I just watched the movie food inc. I will admit it was a hard movie to watch. The treatment of the animals, the workers and the farmers was awful!
I cannot comprehend how we can treat one another the way we do. Where is our compassion for one another. For the creatures, and for the plant life of the earth? Why do we let money and wealth in the way of helping one another?
We are a nation that thrives on getting ahead. Of being better and having more than the next person. We are hurting ourselves, and the other beings that reside on this earth, by our greed and selfishness and non caring attitude. It is such a tragedy!
I for one, after watching this movie, am definitely going as organic as possible.I have been doing it somewhat, worrying about price, but not anymore.
I believe the animals are treated better. Being give a better life out in the field, to eat grass, and enjoy the sunshine. And I believe that human beings when in close contact with the soil, the plants and the animals have a greater car and concern for the planet and life as a whole.
I know, because I had a garden and it felt wonderful!
Digging up the soil, the fresh smell of the earth flowing through my senses. The joy of planting the seeds, and tending them and watching them grow to maturity gave me such a feeling of satisfaction and completion. I wanted to share my wealth and bounty with everyone.
Anyway I am glad that I watched it. It opened my eyes and enlightened me.

tuesday, September 21st
Well, I feel stupid! I forgot to save my blog post so now I have to rewrite it. Oh well.
I had a rather stressful weekend, along with Monday, but today is much better. I feel back in the flow of things.
It's amazing how something can just tear the rug out from under your feet. That's how Saturday was. I started feeling panicky. I have never felt that way in my life! But I was sure feeling that way on that day. I started feeling something in my gut, you know that intuition sort of feeling, when you just know something is going to happen. Well, that was ok, but then it started to build and get stronger. To where, my heart was racing, and I had to breathe deeply to calm myself down. I was fine away from the house, but when we headed back it started up again. I almost passed out in the back of the truck.
Nothing happened though. It had calmed down to a whisper by evening. Sunday morning it was there, but still not bad. I just figured that I was wrong about it. But after breakfast, sure enough, what I felt did happen. I can't say as to what it was. But I can tell you that it was hurtful all the way around. Three of us ended up hurt, not physically, I was emotionally hurt, and so was one of the other two. It was painful to say the least.
Monday was still painful, enough that I did a lot of crying. There were a lot of tears! But needless to say I made it through, but it sure wasn't fun. It was a lesson I guess I had to learn to move on.
Anyway on to nutrition. I weighed myself this morning and I was down to 158. I was shocked again to say the least. Like I said previously the only thing I'm doing different is the green tea with lemon before each meal, and a lot more salads. I fee great!
I did learn today from the power point presentation along with Dr Henelee talking a lot of things, but what stood out the most was him talking about the fact that if your feet don't point straight forward that you have a tight anal sphincter. Which works in the case of my ex. And that it means you tend to hold on to things and not let them go. Man does that work for him. Anyways, I thought it very interesting. And if your lips look like you have sucked on a lemon, that you don't take anything in, or in other words absorb it.
I love listening to him talk about nurtition! It is empowering and filled with truth. I can feel it deep inside me when he talks He is most definitely feeding my soul.
I know that I will love the energetics part of it. Anything having to do with energy, I'm there. I studied Shambhala Multidimensional Healing. I am at the second level. I had a long distance attunement from a Shambhala teacher in Washington State. Shambhala is somewhat like Reiki, but I enjoy it more. I use it when I massage someone. I also use it when someone is in need.
Anyway, thanks so much all of you for listening!

day 5
I weighed myself this morning and I was shocked! I have lost 3 pounds in 3 days. I really haven't changed my eating or my exercise. The only thing different is that I am drinking the green tea with lemon 15 minutes before I eat. I always eat a lot of salads. I feel awful if I don't. I also feel better if I don't eat a whole lot of meat. Especially red meat. I do love fish and shellfish and poultry.
Today so far is smoother, not so much stress as yesterday.
I have also noticed, though this might seem gross, that my tongue isn't coated in the morning. I always brush it, but the past few days it's looked pretty pink and healthy.

thursday September 16, 2010
today was a rather hectic day for me. I went for my morning walk as usual. Called my grandson in North Idaho because today is his 7th birthaversary. Lucky him, it was raining there.
Got home and ate breakfast. Which consisted of greek honey yogurt, granola, raspberries and blueberries. Then made up my grocery list and went to Sprouts.
I live with friends. There was really nothing good to eat in the house. Usually way too many chips, beef, and soda. Not enough for me of the good stuff, like veggies and fruit. I don't drink soda, and I don't eat chips. I really try to eat healthy.
I am trying to eat with phase 1 of the worlds healthiest foods. I am drinking the tea before I eat. I forgot to have some before I had my lunch. But I don't think it will hurt anything. I didn't get back til 12, and then I had to do my zumba.
My daughter texts me from Idaho and tells me she didn't get Caseys birthday ecard which had a gift card attached to it. Great! So I'm trying to figure that out. I make my lunch, and get a call from my fiance' that he's been in an accident. He's fine, a lady turned left in front of him. He tried to move out her way, and tried to stop, but he hit her on his passenger side. He drives a 4 wheel drive dually and it has a big heavy bumper on it. She was driving a 2004 honda accord. It actually put a large hole in his tire and scuffed up the rim and the bumper. It damaged her quarter panel. He was fine. He had to be towed home. I was so relieved that he was ok. Even though he told me he was, I had to see it for myself. He's going to the chiropractor tomorrow because his lower back is hurting.
Well, enough of that.
I did take a picture of myself with the foods that I eat. And I added one of me at halloween last year.
Guess I'll go.
Hopefully I'll write tomorrow.

my journey day 1
Well today is the first day of my nutrition class at SWIHA. I have to keep a food journal. Thats going to be fun, but I'll do my best to keep up with it for a week. Everything I read today was really interesting. I am so thankful that I took anatomy and pathology with my massage classes at ASMT. It has helped me understand what I am reading.
Tomorrow or Wednesday I'm going to take a picture of me surrounded by the food I eat, thats part of my assignment for this week.
Well, gotta go, see you tomorrow.
