DAY 34 - LOW FAT, HIGH CARB, 100% RAW ORGANIC VEGAN 80/10/10 

About 6 years ago I went on a vacation and didn't really have a great time.  My friend in Sacramento was scattered and not feeling well and was fretting about her DH or her disabled son the entire time together.  Life happens.  When I returned at the end of May that year everything in my cleaning business was a disaster.  I let go of 3 clients and another one of my clients died.  That was simply the beginning of a long series of bad happenings.  All of it accumulated emotionally and ended up showing me that I needed to change drastically as a person.  I complied and everything turned around and actually improved remarkably.  I have had pretty much 6 years of a very strong business without too much in the way of problems.  Until this summer.

Of course my health wasn't the best since 2003 and I was working a very physically demanding job 65 lbs overweight and in poor health.  Not a great combo.  Fast forward to November 2011 when I began my journey to health.  I let my cleaning business take a back seat and worked a slower schedule while I recuperated - doctor's orders and I was ok on that.  Now that I am cleared for a full schedule and my health is superb I need to scramble to get my cleaning business back running full steam.  This is the summer and most people are not wanting to consider hiring house cleaners until the vacations are over and the kids are back in school.  Of course that is also right before holiday season starts and then EVERYONE wants help! LOL 

I've been pounding the streets, going door to door, delivering flyers left and right.  I am getting calls and going out to meet with potential clients.  This is the week of a holiday and so things are a bit slow.  Yesterday morning my phone had 4 messages on it.  1 message was a cancellation of a regular appt this weekend, another was a cancellation of a potential client meeting.  2 strikes.  Then another client postponed her cleaning until the following Friday, strike 3.  Then a re-scheduled potential client meeting was a no-show on his part, strike 4.  Then the icing on the cake:  I got a formal summons to appear as a witness against my bi-polar neighbor and her damnable howling hound from hell.  She likes a theatrical show and wants to prove before 12 of her peers - yes it is a jury trial - that her innocence was violated by me, her bitch of a neighbor, and her heavenly dog never barks!!  LOL LOL   This I expected when I signed the statement to have her cited and she is fighting it. 

Oh well, this is the culmination of another Summer From Hell.  This one I'll call Part 2. 

Life has it's ups and downs.  Cleaning up your diet and living habits and being healthy and fit does not stop life's lessons from showing up.  In fact you are much more sensitive because your mind and emotions are clearer and sharper.  You are much more intuitive and you feel feelings stronger.  Read my blog from yesterday to understand the process better. 

Life also goes on.  Bumps in the road use to derail me and throw me into a tail spin.  Now it is simply almost a non-incident.  Yes, I acknowledge what is occurring.  Yes, I admit to my feelings.  Yes, I also find out why the situations and people are in my life and what lesson they are serving up to me.  This is the path of internal healing.  This is my path. 

As to what I ate yesterday and my stats:
9 cups of my ABC smoothie
Watermelon
Tons of Water
Fettucini-Alfredo with red leaf lettuce, tomatoe, asparagus and avocado and alfalfa sprouts. 
12 dates! 
Cron-o-meter stats: A Whopping 2745 calories! Woo Wee!  86.1 carbs/9% fats/4.9% Protein
81.3grms fiber / 95.9% sodium - too low. 

I did 2 laps of mall and 2 stair cases and 1 hour of walking in the sunshine and fresh air.  I got my exercise for sure.

Thanks for reading my blog.
