Thanks for the info, Ladies! I used to go to Unity in Miami- which is obbe of the reasons I was curious. I doubt there are any here in Tokyo, though.

Starfruit, your day & food sounds awesome!!! We a ll fluctuate a bit, but it's ok as long as we are healthy & stay in the same vicinity, I think.

Keep it up. Awesome job.

Sach: Thanks love. Ooo i got my juicer. what do i do to make banana ice cream?
Inaia: Thanks. Yeah the weight thing is getting me a little. I'll write about that in a sec.
114.5 lbs argh
i ate soooo much today. Ergh and i had 1 vegan chocolate chip cookie. Although really small it made my tummy hurt and gave me a headache .I didn't even want it but they were going to throw it away at work so i ate it .Really silly. OK what else
1/2 papaya
1 watermelon juice
two plates of zughetti
4 baby macaroons
2 bananas w/almond butter and raisins
some raw ice cream sooo yummy
some eggplant w/tomatoe sauce and cashew sour cream
3 flax crackers
I think that's it.
Yummy day I'm gonna try ot do less tomorrow though.
So this weight thing. Well i don't really want to stress over it .Right now I'm tryign to just eat whatever i want os i can get out of this controlling mind set i have about food but then i gain 2 lbs in one day so it's like what to do? Any suggestions are so welcome.
I got my juicer today so i'm so excited about that.
I took a nice walk around the city tonight. Shorter than i'd like but i was getting chilly. I think i'm going to take dance tomorrow. I stopped dancing after what happened cause i couldn't face people looking at my body with so little on. I miss it though and today all i wanted to do was dance so i think i'll try. It just seems really scary to me.
I got this lovely email today from someone who is a healer in a way and gave me this advice that seems so easy but so hard. It was just what i needed. Here's a little of it:
Give yourself time. Give youself the time and space to feel....to feel as much of what you feel about what happened. Give yourself time to talk.
Also, take time to do gentle and restorative things for yourself, things that feel kind and warm and loving to yourself. Allow nature to also work to heal you. There are some beautiful parts of New York City, where grass and trees and sky and warm sun can help restore you.
Isn't that nice. There was a lot more to it but it just made me happy that someone seemed to understand just what i needed to hear. We also talked a lot about my loss of passion for theatre since i was raped. That has been worrying me the most. I'm struggling to get it back, but i always feel mroe artistic when i eat raw so maybe it will help. I don't know i know this doesn't ahve to do with food but i feel that we all know each other in a close way and this is a good place for me to let things out. OK sorry for long post.

Hey lovebug....well good for you doing so well!! eating the healthy foods and keeping up with it.....i am soo proud of you love!!! keep up that awesomeness....sounds really yummy your food!!!!
that weight gain is probably just a flucuation naturally from the fast you did..your body will readjust and gain some of the water weight back.....if you look up fasts it will tell you..so it is nothing to do with what you are doing or eating it is just natural but it will go back off!!!
keep it up

good for you going back to dance!! that is awesome..very big step for you!! and i am soooo proud of you hun!!! keep up that awesome attitude and if you need anything i am here for you always!!! just le me know what i can do!!! congrats and good luck on your class you will rock of course
love always

I've been thinking of dancing again too! I even asked my agent here to find some good studios for me. Maybe I'll even do some African dance! There are lots of people here from Africa who teach dance. It gets me in touch with my feelings & my body & my world and really centers me.

Losing passion for theater after the experience you had is TOTALLY normal. It is a very vulnerable & naked experience to act, sing, dance. That's why finding a way to get into it @ your own pace can be so incredibly healing.

BTW- it is physically impossible to gain 2 lbs of FAT in 1 or 2 days. IT is water and your body adjusting to changes. Exercise, move , breathe, meditate and you won't even have to check the scale. You will FEEL the crap coming off of you.

I used to struggle with my weight A LOT when I danced and that's how I got over it once & for all.

Just my pov. But you take what works for you & leave the rest. OK?

Keep kicking butt!!! Inaia

Hi dear,

Good news about the juicer...you got a Champion or which?
You are doing really well....don't worry about weight. When I do a little fast, I have learned to not even concern myself with what I lost during, as there is so much adjustment afterwards and a certain amount will come back very readily after resuming eating. Just enjoy your food -- and Juices -- and give your body the freedom to balance itself at its own pace.

I know, I know...easier said than done!

I was saddened to hear of your bad experience. I like what Inaia said.

Dancing IS wonderful. I should do that, as exercize...I used to put on classical music and do a lot of dancing...my "mock ballet"...great exercise and good for the spirit.

You take good care,
I am always rootin' for you,
Elakti

Man... i was doing a "craving seaweed" search on google and came to your page WOOHOO i love how "main stream" we are all becoming

i didn't read the last 9 pagess, but i found the part where you talked about craving seaweed and i am in the same boat... i bought a bag of frozen seaweed, but now realized i should have bought the dried stuff to rehydrate... argh...

this stuff i had to rinse becaue it was so heavily seasoned... i wonder how much i should eat? it kinda scares me becaues i bought it from a korean market an looks different than the wakame salad i get at sushi bars... i'm weird.. ye i know...

but i am picking out the pieces i like the most and investigating the rest LOL.. it's pretty cool how these plants grow undewater and the shapes and texture and such.... ne who.. enough of me for today

Love and Light

This morning my scale said 116.5. Is that possible? My scale hates me. Anyway I'm doing ok. Been spending a lot of time walking in the park. Oh man it's so beautiful and I really need to be near nature right now. Thanks for checking in all. OH I didn't end up taking dance cuase i couldn't find my other ballet shoe! Will buy a new pair tomorrow. Anyway have a good night. Oh and tiff yeah seaweed is so good .I havne't had it in a while maybe i should again. Enjoy.

hello sweetie. when i lived in boston i lived in a couple of places- i went to emerson so i lived in the dorms on the commons for 2 years, then when i was really poor (lol) i lived in allston for a summer, then when i was just regular college student poor i lived in fenway for a year. i really loved it there but i just felt that it was time to move on! i do still miss my early morning runs along the charles river- and being able to take public transportation! i would give anything to pay $40/month for transportation again- those were the days!

i'm glad you are ready to give dancing another try. that can be so therapeutic and healing in and of itself- just losing yourself in the movement, feeling the mind-body connection, and appreciating your body for what it can do. i hope you have a great time.

be patient with yourself. the rest will come back with time. i think inaia was dead on when she talked about how vulnerable theater makes you. take your time. you'll know when you're ready to go there again.

have you tried not weighing yourself daily? i know old habits die hard, but i really think it might be better for you to just weigh yourself once a week, or wean yourself off of the scale completely. you are eating healthy, nutritious, raw foods, you are in no way overeating, and you are young and active. there's no reason to worry about gaining real weight- our bodies naturally fluctuate and i just don't want you to be so worried about a couple pounds of water that will go away in a day or so!

hey hun..yeah hah we are always posting at the same time
but that is cuz we are in sync
take care hun!!
love ya

Hey girlie. Alcohol ALWAYS makes me bloated so I NEVER weigh myself after having even one drink. Again- it's JUST WATER and maybe some toxins that will come right out when you drink lots of water, eat well & exercise a little.

You are doing really awesome. keep us posted on the dance class, ok?
