Well hello! So I have been trying to my blog, but my camera isn’t letting me transfer pictures… I am trying right now though, so hopefully after I write for awhile they will load.
Day 2 & 3 were, well, a change from the past couple of months. (PS! My camera is working.. Yes!)
Let’s start with Day 2!
Monday: Day 2
I woke up early, did Tibetan prostrations and wrote my heart out. Then I made a tasty smoothie of: grapefruit, stevia, water, ice cubes, hemp seed, mixed greens and spirulina (delicious). I had classes all day, a conferences with a prof, a workout and then I went home where I did a lot of homework!
The difficulties about Day 2: It was hard getting myself to bed at 11 PM. Really difficult! I am used to staying up until 2 or 3 in the morning, but a little David Cross reading is what eventually seduced me. I also had a huge detox headache. I hate that, but I am glad I am detoxing a little bit. The headache did, however make my homework more difficult.
The positives: I had a great workout!! (shoulders) I got a lot of homework done. I am less “addicted” to being online all the time. I got a lot of sleep and… I am on the right track.
Day 3: Tuesday:
Day 3 was just amazing. I woke up at 6:30! Can you believe it? I drank water, did Tibetan prostrations and wrote, wrote, wrote. I then had classes and a scholarship luncheon which was great! Actually, it is awkward talking about yourself for 60 minutes, but I know how to do it so it was a good time.
I did some stretching and yoga at home and then had a wonderful afternoon/evening. I won’t write about it here, but it was great. It involved waterfalls, kombucha and poems.
So, I was able to have a great day, eat fairly healthy and get some stuff done. When I came home after being in the wilderness I read Flaubert in bath tub. Fun!!
Day 4: Today!
So I am figuring out how this month is working out for me. I feel like I am transitioning into it. Getting used to not being online all the time. Eating while not doing anything else is tough. Writing in the morning when I know I “have to” is tough. I feel like my writing isn’t as eloquent as it could/should be. I am sometimes not even thinking when I write. Maybe it will get easier as I go along. I have written about 7,100 words already! Gah!
I will say that because of the changes I am making, I feel so much more positive. Yesterday I sent a text to my family telling them to have a good day and my sister Tarah told me that it made her feel a lot better. Which made me feel good for doing something so miniscule and easy. It took me 30 seconds to text her, but it made a huge difference.
I have deleted so many phone numbers from my phone and that makes me feel really good too. Some names carry too much negative charge and I don’t want them even in my phone.
It is still early in the month and I have a lot of work left to do, so I should get off this thing and get to it! Everything is going well in my life. Yesterday was great. My luncheon went really well and the rest of my day followed suit. I have a feeling that today will be great in that it will be productive.
Today for breakfast I made the following smoothie:
Fruity Spirulina Smoothie
Blend the following (put in vitamix in order listed):
1 Cup of water
tsp of guar gum
1 tsp coconut oil
1/2 packet of stevia
4 ice cubes
1 banana
5 frozen strawberries (about)
small handful frozen pineapple
2-3 handfuls of mixed greens
While blending, take of the top and put in a couple of tablespoons of spirulina (this way the spirulina won’t get stuck to the sides of the blender- Thanks Anthony!!)
Another successful breakfast! But.. my camera isn’t working. So no wonderful pictures. I am so sorry. Maybe I need to buy a new one??
Oh and by the way you should really check out Anthony’s website. Anthony is really inspiring. His knowledge comes from all different sources and spans many topics including raw food and permaculture. He’s a really genuine, interesting person and he is often sharing wisdom through his blog. So check it out! His blog is truly a great resource for anyone that is interested in raw food, sustainability or just plain old inspiration. I really like what he and Dawn are doing and it’s great to know there are some amazing people in Minnesota.
Enjoy your day! Eat your algae! (My skin is getting clearer and clearer!!)
