DAY 30 -- LOW FAT/HIGH CARB 80/10/10  ------  RESISTANCE HAPPENS

All who embark off the beaten path can truly relate to all the resistance from others.  Did you know that it simply reflected your own resistance/fear to change?  We, our minds, attract mirrors.  Our reaction tells us what the "reflectors" are showing us for our own life's healing.  Simple and effective and automatic.  We all play victims to our own tunes.  We don't want to be responsible so we pretend to have everything happen to us.  We are all children playing games.  There comes a time when we get bored with the games and want to really do something valuable with our lives and give instead of dog-paddling in the game of life.  I reached this point several times.  I'm upping the stakes right now, therefore the resistance is all around me and it seems it is all I feel nowadays.  It is a loud shreaking voice in the back of my mind shouting: " STOP!, or something horrible is going to happen to you!"

It's oppressive at times and hits in waves.  Why the onslaught?  Because I am challenging the status quo within my own frame of reference.  I want to be the best me I can be.  I want to lossen the chains of self-imposed bondage.  I want to let go of my own resistance to living my life in joy.  Therefore, since I have asked for a more wonderful life I need to see my resistance in my own mind first.  That is step 2.  Step 1 was to realize that I was holding myself back.  Step 3 is to view all the horror I see and realize it doesn't have to scare me anymore.  It no longer needs to be my reality.  Step 4 is to have a gentle internal smile and to take actions designed to improve my life.  Exercise, food, openingly caring, getting new clients in both businesses, being of value to all and above all else be kind and gentle. 

That being stated I am ready for more and that more is letting go of life-long patterns of holding myself back.  Of course I used others in this game.  Many others.  Many different scenarios.  All the same result:  I backed down or became very agressive and destructive and was victorious over the bad people.  Not any more. 

As to the demonstrated commitments for yesterday:  I exercised more at the mall.  Hooray!!  2 laps/2 staircases.  25 minutes.  Whooppee!!!!  Today I will do 3 laps/3 staircases.  I am committing myself to 4 laps and 12 staircases and to continue that daily.  Then I will add exercise in the form of body modality before the mall for 30 - 45 minutes each morning.  In order to help my body fat% to decrease I need to consistently exercise moderately every day for about 1 hr per day minimum.  I'm on my way.  This is of course in conjunction with eating a high-carb, low-fat raw organic plant based diet that has about 2250 - 2500 calories per day.  Right now I am averaging 2200+ and getting this up.  Thanks to my friend Nan's wonderful example and  results in her own program. 

Yesterday's Cron-o-Meter stats: 2372 calories 85.3% carbs/8.8% fat/5.9% protein.  70.7 grms fiber 144.3 mgs sodium.

I had loads of water, watermelon, 8 1/2 cups of my Ambrosia-Banana-Citrus smoothie.  I used 1 and 1/2 cups and blended that with 1 7/8 ozs / 53 grms Lacinato Kale for a green smoothie.   For lunch I had a very nice Avocado Tomatoe Burger with a new dressing: Zucchinin-Asparagus-Tahini.  A winner for sure.  For dinner I had Karen's Savory Korn Chowder.    I also ate 5 medjool dates.  Yummy!

Thanks for stopping by and reading my blog.  Please read 80/10/10 by Dr. Douglas Graham regarding the background for what I eat.  I do not follow his eating program by the book.  However, I do adhere to the basics: high-carb, low-fat and the 80/10/10 caloric criteria.
