Self-talk
If you have tried every diet on the planet, every exercise
program from the latest fitness guru and repeatedly failed to achieve
your weight loss goals you probably need a “check up from the neck
up.”
Successful weight loss doesn’t just happen. It took more than a
few days to reach the point where you are at right now. Give yourself
a break and expect it to take awhile before you see measurable
results. Take a leap of faith and follow some basic principles.
Begin with your “self talk.” This is the conversation that runs
through your brain continuously. What kind of conversation do you
have with your self talk? What type of negative self talk has kept you
from reaching your goals in the past?

Falling in love again- my new love
I've fallen in love- very unexpectedly. At my age, it's unusual to have this happen, especially so suddenly.
(Sighs, swoons, smiles and hugs self)
But, things crept up and I made some lifestyle changes
and now, I have fallen in love
- with RAW PAPAYA!!!!!
HA-HA! I am sitting here laughing, imagining all the people who are reading this and freaking out thinking that Jim and I had split up. HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!
Yes, I bought a 5 pound raw papaya at Publix earlier this week, and it has fed me for three days. I got the idea from seeing Joanna Lumley on a British TV show similar to "Survivor" except she was on an island alone. She is a vegetarian, and after several days of rice cooked in veggie bouillon, she dug up a wild Yam and found wild Papaya growing in the island. it really looked lush when she cut it open, and I remember her saying "That's the best food in the world" when she took a bite! It really ranks up there as at least one of the best. Also satisfies my sweet tooth, and contains papain, which is a natural digestive enzyme.
Noticing no chest pains and very few headaches this week. Not even my "Normal" headache of the day. BIG change from when I was eating mostly Bertolli frozen pasta dishes. I still cook them for Jim, and have a tiny tea saucer with a bit, so I don't feel deprived. I'm about 75-80 % raw foods.
I got paid today, so I will be back for more papaya later today. YUM-O!

Raw food diet- starting week two
So, I am still feeling pretty well. Got my Chocoloate flavored protein powder from the Raw Reform store. I was looking forward to mixing it up with ice and cold water and making something like milkshakes. UGH!!!! It was so bitter. It is made from raw Brazil nuts, raw hemp seeds (heh-heh) 
, raw cacao, raw maca powder, and a few other wonderfully healthy foods. A spoon full of honey went a long way to making it something palatable.
Blood pressure feels like it's down- keep forgetting to have a reading taken. Headaches are not as severe and no chest pains so far this week- very minimal chest pains last week. Compared to a month ago, this is a miraculous improvement, especially done by diet only and no surgery or prescription drugs.

Raw Food Diet- day seven
So, it's day seven. My daughter came for a surprise visit today! 
Cooked for Jim and Becca, who came down from Gainesville, and wasn't tempted to eat what they did. Had mostly raw fruits and veggies- whole box of grape tomatoes and a banana today, and some sushi. Sushi is partially cooked, and I do notice the difference after eating it- blood pressure goes up a bit, usually comes down when I drink a bunch of water. it would be best to go 100 percent raw, but my body isn't ready for it on a long term basis- so, I am sticking with 70-80 percent raw for right now. Still haven't eaten bread for a week, no milk products except for a teaspoonful of Jim's Pumpkin eggnog (so I could taste it and not feel deprived). Noticing that I can take a TASTE of something and then leave it alone without eating or drinking the whole thing. That's different!
Watched part of another Angela Stokes video over the weekend. It made a good point-quoted from the Essenes that "if you eat life you get life, and if you eat death, you get death".

Raw Food Diet- day six
Had some sushi last night, as a dinner treat. Not entirely raw- the veggies and seaweed roll inside were raw but the rice and crabmeat filling were cooked. Felt a little sleepy after I ate it- maybe the carbs from the rice.
Body is still detoxing- had that funny metallic taste in my mouth when I went to sleep.Little bit of nausea in the afternoon that prevented me from donating blood. Probably just as well- the giveaway was a free buffet at Homer's, and I don't know how I would have reacted when confronted with the dessert cart, the home-baked breads, etc. Jim told me when he got home that there wouldn't have been much there that I could have eaten on a raw food diet anyway-salad, some peaches, and that was about it.
Ordered some goodies from The Raw Reform Food Store- some chocolate-flavored power made from all kinds of raw food sources (plant, not diary). Figured it would help me with my chocolate cravings. Also ordered raw pistachios (my favorite nut) and pepitas with a Mojito flavoring-YUM-O!
