Today has started out well......got up, did some house cleaning, had some gse to get down on my candida, made a green smoothie and will soon be eating a delicious salad of mixed greens, apples, celery, walnuts and raisins or currants....with a non-raw dressing Seeds of Change Greek Feta dressing. I have gotten out all of my raw food recipe books of which I have a fair assortment (oh the bad grammar....I know there is a term for the fragmented phrase I just wrote....but studying grammar was sleeping inducing to me.....so I have no idea...) anyhoo...plan to make some carrot zucchini nut patties.....and maybe a raw pie or two. So happy to be on track....back in the raw mode. Last night's dinner was indeed a pita pizza and it was indeed delectable......but I am now back on raw. And happy to be so.....so ciao bellas....have things to do......
peas, love and happiness

PEAS ON EARTH RAW FU CHALLENGE
I signed up for the Peas On Earth RawFu Challenge........it starts tomorrow. In anticipation of that day I have been eating high raw and trying to not eat sweets. I don't eat most sweets, but I do like very good ones.....and in a pinch will eat bad ones, however there has been a tray of cookies in the kitchen for the past couple of days and I have not even been tempted. I have however eaten more of the Mozart chocolates. Not alot....but my body is saying no more. I read a good comment on the RawFu site about feeding the body, not the mind. It is my mind that wants all that bad bad stuff. Silly mind.....must get back into the real.
So...today I have had one very ripe banana, have another waiting in the wings, ate some cocktail peanuts and some cashews......about a cup total....then bought some cut up cantelope for lunch...the big container....and I did have, I did, until I got careless and knocked it over, a large glass of cider. Raw cider. sigh. And the rest is at home. And I was going to use it to drink my MSM/BrainOn drink....which needs sweetness as the MSM is bitter......sigh. I will still drink some, but have to figure out a good way to add in sweetness. Don't have any stevia with me....may just have to drink it later. At home. Nevermind, silly me realized much later, after having eaten bad things (organic 'healthy' chocolate pop tarts NO!!!) that I have more raw cider...so did 2 green MSM/BrainOn drinks before leaving work. Feeling better already.
In my internet perambulations I have come across some good stuff....a couple of books I want to read, one......Living Beyond Belief...by Jaia Lee........and the other...Destiny Unveiled by Sylvia Clute. Can't find them locally...will have to go online and get from Amazon. Library no have, B&N no have.....they can order but Amazon have for half the price. so.....will do that.
Planning on eating one last cooked dinner tonight....not sure if that is a good idea....but I want it.
Oh silly mind.....you want it....you want you want you want.......I want contradictory things....I want to eat cooked foods that are yummy, I want to have the delirious experience of the natural high vibrancy that raw foods give you....I want to have my cake and eat it too.....hah!
If you can tell that I am pouting a bit, you get the star for today. I am pouting. Not about foods, but about my feelings. I am feeling a bit blue, feeling a bit sad for me.....like I am so misunderstood....that no one really knows me and if they truly did they would think better of me...like me, want to be my friend. That kind of thing...........a bit of sugar blues and a bit of my world. Which is why I want to read those books.....why I want to do raw food.....I want to change. To be my real, authentic self, to live my real authentic life....which does not involve hiding...which is what I do.....I hide my thoughts, my feelings, my actions,.......I hide my true self. And I know better! But I grew up hiding...........so still I hide as I haven't tried not hiding. Don't like the conflict. But hiding has it's conflict, only it is inner conflict instead of outer conflict.........and it is as bad or possibly worse, as it seldom gets resolved.
peas be with you

BABY STEPS
Well, yesterday was ok.....I took some of my E3Live BrainOn freeze dried flakes & MSM, twice, and I was in a pretty good mood.....but then I ate more chocolates and a quarter of a pbj sandwich....and my sinuses started acting up. Our concert was awesome......SRO....people were out in the lobby even, and my mood was ok...but it had been much better. Overall eating was fair. Today's overall eating has been fair to good........trying to keep it good, but I did eat 2 mini pb cups and a mini-snickers.....hope to end that sugar habit soon.
Kickboxing tonight........yeah. I'd missed nearly a month when I got sick....oh that was so annoying, but this is my 2nd full week back......we've been doing squat thrusts with medicine balls, and other exercises and my legs and arms have definitely been feeling it. But that is good.
Oh, and I signed up for Bunny Berry's 40 day holiday challenge........that is a great website....lots of friendly folks, great support........lots of resources, options. The 40 day Holiday Challenge starts this Saturday, the 15th of November......she previously did a 100 Day Challenge....I may start my own 100 day challenge.......but first, the Holiday Challenge....as a challenge it can be.
German Reber Mozart chocolates with the pistachio/hazelnut marzipan centers......oh my my. But they don't make me feel as good as being raw. They don't even taste that good to me anymore. They don't. Obsession over.
OH.....bad kitty peed in my closet last night or early this morning. Got my shoes too!! Luckily they were a cheap pair I could easily replace.....but I didn't realize he'd peed on them until after I'd put them on and I was running late.........so rationale went....they don't really smell (yet)....the shoe smell is stronger than the pee smell.......this only lasted for about an hour when reality took over.....so off I went to get some new shoes. First I went home, washed foot, put on new sock (it was only 1 shoe), put on other shoes, put pee shoes in trash......and went shoe shopping. I had to go home anyways as I'd left my insurance forms at home. Getting new insurance co. at work, forms were due today. Anyhoo.....rambling, but I went to Macy's found these awesome Bandolino's pumps with a moderate heel (high-ish but not too) gorgeous grey fabric with grey patent leather trim, on the clearance rack.....they fit!! I bought. Now I need a new outfit to wear with them, they are definitely dressy/classy.....awesome shoes. But not what I needed. So, I went to Famous Footwear and found these black slingbacks, also on the clearance rack, these seemed overpriced, but they were what I was looking for.......only ones I'd found.....and I needed them today, so I bought them. But I can't wait to put my other ones back on....they are sooo beautiful. I do not usually get so excited about these things, but these shoes made me feel like I'd put on the ruby slippers.
So..........2 bananas, a small caesar salad with croutons and chicken, 3 candies....and holding. I am making the family spaghetti for dinner, but I don't like spaghetti anymore....not sure what I will have. Raw options are mixed greens, green smoothie....walnuts, pecans, tahini....hmmm....but also have kickboxing......dinner will not be raw tonight. But hopefully it will be light and healthy and that will be good enough.

PROGRESS~E3LIVE MSM~GSE
Progress. Just admitting where I am, saying it outloud has helped. Yesterday was not a perfect day, but I did better. Today is starting out well, I have only had fresh fruit so far. There was a fruit salad left over from an event last Friday that was just sitting in the office fridge, so I claimed it and that along with a quart of apple cider will be my food for today. Tonight I have a concert to sing, so will get a salad after work. If I get sugar cravings, I have my gse tablets. I also have spirulina, and E3Live MSM and BrainOn flakes. I have given up on the E3Live liquids, as they just seem like so much swamp water to me, and don't do a thing for me.
Their MSM definitely works. It amazingly to me, got rid of a deep scar/wound that I got when I was a kid. I'd hit my shin on an iron bed rail, and cut it deeply, nearly to the bone. I had to go to the doctor and get stitches in it or something, and have had this triangular indentation in my skin ever since. But last month, after 4-6 weeks of taking MSM I noticed a scab there, and was surprised as I didn't remember bumping it again or anything, and when the scab came off I realized it was there because my wound area was filling in! There is no longer this indented scar.
As a matter of fact, you can barely see a mark there anymore at all...and until just recently I could touch it and almost feel the bone underneath as the skin was healed just over the bone with little inbetween. AMAZING!! So I will definitely keep taking the MSM. I also have a new bottle of the BrainOn freeze dried flakes, I think they are more concentrated than the liquid...so will keep you posted on whether or not I notice a benefit.
So today's goal is to be 100% raw. To get back on track and on that note, I need to plan my raw Thanksgiving. I don't think I will be 100% raw on Thanksgiving, but I can be high raw. I can make raw desserts and have wonderful fruit and veggie treats to eat, and wonderful nut pate's...
I never like the turkey meat much anyways but I love pie, I love cranberry sauce, I love the bread stuffing. I love having lots and lots of whipped cream on my pie. But I no longer like to eat too much, I don't stuff myself...but eat lightly and thrill in the knowledge that there is enough to have it for days.
I was going to write, 'trying to be good', but that is a dumb thing to write. Actually what has helped me is a book I just read, a novel, not the kind I usually like but it was ok, and it made me think about what I do for/to myself and has helped me to realize I am the one doing it all...........and that I can choose to do it differently. duh I know, but we do have to reaffirm these things to ourselves.
dream..............dare............act..................believe!!!!

INSANE IN THE MEMBRANE
Arrrrrgh! I have gone over to the dark side. I will admit it. I am insane in the membrane. Have scarcely eaten any raw food for over a week. sigh. Not eating alot of dairy, not eating meat, but my eating has spiraled out of control. I am in that insane zone where I am nearly incapable of eating anything truly healthy. Like Angela Stokes, riding her bicycle all around the town in Iceland over and over again to get the free treats to eat.......I am just stuck in this crazy rut. How to break out.....#1) You have to want to? hmmm will meditate on that one. #2) This one works best for me.......just say to yourself, yes, yummy chocolate for dinner, followed by lots of toast and butter yes......as you make yourself a salad and eat it. I think it's door number 2 for me..... as I can't think of a logical #3....I mean it is really a simple thing.....but sometimes the simplest things are the hardest to do.
And then I have done even more insane things like sign up for these 'free' weight loss products all which come with an iron anvil of a fine print that says you will be receiving more product monthly on autoship unless you cancel........but they don't give you any help with that part. And I ordered 4 different ones like that!!! Insane in the membrane. (But I will tell you if they help!!)
Ooooh....got some nice new flannel sheets at Target this weekend.....so soft they are and such a good price. Woolrich brand, with a small leaf/pine needle print on ivory....$25 for queen set and $15 for twin set....got 3 sets, for all of our beds. So soft soft soft they are...........I love flannel sheets....I even like them in the summer.
Fun fun fun.........we had lots of fun this past weekend. My husband is a professor and he invited all of the new people over for dinner....a potluck....and there were including us, at least 20 people, 2 toddlers (adorable 19 month old twin boys), a 3 yr old, 5 yr old, 9 yr old and our 12 & 14 yr old...I brought up a bunch of toys from the basement, transformers and the like and a bunch of stuffed animals including our large beautiful stuffed tiger. And, our house got totally cleaned!! It looks so good......floors mopped, woodwork & walls washed, bathrooms cleaned, clutter disappeared...... it is so nice to have a clean house....will try and keep it up better as I hate house cleaning.........but love a clean house. To get in the mood for this (my excuse) I bought a bottle of Gloria Ferrer Blanc de Blanc champagne.........oh it was soo good and I was soo bad...over the course of the afternoon and evening I drank the entire bottle myself...but this stuff was the real deal, real champagne as it is so light in the system....I did spread out the drinking of it over a good period of time, but it just didnt' faze my system at all....for which I am thankful. I love love love champagne....prefer it to just about anything. Why drink wine when a glass of champagne costs about the same and is sooooo good???
Am planning on another bottle for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's...and tis a pity my husband doesn't drink. So love it that I don't have to share.
So......being admittedly Insane in the Membrane.....but longing to be other....I will attempt to pull myself out of this awful rut..... but it is not fair...it's the holidays and Cost Plus World Market now has those insanely wonderfully scrumptious Reber Mozart Chocolates which are made with dark chocolate and a pistachio/hazlenut marzipan....oh they are soooooo good...........those and champagne.....oh I shall be thin I shall be good I shall be thin I shall be good....insane in the membrane....

~~~!!!OBAMANOS!!! ~~~
What else can I say? So.....juice fast is turning out to be only a half fast....will try again today. Good news is weight is down 2.5 pounds and while that is a key goal, it's not really my main focus. Or rather it should not be. I need to focus on eating healthily....which for the most part I do, but I have come to realize through the insights of others as well as my own, that it is the bouncing around, the yo-yoing with what and how I eat, that is truly not good. It causes damage. And I am at the age where damage control, damage reversal, is what is needed. Overall I look good, however I know the truth. I am not actually all that strong.....and need to be wise in my choices if I want my good health fortune to continue for the next 30-40 years, which I do.
So.......juice and spirulina today! And if I need more, it will be raw. Not like yesterday which was too perfidious to even mention. I know that is probably not the best use of that word....but it is such a great word. Perfidious.
I colored my hair today, I usually go for red with blond highlights.....today's color is more of a chestnut....with the highlights.....it's highlighting as I type....will see how it looks. I naturally have little gray, mostly at the temples, and my natural color is more of a chestnut auburnish brown, but after the most recent coloring which ended up being much blonder than I have ever been before, it is a bit of a shock to look in the mirror and see the darker chestnut color........quick, get the highlighter!! lol
My most favorite online thing today was on www.afterdowningstreet.org They had a 5 minute YouTube video of people celebrating in front of the White House. Yeah! Wouldn't it be so awesome if we could just throw the bums out immediately?!!?!?!!!
Ay thinking about them almost made me say some bad words.......but I am all nice and gracious now...wouldn't want to ruin it first day out. But they won't be missed and truly belong behind bars. They are criminals, thieves, liars, murderers.........they are.
And on that note I say Obamanos!!! Who is not perfect, but as he said, it is we who have accomplished this, and we are responsible for keeping him accountable, for working for the change we seek. And as the famous one said......it starts with ourselves.
Have a glorious wonderful peaceful awesome day!

And I guess I should be happy that gas was $2.29 when I filled up my tank last night but my honest response was WTF???!!!

CANDY-DA ~ FASTING ~ OBAMANOS!
I wasn't wanting to have anything political on here, but I just have to say it. Obamanos! We were in Northern New Mexico the weekend before Halloween, and saw these wonderful Obamanos! signs, large, like yardsigns....and we just had to have some. So we tracked them down to the wonderful owner of the signshop that made them, in Chimayo, right near our Bed & Breakfast, and brought 50 of them back home with us, which have now been distributed all over. Yeah.
I was having so much trouble with my cold...it came directly from my sinuses...I remember the night they drained like a faucet down into my lungs....and became bronchitis...but it is/was a fungal bronchitis, not viral or bacterial, but fungal, as in Candida, as most all sinus infections are yeast/fungal in nature...and so...the antibiotics only had a limited effect. In desperation, as it was not going away.....I tried my old trick with Candida.....and I ate sweets, fed the Candida, and low and behold....it felt like it went away. I don't really think it left, but it did stop bothering me. How wierd, annoying, contrary is that? So....between being sick and eating cooked foods and needing to eat sweets to stop this stupid cold from ruining my life...I have fallen. However, today I started a juice fast, of apple juice as it is the easiest for me to do, to get me back on track. I am drinking raw, unpasteurized apple cider, though I did start the day off with cooked apple cider as that was all that was in the fridge. Now I am drinking raw unpasteurized apple cider and also taking 12 tablets of spirulina twice a day, and will add some fiber in to keep things moving and do this for at least a week. Then it's back to 100% raw.
My sinuses are acting up due to the sweetness of the juice....so shall have to see if I can do something about that...see if they will behave. I will admit to not having a perfect first day, I ran out of juice, I was going to get more over lunch but I stayed in doing work instead, so when I got hungry I ate some chocolates. But I bought a gallon of raw cider after work and will definitely buy more tomorrow so I do not run out, so I can do this properly. My weight is up, my mood is just okay...I am trying to become a nicer person, less focused on the negative, less judgemental.
I am a nice person, but I do get judgemental and realize that I have gotten into some very bad attitudes/habits that I am really ready to let go of. I want everyone to see, to know, to feel, that I am nice......from the get go. I want to be nice, gracious, loving, all of the time, in all situations and circumstances.
ciao bellas!
love peace & happiness to all

But I bought a gallon of raw cider after work and will definitely buy more tomorrow so I do not run out, so I can do this properly. My weight is up, my mood is just okay...I am trying to become a nicer person, less focused on the negative, less judgemental.
I am a nice person, but I do get judgemental and realize that I have gotten into some very bad attitudes/habits that I am really ready to let go of. I want everyone to see, to know, to feel, that I am nice......from the get go. I want to be nice, gracious, loving, all of the time, in all situations and circumstances.
ciao bellas!
love peace & happiness to all
Alessandra
