DAY 44 - HIGH CARB, LOW FAT, RAW ORGANIC VEGAN 811 CRON-O-METER

Today was a day filled with blessings!  After I made the firm commitment to begin outdoor gardening and a request for help in learning how to do it, took actions directed at achieving same, the Universe opened up for me.  My sprouts are legendary! It's as though they are growing stronger and more vibrant each day to celebrate my commitment to self-sustaining food growing.  Surely a sign that I am on the right track.

I made a salad that I would have paid $25 for at a seaside restaurant called "The Cottage" in Laguna Beach, California.  This was one of my favorite spots.  In fact the moment I took my 2nd bite of my salad I immediately in my mind was there!  LOL  My salad was made with sunflower greens, mung bean sprouts, alfalfa sprouts, tomatoes and Nan's Sweet Pepper-Tahini dressing.  It was so good I had to share it with my friends so I did! Everyone went UMMMM - gosh that is good! LOL 

My 2nd blessing of the day was a visit to a gardening friend of mine who wanted me to pick up some lettuce from her garden.  She was home and we discussed so many things about gardening, raw food and the like.  I spent an hour with her and we even went out and harvested more from her garden! She gave me seeds for dill and also a wonderful magazine: Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds that is making me drool every page I look at!  It even has articles with pictures on how to harvest seeds from produce.  A triple blessing with her for sure.  You can order their catalog which is free from
:www .rareseeds.com.  I'll be ordering seeds from them soon. 

On the way to work I stopped off at a locally owned small gardening place and talked to the owners.  I purchased some small dill plants and soil and pots.  I will be planting the 3 starts today and already have my supply of dill in the frige waiting for use. 

At my last clients house she left me a rare note thanking me for my hard work on 2 projects.  That was a first and I've worked for her for over 15 years! 

When my mentoring student arrived last night she gifted me a wonderful garlic bulb that needs to age - on it's stem with the tip - which can be used in recipes.  What a treasure!  She also gifted me some other herbs from her garden.  I gifted her some things I had picked from my friends garden and we both were blessed!  We also had a marvelous session with a deeper understanding on the level of commitment from her on her path to healing her entire life. 

Yesterday I had 80 ozs of water, watermelon, 5 cups of V6, 6 cups of a wonderful Banana-Citrus smoothie, my infamous sprout salad, 12 dates, 2 bananas, a small salad with mixed greens from my friends garden, cherry tomatoes, avocado, alfalfa sprouts and Zucchini-Asparagus-Humus dressing.

My Cron-o-Meter stats: 2974 calories!!! 83.9% carbs/9.8% fat/6.4% protein.  6621.5grms water, 110.6 grms fiber(this was higher than it should be because some of what I track is juiced), 845.3mgs of sodium.

It was a wonderful day!  Thanks for stopping by and reading my blog.
