Tuesday -Day 18

A wicked busy day. I’m exhausted. Only walked 2 1/2 miles in today outside, and probably couple of more up and down the hall at work, from my office to the bathroom, or from my office is the copy machine. My back has been achy all day. SI joint Needs to be adjusted badly. I realize that a lot of what I’ve been doing will be incorporated into a new norm, but I’m looking forward to bringing back in some of my old norm as well. Three more days.

Smoothie: 2T SP Pro Complete, 1/2 mango, 1 cup Califia coconut milk.

Breakfast: 5 large roasted asparagus and 3oz Lake Michigan lake trout.

Lunch: 1 cup Red lentil, butternut squash curried soup made with coconut milk, sautéed onions. Also enjoyed a salad of mixed greens, one small peach cut into chunks, half an avocado and a half cup of cucumber.

Dinner: Italian pepper stuffed with quinoa and sautéed shallot wit fresh basil. Sauce was Organico Bello (Whole 30 approved), sugar free, very low sodium. 

This one is a keeper. Quinoa and tomato sauce. Yum!

Thursday - Day 13

Sometimes I wonder if we are the only ones who feel the craziness of the morning. Life would be simpler if we woke say 90 minutes before work, groomed, then grabbed a bowl of cereal and out the door. However, if we did that, I wouldn’t be writing a blog that I hope could be helpful to someone else someday. This week has been such a run-on sentence. I have to ask myself “do I feel better than I did before I started this 13 days ago?” Yes and No. I think I have more energy in the morning if I get a good night sleep, yet, once I have my morning walk before work (between 2 and 2.5 miles), I still often feel drained. Perhaps it is the sultry August mornings that are exhausting. I still have sinus issues that usually are seasonal, but the seasonal issue came back in the spring of 2020 and is still here.  So I kept it simple this morning, the best that I could do, maintained all the supplements, and for the morning smoothie I just threw in SP Complete, beets, carrots, cilantro, ginger and...

Monday - Day 3

OH YES!!!  Today certainly was a Monday .  I would of thought with as much food prep as I did Saturday and Sunday, the morning would have been a bit more smooth. Of course not -- but they never are on Mondays! It doesn't help that we have relatively small kitchen space.  When we bought our townhouse and my daughter visited for the first time, one of the first things she commented on was about the size of the kitchen.  Truthfully, someone who likes to cook -  I really do!  - needs larger work space.  But I've never had it. The workday routine is quite full.  My alarm went off at 4:30, out of bed by 4:40 and was on my mat for 20 minutes of stretching right after a trip to the bathroom.  By 5:30 I was down in the kitchen getting breakfast and lunch prepared, eat, and to be out of the house by 6:45 to walk before work.  Have I made you tired yet? Even lunch was rushed since I needed to go out and pick up the SP Pro Complete. Needless to say ...

Standard Process Purification: The Takeaway

Saturday, September 4, 2021 Me this morning. Three weeks have passed since beginning the Standard Process Purification cleanse. Questions such as “How do I feel?”, “What do I notice?”, “Was it worth it?”, “Would I do it again?” and "Moving forward" are all questions to be reflected upon.  I don’t know about you, but many generations just lived, ate seasonally, and didn’t pay much attention to the catchall words that we have today such as “organic” and “sustainable eating.” They already were!!!! Farmers worked hard, still do. Today our society has changed and many of us are stuck behind desks and are on the run so much that the food we eat and unhealthy habits we have formed have been problematic to our overall health, posture, spinal health, obesity, amongst others. There is more disease than ever before in this country, much which has been our own doing, but even more so, the culture and environmental factors around us contribute to dis-ease and our unnecessary stressful liv...
