The other day I asked Patrick if coconut oil was cool for the project, and he said it was a good fat (just don't use a lot). That's a good way to add flavor to dishes. It's kinda expensive but it lasts awhile. Today we got the email about the diet and exercise is better for your body. And I remembered where I learned about coconut oil to begin with. I was a a seminar for Qigong. It was a four day seminar and one day the teacher got really into food healing. To put it bluntly he has cured cancer with food. People would go up on stage and tell the same story, "I had cancer and the medical field said I would not live for vary long, and then I went to the food healing approach and I no longer have cancer". It was all vary emotional and a lot of stories were shared. I'm not sick in any way but I was impressed how all these problems were solved just with food. The teachers whole thing was that health care is just going to get more expensive so we've got to take care of ourselves. I didn't go on the plan because it is a bit excessive and meant for people that have problems. But I got to say that since I've been on this diet I feel like everything is working better inside. I don't really know what's working better but I can feel it. I feel the changes more than I see them and that it just fine with me.
Actually when I think about it I feel the organs working better, but the muscles have been a bit run down the last two days. Especially my legs, they feel like jello. I do all the exercises without problems but I feel really sore I guess it is. I haven't taken a bath since I was like ten, but I think I'm going to test the waters.
I got my first person to tell me I look different. I actually think I look the same since I wear the same t-shirts. But she just kept going on about it and said she felt bad that she hasn't changed, which I don't get at all. I saw a lot of people I hadn't seen for awhile and it was good times.
Bears football started today and we won. Bam.
The feeling good on the inside and looking good on the outside will oscillate from week to week. It takes time for the internal changes to reach the surface!
ReplyDeleteOh, jello legs--I feel you. Walking to the office post-workout is the worst time of the day. Nice that your friend was so complimentary, and interesting that she thought it was an implied judgment about her. Humans, we're so self-centered.
ReplyDeletethanks for the tip on coconut oil.
ReplyDeleteBaths are the business.
Coconut oil -- here I come! I just bought this pad thai box thing, so hopefully there'll be some good flavors in that which can accommodates lots of veggies. maybe coconut oil would work in that mix too! nice to hear about the foods approach to health. i tend to be pretty healthy overall, but if i manage to not get sick all winter that could be a good tale to tell. :)
