Almost

19 days y’all! 19 long assed days. Wow. Not just wow because of the length of time I have been fasting, but that all of the physical crap that I have been dealing with the entire fast.

This whole fast I have not felt well. I have a cold that won’t let go. Normally when I am ill, I fast. And in the 7 years that I perform this fast, don’t normally get sick. I have had this cold m(possibly detox) for a minute now. Today I notice a blemish on my face. I am almost convinced that it is hormonal.

I decided to start a liver flush. I began last night. No stones yet. I had forgotten that liver flushing could rid a person of allergy symptoms. I am anticipating that this flush is just what I need right now. I am not dying over the oil or anything like that. I really just want to feel better.

I have begun to cook. This morning I took some kale chips off the dehydrator. Made some raw pesto too. I have plans to make some raw granola, raw corn chip and a few desserts. Also a few salads and some stuffed grape leaves. I am very excited about eating again, but I am not excited about the thought of gaining the weight that I’ve lost. I’m have a goal of losing 25 lbs before my November born day. I must say that it feels good to put on clothes that were tight at the winter solstice that are now really loose to the point that they no longer look like my clothes.

Do I have a plan? Of course I do! My plan is to not eat every day and when I do eat ,eat raw… and… EXERCISE. That should give my metabolism the kick in the ass it needs. Will me energy y’all!


Peace.

Backsliding on Home

All right, all right….. I know I’m prolly setting myself up for failure. Especially since I’m about to go to Show & Prove; and y’all know how it’s done on vacation… But… I think…. I am going to get back on the “raw food” bandwagon. Two reasons. 1st reason: I feel guilty every time I put non-raw food in my mouth. And I try to rationalize it all out by eating a salad with it. Imagine how it all looks, BK (just an example. I don’t do fast food on the reg) veggie burger with cheese and all the fixins, onion rings (cause I only eat McDonald’s fries) a vanilla shake and a side salad. I rationalized that the fixins and the salad are raw and therefore count toward my goal of ‘high raw’. NOT. 2nd reason: And most importantly…. This morning I put on a dress that I couldn’t wear last summer. The dress was so tight I felt like a sausage in it. I almost gave it to Goodwill. But I wanted to wear a sweater today that I rigged last night and this dress was a good fit. I expected to have to wear al

"I Itch"

I have eczema. I have had it since I was a small child. My mother reports I’ve been spotted since infancy. I remember getting in trouble on purpose just to get the beating that would satisfy the itching for a minute. That weirded my Ole Earth out. I remember one of my godmothers used to slather me with bacon grease. She swore that that would calm the lesions. It did to some degree. But the dog became very friendly afterward. I still have outbreaks. Most of the time it’s a small outbreak. 80% of the time it occurs only on my arms, legs, and back. But it can pop out anywhere. Don’t sleep on adult eczema. It can get really bad, disfiguring and incredibly painful. I put it, mostly, on the weather. I usually have outbreaks in the winter or if I go somewhere and the weather is distinctly colder than my regular climate. I ALWAYS get something in the winter time. Whether it be light patches just where my bra strap rubs against my skin or all over my body. It feels like little need

Skirting the Issue

I put on a skirt this morning. That’s not impressive. I put on a skirt every morning. I don’t generally where pants outdoors. I pulled this skirt out of the dryer. Guess what? It is loose. Real loose. I am happy dancing. You gotta be mindful of the history of the skirt. This garment began its life as pants about 5 years ago. Back then I was still wearing pants. When I decided to cease my slacks wearing ways and actions, I did not want to incur the expense of having to replace garments that I wore on the regular. It made perfect sense, since I sew, to convert pants to skirts. That’s what I did with the skirt I’m currently wearing. The trick is the skirt will be a pencil skirt if you don’t have material to add. And who does? Also my skirts have to be long. (3/4) So I have these fitted pencil skirts that used to be pants hanging in my closet. They serve the same function that they did when they were pants. Maybe I’ll blog about why I don’t wear pants later. I said all that to
