Ok, just some musings.

Sometimes people have written in my journal and you know I read them but I have never replied, I'd never really noticed this before and I am sorry if I may have offended anyone in doing this.  When I first started keeping a journal they were for the 'owner' only to write in and I guess this just stuck for me because I come and go so much!  Please don't be offended if I have not returned your questions or answered you.  I am always popping into the boards reading things and catching up on events but I guess I'm not much of a talker, more a listener.  It will be interesting to see if this changes at all too.

take care

I am very well and happy too  thanks for understanding.

Anyway, I had my son take some photos of me yesterday in tight clothes that show all my lumps and bumps  and I will post them after 30 days and after I take a 30 day photo (or when I have another photo that actually looks better).  I just can't post it yet because it makes me feel down and I want to feel up so I have to have a more positive photo to see my improvement, does that make sense..

My goals are:

Skin Healing
WEIGHT LOSS
Energy returning
To regain that peace of mind feeling
To feel happier
To sleep better
To feel cleaner
To become fitter (exercise)

This is my overall 12 month goal.

I'm not sure of my weight at present, my scales have broken (mental note, do not put scales where kids jump on them) but I'm guessing around 140 - 145pds eeeek at 5'2".  I want to be between 115 and 120pds which is about right for my height (or when I'm comfortable in my weight).  So I have about 20pds or so to lose.

I don't expect this to take 12 months of course but the skin and other things may.

What a lovely day it is today, a little breezy but still very nice.

My pizza bread is dehydrating and filling the air with lovely smells   ummmmmm  I like to eat it as is or with a little tomatoe and basil on top, it's more like a raw vege burger thing.

My daughter has been vegetarian this week and now her face has broken out, I told her it was probably a detox thing, she's not happy.  She's off to camp next week and wanted to be 'healthy' this week because she knew she would have to eat 'slop' next week (as she puts it).  It will be interesting to see how she handles that change, I'm hoping when she returns she might decide to return to vego rather than go back to meat!!!! 

My eldest son went vegetarian/almost vegan early last year after he got a part-time job in an Organic Butchers.... I was sooooo glad.

Just some more musings.

Have a lovely day, I'm off to eat a banana.

bye

Day Nine

Beautiful smoothie - coconut milk, blueberries, banana
Fudge
Banana
Mandarin
Fudge lol
crackers with tom and avo x 5
lots water
fudge lol
salad with pesto mushrooms (not dehydrated)

Well I've had too much fudge today just over half and I'd probably eat the rest but I'm not going too.  It was the size of a large chocolate bar (not any more) lol, it's sooooo nice.

I might keep that one for special occasions, not an everyday thing as that's all I would eat.

Feeling a little tired this afternoon (probably fudge overload) and I actually slept in 'til 7.00am this morning.

I noticed this morning that my teeth ached when I woke up which has never happened before.  It's nice to be writing in my journal again.  I really must get to weighing myself too and perhaps some measurements.

Have spent most of the day cleaning house, having the kids at hom sure makes a mess so I got them to help me with some chores before they go back tomorrow.

Day 11

Feel wonderful..... didn't sleep great last night at all yet I still feel great, this is such a change.

Smoothie for breakfast, banana, blueberries and 1 date.
Three flax crackers with avo on top (crackers are about the size of an average slice of tomatoe)
Mandarin while wiping out the fudge bowl (whoops, where did that come from??)
Lunch will be crackers with avo and tomatoe

Have a wonderful day all

Fudge bowl, what fudge bowl...

Thank you so much Berrybliss, I really appreciate the encouragement.  I've been reading through your journal (slowly as I get stuck drooling over the pics lol) and it's wonderful to see where you've come from to where you are now, wish I was in Adelaide for that Potluck.

Lulu...I am so happy for you, you are sticking to such wonderful days of raw, you sound so positive...you are detoxing...you are being a fantastic example to your family.... 

I can wait to see your pictures at the end of 30 days...I will definately be here following up on your journal each day. I am jumping for joy that you can see your clothes fitting better...wonderful feeling isnt it.


got an inspiration link for you...

Hello, 13 days for me now, yeh.

Went to my parents today which was really nice, sipped on a little warmed green tea with lemon, nice.

I weighed myself and I'm 148 pds which is heavier than I originally thought I was, eeek, it's ok, it's all going to come off anyway, what's 10 pds anyway, lol.

Seem to be eating alot this week, always nibbling due to my monthly coming this Sunday I guess.  I always eat more this week but it took me a while to figure it out so now I have to make sure I have plenty of yummy foods in the house at this time, which reminds me I must make some more crackers today or at least soak the flax for tomorrow.

Feeling great, ear still blocked which is not only driving me batty but the kids also, irritates hubby also, pls pls unblock now, now, now.

Skin feels dry today because it's windy outside, have ordered some coconut oil so I'll try taking some of that and see if there's any difference.

Green smoothie this morning for breakfast, warmed green tea, handful of nuts x 2, lunch was two nori rolls with the rest of my guacamole, lettuce, spinach, tom and cucumber (love these).

I must try and drink more water, I'm struggling to drink 2lts a day at the moment so I really need to increase this to move things along.  Having about 3-4 bms a day (sorry if too much info) so cleansing is moving along nicely.

Oh, dinner last night was salad with mushrooms stuffed with guacamole.

Ok, gtg take care everyone, bye
