RtR: Day 2

This is my official first update. I will do the updates the day after so I can journal what actually went on. Even though its still Day 2, I'm done eating and getting ready for bed. So here goes.... I feel like crap and I wanted to share.

I have a headache. A bad headache. An all day headache. I only get headaches a day or two before my period. I have always joked it is a reminder for me to go buy pads. My cycle isn't due for 2 weeks so this is detox.

My body hurts too. Thighs are killing me. Sunday is a complete rest day. So no yoga, no weights, no walking, no nothing. Just rest. And I need the rest because I am exhausted. From what? No clue. I slept a good part of the day yesterday. I assume its detox.

I saw a picture of my face that I took on Friday and I must say. I look tired. I didn't feel tired when I took that picture, actually I had recently woken up, but I had dark circles under my eyes. I'm hoping that the raw food and exercise puts a kibosch on that foolishness. I'm feeling sensitive about my age.

I have had lots of water and have stopped the excessive urinating. So I'm not dehydrated. I have been mindful to keep my eating up so I don't go into starvation mode. 6 small raw meals a day. Also, I have noticed that my patience is paper thin. PAPER THIN! I wanna slap folks around more so than usual. So... I'm staying away from people and choosing the calls I take.

This is what I ate today.
Fruit salad
sliced apple with almond butter
3 pieces of raw bread
ranch spread
1 sliced tomato with pepper
grapes
I drank 100oz of water, 1 glass of lemon/honey water and a glass of rejuvelac

I made my lunch for tomorrow. Fruit salad, kale salad, grapes and almonds. I'm planning to eat nachos with flax chips for dinner. But I am going food shopping tomorrow so I just might eat at the food spot.

Normally I would 1.5 miles after work, but the meteorologists have predicted that it will rain cats and dogs tomorrow and I just don't like being wet like that. So I plan to get my cardio in a workout. Tomorrow is upper body.

Okay I'm going now. My head is killing 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
