Rawk On!

Peace Family!

This is Day 6 into my raw vegan diet. I have just one thing to complain/build about (depending on how you look at it)… God Allah Saves! Not a good look (or sound/smell). I’m assuming it’s because it still in the early stages of things, and my body is not used to it. I’m hoping the urges will pass. Meaning stop and not the other pass. I’m a lady. I can’t abide this for the long haul.

I have had prep going every single day. There is something soaking, sprouting or dehydrating at all times. I cannot allow myself to slip and be lazy. It will be that much harder to resume because of the preparation back log. I have a lot of staples in the fridge and even should the possibility occur that I might come home one day and just veg out in front of the Tell-lie-vision (and I 12 it) I will still be ok. Although, all this aggressive dehydrating has the dehydrator acting up. It’s not getting ‘dehydrator warm’ anymore. I need to give it a rest. It has been on for the last 3 days straight. But I have plans. Walnut taco meat for dinner tomorrow!

A light (really light) goal I have is to get back to eating once a day according to Elijah Muhammad’s Eat to live guideline. This eating plan can support that sort of. I can eat once a day and supplement the rest of the day with juices and smoothies. Hmmmm…. Is that in tune with the essence of the program? I haven’t completely aligned my thoughts on that yet. Not sure if that is a little too extreme. Plus I have pressing plans that would hold that off for a minute. But it’s floating in my subconscious.

I need to power up my exercise plan. I have been comfortable in my girly-girly routines. I have seen the form that I desire and need to do the work make that a reality. It’s not really super duper far from what I’m working with now. I lost weight while I was fasting. If I can maintain that weight loss, I’ll be there in no time. As always I consider jogging, but the consideration has always been safer than the activity for me. I got issues. And one of them would be why do I want to do something that has been shown and proven to cause me injuries. If I could figure that out, I could cure crack addiction!


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
