Hello everybody!
Another hot sunny day (too hot for me).
Yes, it is the smoking I am referring to re: yoga. I appreciate you and Sundancer advising me to cut back little by little. Unfortunately though, this is not possible. It would be like a full-fledged alcoholic cutting back to one or two beers...impossible. Or they wouldn't be alcoholic. I am such a cigarette addict with all th

Hi Wildflower, nice to meet you! Pear trees, how lovely, and fortunate. Do you make smoothies? Pear smoothies sounds good. I am not into dehydrated food, never have been. Occasionally I have bought a little bag of dehydrated fruit, for example I bought some jackfruit pieces, to get an idea of its flavor. I usually reconstitute and use in smoothies...or most of it goes to waste. I don't lik

looking for job these days...daze
Money is short and I am not so well stocked in food. I am not eating as much fruit and there is the problem. I see a big difference in the way I feel. I also ate some cooked food the other day and am still feeling the consequences of that. It wasn't so bad on the stomach but getting through the rest of the system...I will go to the store and get some orang

I'm wondering where my comrades are. Just busy, I hope all is well.
I had a smoothie of bananas, grapes, and romaine. Ate some grapes.
A few hours later, made salad of baby spinach covered with processed carrot, beet, sweet potato, with a few olives and some diced cucumber and a couple walnuts---very filling.
Meditated some. Was not able to go to Satsang this morning, so I meditated w

Hi Sundancer, nice to hear from you again, you've been missed. Good luck with the new position, hope it works out nicely. It sounds like a good time to catch up and organize everything else around you, it's a good feeling to have as much squared away as possible as you begin a new venture. Let us know how all is going, as we've missed your presence! 50-75% is good. Do you feel any better whe

I am healthfully sick! Definitely in more cleansing/de-tox and now I realise I have been for at least 3 days...explains the awful weakness I felt in yoga class yesterday (body so heavy and muscles so weak), and the low spirit/depression, and lassitude, and ill-feeling last night. I feel it again, it started a few hours ago and I feel now quite icky. So he

Feel better this morning.
Grapes, banana milk, grapes, grapes.
Spent hours this morning in patio, sweeping, dead-heading, cleaning up plants, watering, spreading grass cuttings around. It looks nice.
Will make juice soon, carrot/beet/celery.
I think I may have been going through a bit of detox/cleansing yesterday. I felt not so good all day and by evening even felt woozy and ill, v

Difficult day. Difficult yoga....(very much what you talked about in your last post, S.) Stress on mind concerning looking for work, going back to work...very depressed.
Yoga today...much of my weak nature was in full throttle, fueled by depression about going back to work and wondering what it will be like looking for a job, and I skipped a lot of poses and cried through a lot of class.

I ate the stuffed tomato with two olives on top. Put 1/2 avo in the mix, so I've had all the fat I can have for the day, first fat in over a week, I think.
I took the watermelon out and it is room temperaturing. Cannot eat cold watermelon. Tasted it----which made me look forward to it! Good! So sweet. It is seeded, organic (of course). So that is for later...only fruit the rest of the

Yoga yesterday, after the break because of the fast, was extremely difficult. I was often in savasana instead of poses. I did as well as I could do, and lost a lot of toxins from all the sweating.
Today's yoga class was a different story...it was so good, I was so much stronger than yesterday. Wonderful feeling after it was all done. Now, a little tired, very very relaxed.

I definitely understand that, Soraya. I am often the same way. It's fine.
Grapes this morning (and had bm).
I feel very good. Went to spiritual meeting which was beautiful and just what I needed, like tailor made to me. Four of us went to People's afterwards and had lunch, and I went ahead and had salad. Had a prepared kale/golden beet salad and also took from salad bar some spinach,

Now night, only nine, but I am sleepy. Have had about 3 or 4 grape meals, the last couple were small....I am so full. I also did eat a kiwi, as I know they are so full of fiber. No bm yet. Perhaps tomorrow morning. I feel so satiated. There has been some gas, slight bloating.
Tomorrow is Sunday, so I am going to my spiritual meeting after a breakfast of....you guessed it: grapes.

I ate. A large bunch of grapes, purple ones. OMG, so DELICIOUS! I chewed SOME of them very well, some not! These are wonderful grapes, thank goodness: very very tasty, juicy, sweet, yummmmmmmmy.
I walked down to friend's, she is on phone, so I'm on computer with my grape report.
I feel so full. Am a little bloated. Am waiting.....
Will anything interesting occur?

Enema last night.
Gardening work this morning. Am about to jump in shower as I am wringing wet. It is a little humid. And I still have this awful BO, armpits are going to cause a 911 call. I feel good though. Good energy. Better than before the fast. Sleep very well, but then I always do. A few nights I slept 10 hours.
Facial tone and eyes look better.

Quick dash in here---5th day fasting. A friend called to go to lunch at People's so I went (had diluted apple juice for lunch). Was able to buy a huge bag Valencias. A few other things...several pounds of grapes, also prunes, romaine, and several other good items---for when I "refeed", which may be tomorrow. Also bought 1/2 watermelon of good red colour. That won't last long, so I

Hi Sundancer---welcome back. Great trip from the sounds of it, except for the fact you couldn't see your mother---hope she is better now.

Good luck with the job. Might as well take it (get more money?). On the plus side, will you have any more leverage to shape things up? It's never that simple. sigh. I have been procrastinating looking for a job. I am ca

Feel pretty good this morning, the easiest fast ever. Tongue is not even the usual "tundra", just lightly coated. No headache, nothing difficult. Maybe I should drink a little more water today. I have not been "trying" to drink water, just as needed. Will pay more attention to it today, thirst, desire to drink or not. What else can I do? Rest, read. I've been reading E

4:00, thought I'd pop in and see if Soraya is around.
Water water water. (I did have a couple swallows of coffee this morning, because it is such a habit and I am NOT going through caffeine w/d headache. A little while ago I had a couple swallows of tea, for same reason)
Water, water, water.

Yes you sound totally psyched! Super! Am so glad you are so enthusiastic and so superlatively satisfied and impressed with the KB workouts! I looked it up again this a.m. briefly...can see the attraction, but I don't think it would be for me. I better stay with Bikram yoga, it is enough for me to handle right now! And, because of structural weaknesses I wouldn't be wise to do the KB thing.

Yes, I did fast today---although I did squeeze a few oranges and diluted in water. Tomorrow I will try to just do water. Couldn't let go of the valencias! Also, the habit of eating is pressing! I am periodically "hungry" but it hasn't been that hard. It's boring. Now 7:00 and seem to be getting a slight dull headache.

You "spit out the language" very beautifully, you have such a lovely way of expressing yourself.
Good for you for wanting to get up early in order to do these things for yourself! You are so disciplined, it seems to me. Isn't it interesting combining the good eating with exercize?
This is definitely something I want to continue. The yoga is great. I may fast for a few day

Quiet day. Went to spiritual meeting this morning; afterwards we went to People's and I restocked on Valencias. I did not get any greens. I may fast. I got "sugar plums" and they are delicious, will finish all as they are ripe and I may fast. I bought three canary melons which will take a few days to ripen (since I may fast, you know). Also got some sharon or something like that m

But, I do feel quite a difference in body during day, housework, gardening---when I have to bend and stoop and such, there is more strength and flexiblility--there is simply better integrity of basic movements.
