DAY 69 -- HIGH CARB/LOW FAT RAW ORGANIC VEGAN - 80/10/10 CRON-O-METER
Today was a very busy day. I had 3 clients in both businesses! I was pumping it! I also was very hungry and had a whole small avocado and still stayed very good within the 80/10/10 parameters.
I have been presented a very good mirror - as we all are - with a mentoring student. I am seeing my reflection of how refusal of change goes against my desire TO change. When I say no to doing something in my best interests, I am saying no to life. This has been a great lesson for me and one that I will have in my conscious mind as a reminder.
My sprout farming is doing excellent! The Easy Sprouter way of sprouting is incredibly easy and I'm enjoying it. All the new seeds are sprouting beautifully well. I'll finally have a viable crop of Alfalfa and Clover by Tuesday. My lentils and mung bean mix are ready to eat tomorrow. I'll be planing my first wheatgrass tonight! I'm stopping by the North End Organic Garden Center tonight and picking up more seed trays and a nice organic soil with kelp and bat droppings...LOL
Yesterday I ate watermelon, Banana-Citrus smoothie (5 cups), Proud Sprout Salad with Nan's. For dinner I had a huge heirloom tomatoe with sprouts and avocado-lemon dressing.

DAY 68 - HIGH CARB/LOW FAT RAW ORGANIC VEGAN -- 80/10/10 CRON-O-METER
Normal work day and sprouting farm day. I did start a batch of Alfalfa and Clover from the new seeds from SproutPeople.com. So far so good.
Nothing much to say today. Very busy in both businesses and with my sprouts and health and home life. Doing more research on sprouting and thoroughly enjoying my participation in growing my own food. Everyone should try it. I appreciate what the small farmers go through and the co-op. There is a lot to appreciate! Hard work, persistence, dedication and a lot of know-how and heart. Weather, watering, temperature variances all play a part in whether a crop grows, stagnates, dies.
We isolate ourselves from so much and say we are living.....HA! Eat 100% raw and do a 92 day juice feast detox first and then START your journey to LIFE. You won't believe the difference you will feel. Cooked food is dead food. Processed PHood is a fools adventure into slow death.
Yesterday I ate watermelon, 4 3/4 cups Banana-Mango smoothie; 14 dates; Proud Sprout salad with Nan's; Sunflower greens, mung bean sprouts, orange tomatoe with Cashew-Asparagus-Sweet Pepper dressing.
My Cron-o-Meter stats: 2641 calories; 87.1% carbs/7.5% fat/ 5.4% protein; Water:4556.8 grms; Fiber: 70.3grms; Sodium 320.9mgs.

DAY 67 -- HIGH CARB/LOW FAT RAW ORGANIC VEGAN - 80/10/10 CRON-O-METER
Some days feel like you are in a whirlwind. Not just of activities but also of twists and turns. That was my day yesterday. I know to a large degree of how to handle myself mentally/emotionally when this occurs. It still is an interesting personal dynamic. I was exausted when the day was over and it took a while to get to sleep.
I ate watermelon, 5 cups of banana-apricot-blueberry smoothie; Proud Sprout salad with 1 serving of Zucchini-Asparagus-Tahini dressing; 12 dates; dinner was a large yellow heirloom tomatoe with sunflower greens, clover sprouts and 1/2 serving of Cashew-Asparagus-Sweet Pepper dressing.
I tested out some more clover and alfalfa sprouts in my new sprouters. They did great until yesterday! I realized that the source of my seed was the problem! They were too old and were not sprouting correctly. Oh well! So, last night I switched to my supply of both from SproutPeople.com and again used the EasySprouter method. I'll keep you posted.
I got my orders in from both Sprout People and Got Sprouts?. I am almost ready to plant my 1st plot of wheatgrass! I'll start it probably tomorrow. In fact I'll start soaking the 1st batch of seed this morning. It takes a lb of seed to do a 10 x 17 tray. That's a lot of seed! That also is a lot of wheatgrass! I also received my wheatgrass juicer and various other types of seeds for sprouting. I'm placing a large order this weekend with Sprout People for more seeds.
My Cron-o-Meter stats: 2689 calories; 82.5% carbs/10.3% fat; 7.2% protein; Water: 4535.2grms; Fiber: 67.2 grms; Sodium 335.2mgs.

DAY 66 -- HIGH CARB/LOW FAT RAW ORGANIC VEGAN - 80/10/10 CRON-O-METER
Yesterday I had a morning filled with putting fires out in my cleaning business. Everything worked out, which they do always, now that I can think straight and have my clients interests as priority. I'll be honest here --- while eating a Standard American Diet people are drugged and emotionally taxed and they won't see it until they detox and switch to a living foods diet! I am amazed how often people say they "want" cheese, milk, etc., and actually it is an addiction that is running their choices.
I found a very good source for my sprouting seeds and supplies. I search for knowledgeable individuals who are INVOLVED and available and run their own business. SproutPeople.com is my source and I highly recommend them to everyone. Their seeds are organic and great quality, their prices are very reasonable and their shipping costs are NOT bumped up for their profit. I received my orders within a couple of days without any damage to the contents. They have Youtube videos on how to do the sprouting and if you need to contact them via email they respond that day. This weekend I am placing a very big order. I want a months supply of seeds minimum on hand in reserve and probably more like 3 months. It will take awhile to get to that point with all my other financial priorities.
They sell a device called an "Easy Sprouter" that is truly remarkable! I am using it for my alfalfa and clover sprouts. They sell them for around $14.00 each. I ordered 4 more. With the bigger seeds I am still sold on the glass jars. The issue with sprouts is drainage #1, and #2 is temperature issues. Since the outside temperatures are in the 100's the last 2 weeks I've lost 10 crops of alfalfa, clover and lentils together. That isn't acceptable at my level of needing to grow for my daily use. The "Easy Sprouter" keeps air circulation and drainage going on all the time. My alfalfa and clover sprouts are doing great and I'll be enjoying them tomorrow after a final day of growth. YUMMM
I'm getting excited about starting my wheatgrass growing again. I love wheatgrass juice! The supplies should be here by Friday and I'll start growing my crops this week. Yahoo!
My food yesterday: 60 ozs of water, watermelon, 5 cups of Banana-Mango smoothie; 12 dates and 2 bananas for snack, a wonderful Proud Sprout salad with red leaf lettuce added and Nan's dressing. For dinner corn soup. I need to change the recipe a bit. It was ok but not wonderful.
My Cron-o-Meter stats: 2841 calories; 86% carbs/8.5%fat/5.5% protein; water: 5241.9gms; Fiber: 74.1grms; Sodium:237.4 mgrms.
I hope you all are upping your calories through fruit and decreasing your cooked/SAD diet. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
