DAY 40 -- LOW FAT, HIGH CARB 80/10/10 CRON-O-METER PARAMETERS 

I bought a new Omron Body Composition Scale.  It's not only necessary for keeping tabs on my own health indicators, but I use it with my mentoring students.  My old one was messing up all the time - it needed a vacation, LOL.  I like my new one it's easier to use.  I also liked my old one and finally got that back up and running and realized it was perhaps my fault that it was messing up.  I decided to continue using the old one for myself and use the new one for my students since it's easier to use.  On the old scale my body fat was finally down into the 25% range and that made me smile!  It's about time!!

I function on a very deep level compared to most people.  My thoughts are centered around spiritual/psychological ruminations for the most part.  I believe in striving to get my mind focused and keep my life on track.  It takes a lot to do just that, LOL.  Our minds are very powerful.  They run the whole show actually.  Yesterday I hit that wonderful "sweet spot" where I simply focused on what I was doing and enjoyed the activity.  No distractions, just simply "be-ing".  Everything contains it's opposite so after that wonderful respite some flotsum and jetsum came to the surface.  All of a sudden I had cravings for SAD that wouldn't go away with a wish and a prayer.  No, I didn't go off program.  It was very tough for me to stay clean and sober for sure. 

My afternoon was chaos and my schedule radically changed.  All of a sudden I had all this rage come up and a series of events happened centering around stupid men doing very inconsiderate and stupid things.  I lost it! Several times.  That lasted about 2 hours.  I had a private talk with myself telling me to get out of this rage and find some peace. 

When I got home I received a phone call and realized I was sensing something coming down the pike from my landlord. As soon as I realized that this was the key to my afternoon rage/funk, I accepted it and let it go and no longer wanted to bury my feelings in a cheese burger and fries.  Amazing how we want to drown our emotions in chemicals disguised as "food". 

For my eats yesterday: watermelon, 60 ozs of water, 6 cups of Banana-Mango-Kiwi smoothie, 5 cups of my V6 juice, Fettuccine-Alfredo with asparagus, sprouts, tomatoes on romaine lettuce, 12 dates.
