Raw Or Not Veggie Diet

     This is all new and wacky stuff for a girl who weighed 112 until she was 37 years old(at 5 foot 7).....and then over a 3 year period gained 40 pounds...who knew to look?...It has been a week. 


     So far now, I have found out that my cholesterol is up!!! Wow! (I went and had a blood chemistry done by my doctor.) This could be because of many things, but I know the true reason.....I have not been exercising AT ALL!!


     I mean not one tiny little bit......I have been soooo very busy that I have been at my desk as many as 18 hours a day and then only to sleep and back at it....This is ALL MY FAULT.  


     So now I have resigned myself to a raw diet and some cooked veggies, and a diet of exercise morning and night.  My exercising consists of speed walking 3 miles every day. At last that is what I used to do, until I quit exercising. So now I am back at it and working my way up to 3 miles...I can speed walk 2 miles in the morning and 1 mile at night. And I do this everyday, unless it is raining and then I do aerobics on the boat.  Did I mention that I live on a sailboat?


     The view is all too beautiful in the mornings at daybreak out at the outer end of the dock, that circles around the mangrove, the 84 slips are on the other side of. And I do have to say, there is nothing like sleeping on a sailboat.  I may never be able to sleep in a bed on ground again....but anyway back to my saga...


     All the exercising quit because when I was walking, I was on the dock and the dock is made of of boards, Now the dock boards are not even heights and they are rotting out now and they are going to be replaced. But in the meantime I am walking on the cement because I have caught my shoe on the board and gone flying through the air and fallen down on my chest more than 3 times. And then of course I am injured and have to lie in the bed and get well so that I can resume walking......I finally got hip to the board thing and now I am walking on the cement in the parking lot.


     I am exercising twice a day for at least 20 minutes both times...but it does not stop there....


     The last time I fell on the dock I landed again(third time is a charm) with both hands in front of me, ahead of me, and landing on my chest went sliding down the dock and am only grateful that I did not end up with any splinters. However, since then I am unable to get my right arm up over my head...and this has been going on now for 5 months. 


     I have seen a Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor who used herbs and acupuncture on me for 11 weeks. He did manage to get rid of my hot flashes that I have been dealing with for 10 years since I went through radiation, but my arm is only slightly better.  Now I have had 2 Cortisone shots in my shoulder and I have been using "Tiger Balm Arthritis Rub" twice daily and I am doing therapy on my arm twice a day as well(along with my exercise). 

     My doctor told me that if I religiously do my therapy and work really hard at doing it right then I do not have to have rotator cuff surgery on my shoulder...hey I am all for that....


     So now my days are clearly planned out...Oh did I forget to mention that I have to swim or at least do my arm exercises daily in the pool? And neatly in between all of this I get to fit in my work schedule. That makes it quite a fun day for me, every day. 


     I am happy, as long as I have a plan to keep me out of surgery, and the poor house these days. So I will see you soon with more about the on going saga of my arm, and my raw or not veggie diet.

Now that it Is All Agreed Upon....

As I was trying to get around in England so that I could see as many of the cathedrals as possible in my time there, I found that I had no grasp whatsoever on the "Tube" mode of transport; or the trains above ground for that matter.  But time will only tell if one has what it takes to transcend into the present surroundings and figure out travel anywhere, not just where you have come from.  

Now everyone knows there is no such thing as time, so it truly does not matter anyway.  What does matter, is that you take commendable care of the vehicle with which you travel through time.

Only your health will get you to your destination (as I am sure you have figured out by now) for without it travel is impossible (and so is anything else).  

I have recently been informed that way too many symptoms (which is what the current health system in America concerns itself with these days) of even the "chronic illnesses" are not caused by the illnesses themselves.  They are caused by something so simple, and probably not believable by most people......Allergies or sensitivities to certain foods are now causing the many symptoms to "chronic illnesses".  This is happening  to so many people that the health system will not even recognize this to be true....It is way too simple for them to believe....that by eliminating certain foods from ones diet, ALL these symptons will go away .....FOREVER.... amazing discovery...don't you think?

Well, I believe it is worth a try, and even I am going to eliminate all gluten from my diet for 6 weeks....just to make certain that I am being diagnosed properly.....Oh, that's right....I have no diagnosis yet......YES GLUTEN....and this will be hard to do but I can do it....It is possible....even for me......JUST WATCH....

I will keep you posted on all my activity and you can decide for yourself....you can actually do this with me if you so desire......here I go.............
