Hi Free, might have to weight until next year in Sydney for the persi's unless they have them somewhere else in Aus or perhaps the northern hemisphere !

In other news...

Went for a jog this morning in the hills around here, it was pretty challenging, I have some new shoes thank goodness so it was like jogging on air! 
On rising had 1.5litres of water & Just enjoyed a GS with 8bananas and a couple of sticks of celery.  I'm going to start recording my food on Nutridiary, want to see if Im hitting the right ratios.
I got home a little late last night and had a fair few bananas in a smoothie as a result I had nightmares, this always happens when I eat too late...a lesson to remember. On the way home mum wanted to get dinner so we stopped at Sushi & she ordered a vego curry for herself & prawns for her boyf.  I walked upstairs after they had dinner and they were both holding their bellies saying 'I don't feel too good'....that dish being full of excito-toxins, fat, sugar, dairy and cooked within an inch of its life produces certain predictable results.  If I ate something like that now I would be in bed for a week with more than nightmares!

Hey Jen thanks a lot for changing the title, i want to be inspired & reminded of how important living in this moment is everytime I see my journal.  Seriously what else do we have except this moment??

Hi FL great to see you are posting again and cogratulations on your trip!!

Just a point that jumped out at me in your last post was the point that you made that over training made you tense.  Could you please explain, if not too personal, how that could make you tense.  Just thought it related to me in some respect and I could be possibly over training to achieve my goals and not achieving them.  Apart from a mental attitutude with me.  hee hee.

Thanks

Hey MissBliss! Wow I am so flattered that you are inspired! I remember back in July 06 when you helped me numerous times when I was first trying raw on rawfood.com, I think to all the times I looked at your page and thought 'I want to be like this lady...and she lives in Byron too!'  So I feel very privileged to be able to return the favour :-) Can't wait to meet you soon x

Wow, Freelea!!  Thank you!!  I had no idea that you found inspiration in me, in your early raw days!  I am filled with wonder and gratitude for how life seems to magically unfold such seredipitious shimmerings. 

and NOW your sharings are motivating me powerfully and drawing me further into the brightness of HERE!

The wonderful freedom that IS
when one is in full honour of life...
flowing light...
paradise in sight....
a choice in the sol aaaahhh night
to Be HERE, bright and as high as a kite ~

Thank you again for your sharings here...a gift of high inspiration indeed....thank you so much...

hehe...I am soooo saturated in gratitude right now....wow!!

Meeting you is exciting.  How wonderful, gorgeous one!

Free and in Glee,
in this Mellifious Sea

   awwwee...

thank you!

Hi annette, thanks heaps for the congrats :-)
Overtraining can definitely make a person tense, Im not sure exacty phsiologically speaking what happens but when the body doesn't get enough recovery time it speaks up!  There is a good chance the overtraining can also be coupled with a lack of glucose/carbs to the brain and a lack of hydration, all these major contributors to feeling tense/agitated/emotional.  The body grows and reaps results during rest and recovery, if the body/mind is constantly in training mode the adrenals will also become exhausted and eventually if we ignore the overtraining signals we will 'hit the wall' and instead of positive results, injuries will follow, fatigue/apathy/lack of motivation will set in,  and performance will decline, ive been there, I couldn't exercise for months once after pushing it too much.  Its not only a case of finding the balance between rest and play but also cross training so particular muscles don't get overused and mentally we stayed stimulated and enthusiastic.  Does that answer your question ?

Hi MissBliss :-D What a beautiful post thanku! I love reading your posts they are always so unique & special and your poem is just lovely. Its going to be a raw picnic to remember :-)

yes, I hit the wall and have been sick in bed for the passed three days.  I am needing to seriously look at my training at eating to fuel and recover.

thanks once again

Hey jen, when I say body/mind I was referring to them as one entity but I really believe a lot of us suffer from overtraining of the mind too and if we were to look at the body and mind being separate from eachother then it seems to be that the mind creates the body & is a physical representation of whats going on in our heads....so if we are stressing about something or not giving enough attention to relaxation of the mind then physical injuries will manifest.  I know when i get really into my exercise I sortof get a little 'obsessed' with it but in a healthy way, I just feel so amazing that my mind wants more of that pleasurable feeling....I really subscribe to the theory that we do things out of the need to gain pleasure or avoid pain so maybe you can see the connection here between you thinking about running all the time & the pleasure factor?

I guess it's more about being in control of your thoughts and emotions more. I'm so keen to learn this.

Yeah me too! Isn't it great to know we have the power to choose any emotion we want to experience in any given moment?

Hey there Annette, how u doing today? I am concerned to hear you hit the wall :-( but on the positive side sometimes this needs to happen before we really connect up enough pain to our current ways and change for the better, and then manifest the results we deserve. x

Hi there Suay! Haven't seen u lurking for a while :-(  Great to hear you are doing so well, you always seem to be aiming higher and higher.  Its awesome that the fasting is working for you.  I have opted out of the once a week fasting because of the backflip my metabolism did after spending 32days (not in a row) on water in the last 13months or so...understandably it really confused my poor temple so im staying away for now, I think if i ever fast again it will be a long one at a retreat.
Ah yeah love to sleep! I get 11 or so when Im training harder,usually bout 9 most nights, wake almost every morning on 7.30am.
Interesting visit to dad?...to say the least :-DDD
