A good day!

Today is windy, rainy and gray, due to the edges of Hurricane Ike. I'm grateful we were spared a harder hit and send prayers and light to all those who got the full force of this storm.

I walked for an hour in the gray day before the rains came this morning, praying, affirming and allowing. There is always something for me about the green and blue, the canal, the water birds that brings me joy and peace.

My weight is down another half a pound today to 220.5. The downward trend is what I'm looking for. :-)

Today I've eaten:

*rawnola with almond milk, raspberries and strawberries

*piece of raw cheese with cracker

*one flax cracker with 2 T guacamole

*a chocolate 'shake' made with almond milk, a piece of frozen banana, 4 strawbs, 1 T each of maca and cocoa, and a bit of agave. luscious!

More later

Here I am on my raw and living path....

This glorious spiral path called life has a miraculous way of getting me ready to truly be in alignment with what I really want. I have been dancing with living foods for a few years now, and along the way much of my old SAD diet has lost its charm. I see now that 'eating what I want, not what I think I should' leads me to fresh, beautiful, alive foods.

I have at least 80 excess pounds to release. My health is excellent. I want it to remain that way or better. I want to move more easily and more comfortably. I want to be released from compulsive eating of any kind. And heartburn and the other bodily discomforts that, for me, accompany a SAD diet. I want the radiance and well being that eating living foods offers me. I want to live the new story of who I am and how my body is.

This has been a pretty joyful day, with the ususal and unusual blips and bumps of life, but nonetheless I get to choose joy and peace.

So besides walking in the windy, cloudy day, I was pampered by Roxy and Erica my favorite hairdressers, and got to talk on the phone with both of my kids.

Here's what I chose to eat today. And boy oh boy, did I enJOY it all!!

About 20 oz of fresh veggie juice: carrot, apple, celery, cuke, lemon, baby spinach

several handsful of red grapes

rawnola with fresh almond milk and sliced strawberries

small handful of pecans

freshly made guacamole with white onion on flax crackers

almond butter and honey on flax crackers

lots and lots of pure water

My weight is down from 225.5 on Friday to 221.0 this morning, Monday.

I've got beautiful food awaiting me for tomorrow. I am in a state of openness and receptivity for guidance about what to do regarding my son and his school. and I am grateful for everything!
I send prayers for the highest healing for my sister in law, Judy, and my friends: Linda, and Pam and all others who are suffering and wanting healing and well being.

And in the poetic words of my friend, Cornflower:

"Tears of Joy for this Miraculous Moment we all Breathe within Together!"
