I have discovered that I possess iron will power and that it is my time to make full use of it. Doing anything but is unacceptable for my life.
I have discovered that some times I have to return to the drawing board, as I did this week, when it comes to my eating routine. I ate chocolate cake and an egg breakfast (among a few other cooked/not-so-healthy foods). None of it was all that satisfying & when I woke up this morning, I had aches in my body and felt really stiff. That was enough confirmation for me.
So, with a little bit of loving help, I returned to that board and came up with a smoothie regimen that I think will work. You see, preparing all your food is not only work but it takes time to get creative so you don't get bored. Super-food smoothies & huge salads are on the list for the next few weeks. Smoothies are great because you can mix it up.
As a base, I love:
- Frozen blueberries
- Raw cacao
- Spirulina
- FIltered water
- Raw honey (Raw Macuna Honey from New Zealand is some of THE BEST you can get!!)
- From here, add, change, enjoy!
I have discovered that my purpose, more or less, is to become the best health coach & energy healer (BodyTalk) ever.
I have discovered that a base of raw foods is the only thing a person needs to start healing. Don't go all raw or put a percentage on it. Just pick up some freakin' fruits and veggies and put them in your mouth. Along with that, I've discovered that I haven't been eating enough fruit. I've read fruit is great, fruit is bad, fruit is necessary, fruit has too much sugar.
I like fruit. Fruit feels good. So with all due respect, shut up.
I've discovered that no one actually knows what's good for my body. Except me. That's kinda a bitch. I mean really, I was just hoping to have someone else tell me what I should do, when and how and why so I could go on mindlessly doing it. Sorry Terra, that's not reality. That's not reality unless you want to be a mindless, neighborhood-mind-absorbed, brainwashed, smelly person. Which, by the way, I don't.
I've discovered that someone's got to say it because most people don't know and the one's who do aren't really talking.
I've discovered that most of the media is brainwashing you.
Most marketing is trying only to sell you, whether it benefits you or NOT.
That the largest corporation selling & promoting organic food has their own brand that is produced in China.
That everything that claims to be USDA Certified Organic and that comes from China is total B.S.
That everything that claims to be USDA Certified Organic and that comes from the U.S. is total B.S. NO ONE regulates that. It costs $800 or more to become certified, so the little guys can't do it. They want the farmers money and don't give a rats behind what they put on the products. That stuff at the large grocery stores that is the size of your head, is not in fact organic. If it's waxey, waney, coated, bloated, it's not organic. Mark my words.
Buy local. Seriously, save yourself.
I've discovered that I love living alone. I love myself and I love you.
I've discovered that I love being around people, meeting them, learning about them, exchanging experiences and journey's.
I've discovered that it's not about being perfect, it's about invincible determination and nothing short of it.
I've discovered true, divine love.
I've discovered me.
This is one of my favorite posts yet. You listened to your body after testing it with "crap food." you are such an inspiration to everyone around Terra!
ReplyDeleteAnd I am sure all the local farmers are thanking you for educating people on the smoke screens around some organic products. We are a little more strict in Canada with organic standards but it is so important to support local.
I went to a panel discussion after a viewing of Food Inc. at the Sustainability Dept. at Dalhousie University here in Halifax a couple of weeks ago and something they said hit me. They were talking about buying local and how in Nova Scotia 80% of our food is imported and how most Nova Scotians purchase this imported food thereby not supporting local industry and shutting down our farms.
I made an oath that day.
Let's make the questions "Who is your farmer" become as popular as the question "who is your doctor." So this spring I am going to introduce myself to some farmers and meet my direct new food source.
Your words inspiring me to piggy back on your comments and remind people to think bigger picture and globally about where there food is coming from. I don't know about you, but I feel a lot better knowing Joe and Jane from the farm outside of town are providing my produce and meat!
thanks for letting me blog on your blog!
I am happy you've discovered something worthwhile - the only good thing I've discovered is chocoloate and honey which I get from pyrenees honey. Your smoothie sound delish!
