What I am eating daily is a drag to focus on.  Or maybe I am just too undisciplined to keep track of all the details. I am certainly not following in the footsteps of my mentor.  I guess it's time to check out her blog again to get some encouragement.

Yes I missed entering a post yesterday.  I can't even explain it, but I was physically very busy.   I did follow my food plan though starting after a 12 hour fast from the night before.  1 liter of lemon water and plain water from rising, through a 1 hour Zumba class.10 -11 to my first food around 12h30 when I cooked up some mushrooms with organic red palm oil and had some cold boiled potatoes with a little butter, whizzed up a green smoothie with mixed greens, cilantro, avocado, protein powder, fresh pineapple, almond milk, a chunk of real coconut, water and some frozen kale.. I worked on an upper cabinet installation in the kitchen.  Drank more water and nothing else till  late supper: a big bowl of steamed broccoli and a mixed green salad with avocado, shallot, beets and soaked pumpkin seeds, cilantro.  Heated a small 2x2 inch piece of good quality banana choc chip loaf heated with butter, a yummy finale, and had 2 dates a little later on. Water throughout the day and so

Dec. 5th 2017     Day 2 of blog Hi everyone, universal wisdom and light of the world! Fasted 13 hours from bedtime to 1pm today.  Drank only lemon water and plain water with an iodine pill (b/c of using sea salt rather than iodized commercial salt). I felt good about that and then took a tablet of St. John's Wort, an anti stress plant put out by Vogel, half an hour before eating a single avocado and 3 peeled and soaked raw almonds. That was it until late dinner of roasted chicken in a salad of avocado, romaine, steamed broccoli with mayo and olive oil and sea salt.  That was satisfying but later ended up eating 3 small shortbread cookies (store bought ) and was happy I could stop at 3.  After that has about 50 grams of these other worldly organic Turkish figs, soft and sweet.  And that is it for the night.  Again I hope to sleep right through the night and eat only after 12 hour fast.  Will go to my fun Zumba gold class in the morning.  It's exercise I look forward to.  Hap

I am seeing signs everywhere that "Christmas is here", that "It's Christmas".  Well it's not. Christmas is not until the 25th.  I can already feel the pressure around me - people getting panicky about presents and decorations and of course  FOOD and family get-togethers. Well, I just want to fly above most of the crap of it. And no I am not a scrooge. But I am not getting presents for people who have everything already. Anyway what I really want to talk about is how I am struggling to stay the course on the eating plan I have been following for the past 4 months.  It has suddenly become hard for me. I think the reason is stress from both the seasonal change with less daylight and colder temps and Christmas pressures. I want to continue drinking at least 2.5 liters of water a day, 1 pound of vegetables and good quality protein 3 times a day and to ditch all sugar and equivalents, dairy and grains.  And now I'm told that beans should be eliminated unl
