Guest guest Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Hey , Thanks for sharing, I'll have to take out my book and check it out. Mind you it's thanks to a friend here who was nice enough to finally copy the index of the book for me b/c I asked here several times and no one offered. Is that nice? I start this group, get everyone together and not one person who had the book wanted to copy a few pages for me even when I offered to pay for the copies? Is the Jewish guilt working??????????

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Reggie, I always wished for the type of metabolism where I could eat anything and still be thin, but I have a different lesson to learn in life I suppose. But besides the obvious physical benefits of maintaining an odeal weight, it's really beneficial for my mind and emotional state. I could be totally bummed out about something, step onto my yoga mat, and then one hour later be completely transformed and refreshed. I used to swim a lot too when I lived in Idaho and Alaska. It's extremely meditative. In Idaho, I would walk from my apt. in the cold cold snowy winter over to the pool on a Saturday evening when most people were out partying. The pool was virtually empty and they would turn off all the overhead lights so we only had the pool light on underneath. It was like being in the womb. I loved it. Then I moved to Oregon where the pool was always busy and I gave up fighting people for space. I'm talking about Aveline Kushi's Complete Guide to Macrobiotic Cooking. I thought going a bit more standard would center me instead of eating wider things such as from my other wider macro cookbooks. Maybe it's just the eating out thing? Suddenly too, I'm so drawn back to baked flour (a bit better now) but also sweets in general. Sigh! I'm thinking about taking a week or two to write down things in a food journal to get a handle on all the emotional/physical stuff. Hey, at least Bruce is gone! Does that help? Usually, I'm having fun being busy! During cooking lessons, potlucks, and other events, I'm living in the moment really focused on everything happening for the students. But because I'm working at 4 different places right now, sometimes details slip through the memory banks into limbo, somehow erased. I could use a lot more sleep and sometimes find myself a bit tired. I'm trying to balance the work with rest and relaxation so that I don't get too yang, but I'm feeling really driven in these early stages of developing a macrobiotic community here. I probably couldnt do 1/2 of this unless I did maintain a macrobiotic wholefoods diet. At our last potluck, some vegan people confessed to feeling really shy about group introductions. I could relate to their feelings of shyness and embarrassment. I was really gleeful actually to feel confident enough to be the spokesperson and to announce everything without feeling nervous. It was fun to find new people in the room who came in late and introduce myself to them. It's a whole new me really. I'm glad your fast went well and that you're feeling a bit better. Maybe the reaction you're having is a healing reaction? Take care, > > > > > > where is everyone? > > > I've decided to pick up the pieces of my health again, going the > > > straight and narrow.
