Day 5

May 22, 2008 09:43

I recommend a cleanse or fast for any person who prefers being in their mind rather than their body. I'm way more comfortable being in my head but this diet is forcing me to be more aware of my body, to be more in my body. I feel much lighter without sugar/wheat/dairy. I definitely have more energy. My body absolutely feels healthier.

The whole lightness sensation is really weird. Jd is experiencing it too. She says she's not sure she likes it but that's probably because she's so light to begin with, she probably thinks she's going to float away like a balloon. I weigh at least 20 pounds more than her though so for me it feels cool. Kind of like I'm hanging out on the moon or something. My cleanse is having an affect on the earth's gravity.

Yesterday I didn't eat lunch, just snacked on some raw nuts.

Sugar fantasies continue. Pancakes with warm maple syrup are big right now. And pupcakes (that's what the little girl JD babysits calls cupcakes). Mmmmmm pupcakes!!

For dinner JD and I ate:
-cauliflower and red beans in a garlic jalapeno sauce (I'm trying to be creative here, people)
-baked turbo fish
-steamed greens with olive oil and lemon

Our treat was chips with some sugar-free salsa and a protein shake with soy milk.

Today I'm going into Santa Fe (seems I only journey to civilization once or twice a week) and getting more straw bales. When the straw is laid out it's really pretty, all golden colored and soft. It keeps the mud under control when it rains and it's cheaper (and prettier) than gravel.

Here's a picture from the "kitty play" series I posted yesterday on flickr. Isn't Abbey Tomato fierce??
