I keep waking up with mad energy. Excepting the morning with the puffy eyes. I blame the lo mein from my second dinner on the fourth. Since I haven't posted in a few days due to water damage on my laptop, I will have to summarize the revelations from the past week.
Thursday The 31st.
Cherries
Papaya
grapefruit and orange
celery and strawberry flax seed oil
beet grees with organic tomato
radishes
cannell beans and artichoke hearts
and wheat crackers. I wolfed down the salty artichoke hearts with the beans on crackers. I felt full for the first time in a while. Although my diet was good. The feelings that I was having were of pleasure and compulsion in eating those crackers.
Friday August 1st.
WIthout the computer I debated checking my horoscope at astrologyzone.com with my phone. Now that I have updated my plan and I don't pay 5/month but I pay instead 1.99 per megabite(100pages) I feel less afraid of wasting money. I had a nervous morning but a really strong morning. The eclipse was coming!!!! I knew Joe was out in the mountains now. I had
cherries
papaya with lemon
I went out and put the laundry in the laundromat and headed to Okay foods. Chris at Okay foods(sans handlebar moustache) remembered me and my massage work(not a client) I bought
brown rice
dandelion root
milk thistle
brown rice miso paste
I made a soup when I got home of beets and celery and onion and added the miso after the soup was boiled. I really enjoyed the soup. I feel like I did a million things. I was reading about nutrients while I ate. I still have not been able to accept that food can be eaten without a secondary activity. I paused and had the soup. Maybe two bites and the book was back in my face.
Aug 2nd.
I did sauna therapy on an empty stomach
I ate a big ol' brown rice and beet green stirfry
But then I ate Spinach artichoke dip with crackers(of course I made the dip but I added a hint of mozerella and more beans.) I drank sparkling cider. I went to Karla's party and abstained from all toxins. But even still, the wheat crackers or something made my tummy hurt. I was full. too full.
August 3rd.
I woke up very late(1 in the afternoon)and drank 2 mugs of hot cider with dandelion root. I was thinking maybe the dandelion root was causing pain because it is the bile emulsifier I had been taking every day. I went and bought Lethicin on Monday and now that is what I have been using as a bile flow stimulant. As I drank the hot cider I thought about my day. I had planned on hanging with the Crespo's extended family, but as I sat there in the peace of my morning I realized that I was going to be heading to my first session of Bikram yoga at 4 over in Hamden. SO....I enjoyed that reality and made a phone call to apologize for not going down to Pasadena. I felt good knowing I had said no when appropriate. In fact. Realizing you can't do some crazy ass driving to please the demons of social graces and having a sense about time are all very important elements to ingest. I only ate l ear of corn for dinner while writing a story about Mexico which I shared with Zelda's Inferno that ended up at Frazier's in Hamden. We had to have them turn up the lights, turn down the AC and I forget if we didn't bug them about the music. I was really into the story I was writing. The night was pleasant. I went home and read all three volumes of the Zeldazine and remembered why I like MIke Munro's poems. WHo the hell is Mike Munro? I mean, I know WHO he is, but WHo is he?
Nevermind.
As I went to sleep, tired, I felt good and empty in my stomach.
I woke EARly to a phone call from ALice.
I ate a bowl of oatmeal and blueberries and bananas talking with Anna and Maria from Spain. My stomach didn't hurt. I also had another Odwalla juice :) Alice gives out the old Odwalla juices, I had the Antioxidants.
After a long talk and some grapes off the the vine my mouth was a little burnt from the grape skin. I was actually very tired.
I bought the lethicin and flax and quinoa crackers
I ate rice
beets and boca meatless sausage(mmm but look 2% or less wheat and egg. I dunno...gobble..gobble
and some more flax crackers. and some more flax crackers
and I went to the Crespos's where I slept and ate the lo mein. I ate two oreos okay four. The Chocolate goodness!!!!
I felt like I was maybe allowing too much to enter me because it is offered by others. I mean. I picked the pork out of the lo mein and the chicken off of the rice. but I didn't need a second dinner. I didn't need to accept. Even JOe's father said, "don't over do it"
I took home the pickled beets Joe's mother offered me. She doesn't like beets. So I have more liver food.
I went to sleep after busying around planning for the next day's house cleanse(I'm moving back to Baltimore)
I also realized I can text to Mexico. GOd knows how much that costs.
I felt full and ickly. I knew that the next start slow.
August 5th.
long run in quiet waters
Protein beet shake with Apple and blackberry
lethicin
i massage at Swann Cove Feeling Extra tired!!!
miso soup with green onion and spinach carrot and radish and green beans
flax quinoa crackers with peanut butter(a whole lot)
FOur TBSP of old ice cream. Why? Cuz. SO what I said to myself, so what.
a whole chocolate almond bar!!! I needed the energy to pack all my books which I did. I also felt the soreness and swelling of pms. I am pleased that my hormones are being synthesized in my liver.
Drank Xloads of water
August sixth. (Today)
I woke up 6 and half hours later
I woke up hungry and was pleased.
I ate a beet protein smoothie and lethicin while on the phone with answering machines and computers. OOOps
I have to learn not to do that.
Still feeling tired though...hmmm......
Okay...now that I have documented a week's worth of observations and experiences I have to point out that I have been very successful and also that I have made a few slip ups. Here is the news and the reviews.
I dont think I needed to add the ice cream or the canelli beans(not easy to digest.) Stay with Garbanzoes and add broccoli sprouts. Beet greens taste so bitter and usually my stomach hurts afterward. Stick to spinach and add bok choy. No need for the chocolate em. The ice cream gave you gas and you know it. Don't ever eat a second dinner. Especially not lo mein salty goodness unless it is made with rice noodles which are hypoallergenic(no wheat) I am avoiding wheat. I think the sugar made me super tired. I dont know though. I didn't feel this way when sugar wasn't in me. THink about it. The two days when I consumed sugar I felt like this the next day. Experiment time!!! No sugar for the next two days.
Okay.....
