RtR: Day 14-17

Yeesh!

Okay people. Here is my update from Day 14-17!

I have been sick. Real sick. I managed to get out of the bed on Saturday, but was in bed all day Friday and Sunday. You know. I ate very little, didn't exercise at all and drank very little water. I feel better today. Good thing since I have to work. When I'm sick I tend to hibernate and only eat enough to keep headaches at bay.

On Friday I ate an apple and some nuts. Same on Sunday. Saturday, I had some rejuvelac a big salad and lots of water. I drank a lot of the rejuvelac and it really cleaned me out on Sunday. But it came at a price. Weakness.

So today I'm back on the good foot When I awoke this morning, I did a cardio workout (I suspected rain and wasn't sure if I'd be able to walk) and the Crazy 690. When I got home I did some yoga. I had 20 8oz glasses of water. I supposed since I didn't really drink any water this weekend, I might have begun to be dehydrated.

I checked my measurements on Saturday. I lost one inch of tummy and thigh and 2 inches of hip. Cool. Of all the measurements, I have not lost anything on arm. So I have decided to change my routine some. Instead of doing 2 days a week of upper, lower and abs at two days a piece. I have decided to combine the lower and the abs and do 3 days a week of each. Also I upped the weights I have been using on my arms. I didn't feel like they were doing anything, but I wanted to start out slow and easy. I will continue at the same crazy 690 with heavier weights. When that becomes too easy I will up the reps before I up the weights. So I will be with the weights that I have for a minute.

I'm encouraged about the tummy decrease. The previous measurement is where they claim all this bad stuff happens to you. I'm glad that hurdle is passed. The interesting thing is my chest and tummy are almost the same measurement. I really am pear shaped. But I have always liked my hips. They used to be the biggest thing on me before my boobs stole that honor. I like my womanly curves... always have. I'm proud that I have the ability to gain attention from folks. Admiration from men, hate from women. But I only use my power for good.

Even though I don't like exercise, I have decided to continue it after the rod has been raised.

Okay, that's it for now. I will have a guest blogger for y'all... eventually.... I hope....

This is what I ate today....
raisins
dried cranberries
raw cashews
grapes
cherries

Don't judge, it was more than I have been eating.



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...
