Happy June

Today I start my 5 Tibetan Rites challenge. For those of y’all who are unfamiliar with the 5TR here is a link that explains how it’s done.
http://www.freedivers.net/documents/The%205%20Tibetans.pdf

This is a form of yoga not to be meant to a substitute for the yoga practice I have come to love and that I’m getting better and better at. These are 5 poses that are designed to rejuvenate not exercise per se.

Right now I think I’m going to do it in the morning. Y’all know with me that’s subject to change. Especially since June is going to be a crazy month for me. There is S&P mid month and then less than a week later…… ! I’m keeping that to myself for a minute. Let me just say I am ecstatic!

So this month as far as fitness goes, I’m still walking and still doing yoga. I’ve put the weights down. They did nothing. All that walking has to be some type of lower body muscle workout. I mean joggers don’t necessarily do a lot of lower body work. I used to run in high school and I never did a lot of weight work on my lower body. Every now and then I can see myself doing the crazy 690, but not regularly. Maybe by July I will have some assistance with weight training.

I won’t be updating like crazy like I did in May. I don’t think that I will need to. I will do it weekly because the 5TR is a rejuvenative progress. Also I plan to be high raw. While writing my builds in this blog, I was reviewing other blogs. I noticed that people always rebound back to their original state when they stop eating raw. I’m not looking forward to that. But that has a lot to say about raw-foodism vs. the standard vegetarian diet. I mean I was already going light on processed foods, but just the addition of heat will cause me to lose all the fabulous benefits that I have gained? Not really comfortable with that.

So stay tuned good people. We shall see how this works out for me.




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
