rose petals - all from our yard, except the tomatoes are from our farm. I'll make two dressings for people to pour on separately: avocado-lemon and avocado-lemon-basil-chives. I'll blend the avocado and lemon to dressing consistency, ...

This was posted two weeks later and dated as if it was posted on the 29th, so the day of the week will show correctly and it keeps things in chronological order... Sleep: up at 3am to get ready for my shift at the gym - will be doing so all week... Food: ~7am: I found 3 mangosteen in the kitchen and my hubby said that I could have 'em. Yum! :) Then I had the rest of the starfruit from the day before: ~8:45am: When we got to the farm I had the water from two of the coconuts we got from our yard the night before: I had lunch a couple of times 'cause I was too busy to eat it all at once. It was all bananas from our yard: I can't remember what I had the rest of the day anymore and lost the pics later in the day so I don't have the pics to remind me. I think it was salad from our farm though. Exercise: Harvesting and light calisthenics as I had time, stairs and such at my shift at the gym... so not much, but I was still taking it easy with the jet lag and all. Detox: Yeah, I...

I'm posting this two weeks later, so I don't remember much at this point. I'm gonna' override the posting date so it shows up as if I posted it on the 28th though. It was my first day back, so I was short on food still and still jet lagged... Food: Breakfast was stuff I found around the house... ~10:15am: Star fruit - the first pic's what I started with and the 2nd is what was left when I was 'done' with the star fruit... ~10:30am: Then I decided to have some of the corn in the fridge 'cause even though I was done with star fruit, it wasn't enough calories. I find it hard to eat enough star fruit at times due to the waxiness of it. I realized that the corn wasn't fresh and I wouldn't usually eat it beyond the first day from harvest, but I was foraging so-to-speak, so I ate one to see how it sat with me. It did fine, so I ate another. The pic's of the second one and one like the first... ~12:15pm: My son told me that there were some longan...

Sleep: woke at 3am for temp., again at 5am and decided not to go in that early, again at 5:30am when hubby decided to get up and go in to the farm to get the harvest started, I decided to go in later on the bus... up at 7:30am to get ready to go in on the 8:30 bus Food Summary: Coming Soon! Exercise Summary: Coming Soon! Detox: Coming Soon! Female: 3am temp: 96.58 degrees Fahrenheit, day 13 of my cycle, red day, girl kid icon General Things/AKA The Rest: I think I'll put what happens in general here and the specifics in their own areas... so here 'goes! :) ~8:40am did short errand at the store then walked over to farm from the bus stop changed clothes and started helping with harvest ~noon finished harvest in the field, then helped with washing, bagging, loading truck and such for market ~1pm left for market, doing errands first We needed to return the shade structure we got last week 'cause it turned out to be too big for markets and was too hard to put up. We're s...
