1 and Done!

My fast is officially over!!!!!

And my sweet weekend is officially over too. There was a lot of eating opportunities this weekend. There was a lot of social equality going on in my cipher. I did my thing thing. But now that the sobering breeze is flowing over my head wrap I have to get back on the good foot and tend to my body.

Because I was fasting, I knew I wasn’t going to be physically able to overdue it this weekend, I wasn’t at all worried about my eating behavior this weekend. But now that things are starting to normalize again, I have begun to become concerned once more.

This morning I started to eat as planned. I juices some fruit, made my lunch, and have plans to eat a sensible salad for dinner. Also, I had an opportunity to eat a croissant and a danish. I passed on the danish. Not saying that was a better choice, but I am showing some restraint. I like that my skirts are loose and can wear my heels in peace.

I’m still drinking lots of water still. We’ll see how that goes….

I brought my lunch, which is leftover vegetarian lasagna. It’s good. Real good. The 7 will eat the rest so I won’t be tempted when I get home. Sitting in my home right now, is a banana pudding, 2 cakes and 2 bean pies. We had a party. I need to remove those from my preoccupation. The up side is my lunch is in those Tupperware for the rest of the week. I always over cook for parties.

I NEEEEED to get on an exercise regimen. For Real. I ordered Yoga Journal and have plans to make my at home practice real. It’s just a matter of WHEN…. I also plan to walk, but I don’t when on that either. These are excuses and not reasons. I realize that.

I did not do a liver flush. And let me tell you why. I was expecting something that did not arrive when it was supposed to, and their was the party. I’m always a bit ‘loose’ after a flush. So…. I’m going to wait on the Liver flush. Until I have a moment to really devote to it. When I have time, I will blog all about it.

I’m really satisfied with how my fast went. Something noticeable, was how clear my memory became. That is useful. Also, this fast seemed more about dealing with my circumstances by putting me in a peaceful place. And I needed it. All and all it was a rousing success. But I’m glad I won’t be doing this again until next year.

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
