2013 Goals

Peace. It’s a new year. And before I let the year get to far away, I want to publicly post my health and fitness goals for 2013…. (1) I plan to run more: that is VERY vague, I know. But it the general gist of how I want to do with my running (a) I plan to run a 5K at or under 30 minutes. (b) I want to increase the speed in which I currently run (or the last times I run) (c) I want to increase my distance. Right now my maximum distance is around 6 miles (d) And I want to explore running new routes. What’s the point of having all these apps if I’m not going to use them? (2) I am going to also do my standard 3 week juice fast starting February 27th of this year. (3) I plan to grow a vegetable garden this summer. From past experience, that requires a bit of exercise and I will be rewarded with the freshest of produce that one can get! (4) I’m going “high raw” this summer. I say I’m going to do that every summer and I start off with great intentions that fall by the wayside. I blame Precise. But it can’t be helped. He doesn’t cook and isn’t willing (more like is unable) to go raw with me. I know my responsibility to the relationship. I have been more successful at being raw in the past when I lived alone. You can do a lot of stuff when you live alone. But I wouldn’t trade what I have for what I had…. Let’s see what happens. And that’s it for 2013. I realize that I have gotten a lot of things in order. My life, my outlook, my diet, my weight… sort of…, my finances, most of everything. I suppose it has to do with me being in my 40’s. Reality sets in and dreams have either been realized or written off. It’s like those commercials for men over a certain age with erectile dysfunction. At some point you should no how to handle problems and situations. 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...
