151. Re: new phase
I'm still eating green smoothies, fruit, and nuts and a large salad at night.
I started doing the 5 Tibetan Rites again. This time I went right for the 21 reps rather than working up to them. I never reach my goal if I try to do it gently. It's best if I just do it; start where I want to end up. I was really sore the first day. I took a day off, then did the 21 reps yesterday. I'm not

It's amazing how we beat ourselves up like we do. I know for myself, I wouldn't talk to anyone the way I do when I'm being so hard on myself. Glad to know that it's passing. Sounds like you were feeling really down.
Glad to hear you're doing better. And what suncloud wrote: congrats on the street test!

Hi Jody. The way I make my dolmas is by using the wild rice recipe I posted above and roll them in grape leaves. That's it! Sometimes I make a dip with hummus or a lemony-olive oil sauce. I just make it up as I go. No recipe really.
Right now I'm drinking green smoothies regularly and still eating a large salad at night. My favorite fruit smoothie right now: bananas, orange juice and melo

Thanks, Suncloud. Dr. Schwarts looks great at 82. What muscles! I also have upper body weakness. Sometimes I get into weight lifting with my 10 lb ankle weights and at other times I just can't excite myself to exercise with them. I hold my ankle weights and use them like regular weights.

I celebrated by eating raw dolmas with wild rice, something I don't normally eat. They were excellent. I haven't had any kind of pancakes for Fat Tuesday sense going raw. How do you make banana-flax pancakes? They sound good. I can try them on a Sunday, which is a feast day.

Hi Sharrhan,
When I read your comment, my thoughts were that you really care and your intentions are for wanting the best for me. So, I looked at the message as being given with love. Plus, I aggree that we are one with the universe and the Spirit/Source/God/Higher Power and therefore agree with your statement.

Thanks, Sharrhan! Sales are slow and we're really concerned about how we're going to eat while we're there. We're hoping sales pick up. We figure selling stuff would work better than asking for donations all the time. On the other hand, all donations we recieve are tax deductable. Please let all your friends know about our sale and web site.

Hi Sharrhan, So cool that you joined a jazz band. I'm going to be teaching flute at the Episcopal school this semester until I leave for sabadical in April. The thing is, I'm really not as good a flute player today as I was 30 years ago. But, it's an opportunity to practice and improve. At least I'll be teaching in the elementary grades so I still know more than they do. It'll also be interes

Hello everyone,
I went to help out at a youth camp a couple of weeks ago and was able to eat salad and fruit everyday. Raw food vegan is not something understood by Panamanians. When the cook was preparing my salad I gently stopped him from boiling my carrots and cabbage on the first night. He then understood and gave me raw salads of tomatoes, cucumbers and carrots for lunch and dinner. O

Hi Jody and Pam. Those are great ideas. I eat green smoothies as my first meal of the day. I have tried mixing several veggies and/or fruits together for my salad dressings. They taste really good, including the one you suggested, Pam, but as a dressing really lack something for me and I don't enjoy the salad. As much as I love green smoothies, I really want to chew my last meal of the day a

Hi everyone,
I must say, after trying to go oil-free for 10 days and after eating my good, but oil free salad, I decided no more. Even though I liked the dressing, I had a hard time eating the salad without oil. So, I'm eating salad with oil or nut based dressing again. I'm still dry fasting in the morning.

No oils, no avocados, no nuts, no salt, no spices, no herbs. What I found the hardest was not having oil, nut or olive, on my salads. There's something about a nice nut dressing or olive oil based dressin
