Very Interesting.......

Ok, so the title for this is more very interesting to me probably.  I did listen to a podcast the other day by John. (it was in the special editions)  Here are the highlights that I found interesting:

- If you make food an option, it will always be the only option.  Food is not an option.

- I'm not a slow learner, I'm a quick forgetter.

- I may not be much, but I''m all I think about.

- To get/recover: physically first then emotionally (mentally) and then spiritually.  You lose it in the reverse order.  First you lose God/Spiritually connection which causes an Emotional uproar which causes you to pick up (physically).

- Bridge between Physical and Spiritual is Emotional (mental)

- We deal with things on an Emotional level because we have a Spiritual gap.  We have a sort of hole that is missing and as a result we deal with things with our emotions which are out of whack.  We take them to a degree that makes them a problem.

- You are always on a diet of one kind or another.  Even eating healthy is basically a diet.  We all have to eat in a certain way.  (I have been on a no liver diet since I left my mother's house..... I don't like liver.)

- I need to take ownership of my foods, and not just hope the food will become in order.

- But not so regimented food plan that I will rebel against it because I'm made it an authority figure.

- I make the choice of what I follow in foods.  I need to know the integrity of my food plan.

- Here's an idea to ask if you should be eating a certain food:  If while you're eating it, you are wondering when you can eat it again.... you probably should be eating it.

- The last addiction is the hardest to give up because then you have to live your life unvarnished.

There you have it.  Today's podcast was good, but not as interesting to me.  Look forward to the next one.

I am feeling better, more up and energetic last two days.  Probably cleaned out from the detoxing - and the easing up of foods on my gall bladder.  Finally.  My family doctor went thru the blood work, and ordered some more.  He was very good at taking the time to explain a few I had questions on.  I am so grateful we have him!!!!

I've been working at keeping up a menu plan that is flexible, but still in line with the Poon foods I desire to eat.  Today was:

B: vegan shake, tea with stevia
S: hard boiled egg
L: lettuce, Drew's dressing (bottle called Drews), leftover pork steak, opsie bread, cream cheese/mustard, tea with stevia
D: Crockpot stewing beef and cabbage/green peppers, tea with stevia

As you notice, tea has stevia again.  Just 2 drops.  So far Meyer Lemon tea has the best flavour and I'm mixing that one with another milder teas that I still have.

One thing that made my little heart cry.... I checked my weight on the doctor's scale.  I know it wasn't Poons, and I need to start just going with his instead.  I just needed to know where I was and if what I was doing was working.  I've always struggled with weight loss, especially without 'pills', that never really got far.  I wanted to know I was doing right with my foods.  I found out my scale weighs 3 pounds LESS then the doctors.  I was in a bit of a shock and had to work thru my feelings coming up - and I was going to the store afterwards.  I did stay with my food choices, didn't have too much trouble at the store.  It wasn't until I was driving home that I was able to see the light.  I realized the first 7 days I ate like there was no tomorrow in choices.  Between Nov 7 - 15, I was at RH and had to eat that food, losing only 2 pounds.  On Nov 16th I promptly started Poons....soo between the 2 pounds plus Nov 16 to Nov 22 - I lost 9 pounds in total.  That means in one week I lost 7 pounds.  That helped me feel better over the weight loss.  And helped me see I am doing well with my food choices.  Yeah!
