DAY 26 HIGH-CARB, LOW-FAT, 80/10/10 PARAMETERS ---- MY NEXT STEP TO HEALTH
Yesterday I ate Watermelon, 3 bananas as snack, my ABC smoothie - 9 cups, 1/2 Fettuccini-Alfredo with Asparagus added (yumm!). My Cron-o-meter stats: 2110 calories; 83.1% Carbs, 11% fat, 5.9% protein. No exercise and this has to stop!!!! Eating overt fats and not adding extra exercise leads to problems. Time to kick my butt into gear and make exercise as much a priority as food and work and sleep.
My friend, Nan, wrote me a very sad letter yesterday. She is a dear and loving person. She openly shares on 30BAD and SparkPeople.com. She is doing wonderful on 80/10/10 and she is improving steadily as I am. However the 30BAD police force warned her that her calories stated in her blog were not to their liking and she was risking being kicked off the site if she didn't adhere to their policies. Now, mind you, I do understand adhering to the given rules. But when rules are religion and they circumvent being kind to others that is when rules need to be looked at more closely. That is when rules become laws and laws become God. THIS is not right. She was upset of course and is being careful now not to be open in her blogs on this site. That is their loss.
As to my next step in my healing process: My 100 days on this step will be ending shortly before a planned vacation to Sacramento, California to visit a dear friend. Her husband is tentatively going to Vietnam with some friends of theirs for a photo shoot. There is always a major chance that his plans will change and he won't go. She doesn't like being alone and I was going to visit her during his absence. It matters not if he is home except if he is my eating program will not be totally acceptable in their household. Again rules, but my love and respect for them is more important than my rules for my eating. So, because I am hyper-sensitive to processed foods, cooked foods, and phoods!, I will probably be on a 4 day binge streak. One bite and I'm a goner. Oh well.
After my vacation I will be back home on my turf and I'll set the standards for my eating once again. I will have 7 days of non-stop fruit and green smoothies with daily enemas and as much water and rest as I can get. Then I am doing another 92 day juice feast. This one should be much easier than my first. I am prepared for sure and I know what to expect $$$$-wise and time-wise.
My purpose is for healing my skin issues. I suffered 20 years of non-stop skin cancer issues. I have many discolorations and raised spots on my face from the pre-cancer lesions that are healed but not completely gone. I have sagging skin on my arms and stomach area. Daily skin brushing and daily rebounding will be added to my juice feasting along with daily body modality and walking the mall. I am not wanting to do this to lose more weight! But I do need to go down some more also on my body fat%. Exercise is a must of course and I need to get that pony reigned in right away. This should be interesting!
As always thanks for reading my blogs.
How sad that these sites try to control you. I wanted to join to gain knowledge. No only did I not hear from them twice, now I keep reading about people getting suspended. How can you help people if you suspend them? That's all backwards to me. What kind of mentor would you be if one of your students ate a steamed veggie and you said "your out, out of my sight cause I'm always right"
ReplyDeleteNo one or nothing is 100% right, we strive to be the best we can be, but by our own standards. I'm very disappointed in that site and the other one also.
Keep up your work Karen, we need you!!!

Tina, unfortunately for them and those they have problems with, they put their standards ahead of people. Again unfortunately, this happens too often in life. They are truly cutting off their noses despite their faces. People and kindness first and foremost is my moto. I too often fail at that and I learn every time I fail the price I pay to be RIGHTeous. People who put their rules before others are terrified of being wrong.
ReplyDeleteYou are correct that each of us has our own particular and unique path. I do believe though in certain fundamental natural rules of food. Those natural rules that we all know instinctively have been burried under countless other rules that happen to trap us in continued adherance through addiction to chemicals that undermine our health and our ability to truly know what our particular path really is.
Thank you for your support and your comments.
