EA- Thanks for the continuing support.

Starfruit- Thanks for sharing that. I think that is super cool.

Anyway, was feeling REALLY thin today- like I lost more weight so I had cashews @ work- partially for the heck of it as I wasn't hungry for them and partially b/c I just felt so thin! Weird. Concern? Sabotage? Hmmmm... Not sureNow I sort of wish I hadn't eaten them so I could feel that thin. Anyway the rest of the day was good & raw & I went to the gym where I did some yoga in the steam room. That was NICE. I am feeling better too vocally. Still have a way to go but I'm improving. YEY for that!

Inaia--

You sound really good. Keep up the good work!

I had a dinner of guacamole that I ate with romaine lettuce leaves, .5 tomato, and celery...and there were 2 avocados in the guacamole! Two! It was so so very delicious, I was so hungry, and I am just going back to 100% raw, and it is perfectly fine with me. I may have the same thing tomorrow!

Anyway, just reading your journal and I thought I'd say Hello. Greetings!

Take good care,

Elakti

Thanks guys. I read a post from Bryan on my 'Too Many Avocados?' thread. It made very good sense and I think that my body is ok with a higher amount of fat right now. If I lose much more weight it'll be too much. I spend a lot of time feeling my hip bones and my ribs and they're pretty out there right now. Don't want them protruding any more. I feel good like this and I'm still getting used to it after having gained so much weight for a couple years. I had gotten up to 126 which is very large for what I'm used to being. I think I just need to take my time and maybe slowly reduce my fat intake and start increasing calories from other sources. I feel it's very important to have lots of variety and to move and exercise and breathe and relax and enjoy life.

Thanks, Starfruit. I'm doing everything in my power to stay centered and clear. Sometimes it's very challenging. Being over here can get very isolating if I am not conscious and aware and centered.

I am 5'5". What about you?

Inaia's Gratitude
Posted by: Inaia ()
Date: May 16, 2007 07:15AM

So I went to the gym today and did 30 minutes on the eliptical and then went to the hot tub and the steam room to help with my healing. I meditated in the tub and used my time on the eliptical to really visualize some of the things that I'm now choosing to create in my life and in myself. I am really happy that I got to really move my body & breathe.
It's been a rough couple of days with people showing sides of them that were scary and that sent me into a place of feeling a bit isolated again but I nipped it in the bud. I let that person get to me and scare me & I went into a defensive and angry place but I broke out of it and am creating again from the highest place of peace and power within me. I am proud of myself though because in the past if someone had said to me what that guy said to me, I really would've lost it and been very reactive-but I didn't. I kept my center & stood up for myself & made my point. That was big for me. Now I am reaching deep inside myself to connect with all my strength, power & peace to keep being happy & grateful & to continue creating my life as I desire it with all my heart.

I am SO happy and grateful that my "bf" was there for me when I called him. It was nice to hear his voice and that he was happy to talk to me & be there for me.

I am SO happy & grateful that I got paid on Monday. YEY!!!

I am SO happy & grateful that I sold a CD through CD Baby today! YEY!

I am SO happy & grateful that my voice & body are healing.

I am SO happy & grateful for my band and what amazing people they are.

I am SO happy & grateful for my job and for the opportunity to sing music I love for people in this beautiful country.

I am SO happy & grateful for everyone who helped get me here for this contract.

I am SO happy & grateful for the classes I am taking and for my growth as a musician, vocalist, business woman, person & performer.

I am SO happy & grateful for all the support am getting from you guys on this site!

Hi ladies. Well today was really hard too but being thankful really helped get me out of it eventually. Now I feel good. Really good. Work was great. My voice is coming back more & more. I got to spend time w/ a friend of mine today and that was nice. She's my only friend here due to my schedule but I have already contacted someone else who I will be hanging out with in the near future. She is a singer @ the place I used to sing @ here. She should be fun to hang with. I will continue to do my happy & grateful lists in the mornings. They get me in good, powerful space. I would do one now but I will save it for the morning and catch up on a few things now. See ya soon!

Thanks, Sach. Work was awesome tonight. More of my voice is back and it was a pleasure to sing & I had a ton of fun and lots of applause all night - which is always awesome. Took myself out afterwards for a glass of red wine and a bite- not all raw but partly and I just NEEDED to get out of the apartment- you know? may go out to a club where my percussionist is playing or maybe I'll stay in and go to bed early. Not sure yet. And by early, I mean 2:30m or 3 am as opposed to 5 or 6.
I'm going to try to bring my Mom here for her b-day in June too. Let's see what I can do. That would be nice.

Hi guys. I took my day off today to be OFF- FOR REAL. I totally ate some cooked food and even had an espresso. I want to go back to raw full force tomorrow-FOR REAL!!! But I met a guy in Ginza and we just hung out all afternoon & evening and it was so nice to have someone to talk to and chill with and go to places with- and to me, right now, that is a HUGE part of my health. So I can take a day in the food dept if it's going to have such a good effect. I've been feeling completely alone this week and isolated and disconnected and it was REALLY affecting my physical & mental well-being & health. So it was just really nice.

Last week had some VERY difficult moments- which is why I wrote less. With this Sunday, I am now focused on creating a week of health and inner strength and attracting good friends & & relationships & love & support to myself as well as excellence in my music and continued, increasing prosperity.
