Tuesday- Day 11

With 8-hours of sleep last night, not waking once during the middle of the night, the morning is off to a good start. A good night’s sleep also means more energy and I didn’t have to drag myself to my mat. After a decent work out it was time for breakfast and lunch preparation. Because it was also Day 11, that meant that I could start at adding wild fish or organic chicken (or wild game) into my meal plan.

So the routine has been laid here, SP supplements, shake, food, and out the door. This morning I created a simple fig shake. All the same Standard Process ingredients, and doubling the batch so I can bring one to work. The only difference in what I used for liquid is that instead of the Califia coconut milk, are used SO Coconut milk. I think I prefer the Califia.

To make clean up easy I lined a cookie sheet with parchment paper and laid out our asparagus and roasted them in the oven. I then roasted a 6 ounce piece of Lake Superior lake trout. While it is suggested that the fish only be deep sea, and not lake fish, the lake trout is from the deep waters and it is what I had in the house. Most of the fish on the list is totally, totally out of my price range. When you live in the middle of the country that’s what you get. We are very blessed to have Roberts Seafood here and all the fish they get in daily is very sustainable.


The protein is only supposed to be the size of the palm of your hand, and while this half piece of lake trout looks longer than the palm of my hand, it was also half the width.

For lunch I prepared chopped kale with the last of the chopped vegetable salad that I made this weekend. I sprinkled olive oil and lemon juice with a little bit of black ground pepper. Last night I had made lentil Dahl, so I packed a half cup for lunch. Also threw in a peach for a snack.

Because everything flows nicely we were out of the house on time and were able to get a 2 1/2 mile walk in at the park before work. At lunch we added another mile and a quarter walking over to Roberts for fish for supper. They had decent price ($16.99/#) on cod and $20.99/# for wild sockeye salmon. 

The price of groceries is really, really insane. We spend too much, but I do not know how to reduce it unless we eat a more American standard diet.

For dinner I prepared roasted yellow squash with fennel, seasoned with thyme and black pepper. I also roasted the cod seasoned with Old Bay (low sodium). It turned out to be a very simple but delicious meal.

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...

Simple Graces

How soothing the touch of the warm summer breeze against my cheek. As if a gentle kiss were planted on me. Up high, a bird sings a melodic tune, And although my eyes do not find him, My ears are glorified with his song of praise. Such simple graces bestowed upon me. A family of geese files in formation As they leave the grotto in a symmetrical dance. I watched the bee, painted in yellow and black, Savoring the nectar of a wildflower. So busy. So purposeful. Just simples graces. Then, I meet you in your splendor. Your delicate innocence surrounds you As you stop at the edge of the meadow Where the grasses meet the wood. Your nose quivers some as you try to determine your safety. You are aware you are not alone. I see your ears perk and your eyes gaze through the foliage. Then you proceed --- Oh! How gracefully you walk forward. As delicate as a flower, sweet grace. Yes, my sweet doe; That is what I will name you, For that is what you are. As you stop and l...

Wednesday- Day 19

A new day, a new month! September 1st. I really like the ring of that! 🍂 While I had a really good night sleep (only up once to use bathroom which is common and I typically always fall right back to sleep), I was glad I fell asleep shortly after getting into bed. One of the areas I noted was that this Purification has not helped in the sleep department. Since we don’t get home until after 5:30 (the work days are long) we don’t sit down to supper until at least 6:30. Then we need to wait at least 2 hours to go to bed which 9 pm works for us, especially when the goal is to be up by 4:30. Although I would like to be up by 4:15. However since Sunday night I’ve had to take melatonin as I just get into bed and then become awake and lie there. Just warmed not hot fresh milk sprinkle with nutmeg does the trick. I caved last night I have milk at. 8 o’clock no problem falling asleep as I typically do before yes. Well back to meals for the day! It was a whirlwind of a day too. Smoothie: 2T SP Pr...
