DAY 47 -- HIGH CARB/LOW FAT RAW ORGANIC VEGAN 80/10/10 CRON-O-METER STATS

Well I can say for sure I am eating well! It's amazing how much better one feels when they eat ENOUGH and eat high-carb.  I can't really explain it in detail.  It has to be experienced.  It brings tears to my eyes to think that most "well fed" individuals are actually starving themselves to death!  And then it makes me angry to see so many well-intentioned individuals exercise themselves into very stressed out emotional and physical conditions.  No wonder the wealthy skinny bitches here in Boise, Idaho all look and act the same.  Kind of like Barbie on crack cocaine and needing another hit!

Yesterday more wonders came my way regarding my garden plans.  I have such a wonderful front porch area that I'm using it this summer and fall for planter boxes as a first go round for my vegie garden.  It has sun most of the day and is a large enough area to have up to 8 whiskey barrels filled with wonderful produce.  My herbs are out there right now enjoying the great outdoors and they have plenty of room even with the barrels.  I'll be getting my barrels this weekend as well as the tomatoe plants and soil.  Fun in the sun for sure.  We are in between seasons right now and in a month I'll be planting my late summer/fall crop.  See, I'm learning! LOL 

Broccoli sprouts:  don't ever try doing these in a glass jar! They stink to high heaven!  Instead soak them in water for 12 hours, drain well, rinse and drain again and plant them in soil with a light amount of dirt on top.  Within 2 days they start growing and they are cuties! So far I'm on day 4 and they are about 1" tall.  These sprouts have a bit of a bite and I will use them sparingly in my mixture.  They are also pricey little buggers as sprout seeds go.  Of course go organic! 

Yesterday I felt I ate like a queen: watermelon, 6 cups of Banana-Strawberry smoothie, 4 cups of V6, Sprout-Zucchini salad with a new dressing: Zucchini-Cashew dressing---very yummy!  For dinner I had a mixed greens salad (thanks to my friend's heirloom garden!) and another new dressing: Avocado-Bell Pepper.  Again, very yummy.  I also had 10 Medjool dates. 

My weight has gone up slightly from 108 at the start of this program 47 days ago to 110 which is still slender for my 5'2" height.  My calories are higher and I now need to do exra exercise.  This morning I got out of bed on time and after my kitchen duty I am heading for the mall to do that.  Exercise to me is my alone time away from it all.  I need that!  No computer, no cats, no phone, nothing except the joy of movement.  The GREAT news is my body fat hit a new all time low: 24.7%!!! Hooray! My doctor and I have a goal of 22% and I may just make it!  I'm half way through the program and I am feeling optimistic.  My weight goal is 108 or less.
