Day 21!
Strawberry Day!
Date: 8/10/2016 5:42:00 AM ( 8 y ) ... viewed 618 times It's 20 past 8 in the pm on my 21st day of this fast, decided to go purely liquids today and let the fast deepen again after having a little food for the last 4 or 5 days each eve - still waiting on my period, 34 days wow - but the cramps are there.
Did the big bush track again today with my practice, taking with me half the kiwi-custard apple skin-apple-pear juice with cinnamon and a little milk and water - again a nice tart, like a soursop flavor - I am really getting fit, I was actually jogging some of the trail today - something I haven't done on that trail and jogging uphill - have been pushing myself on the big inclines and really breaking a sweat, getting my heart rate up and increasing my speed and endurance - its good, really caned it on the whole circuit today and my practice is also deepening as I go, completing this ritual more and more often - there's a lot to be said about continuity
So today I had a morning tea, a coffee a bit later - my friend/ex came home from midnight shift still drunk having downed god knows how much straight vodka before and during his shift - he didn't seem right and I caught him out, he admitted he was still drunk driving home - he really is a problem person - wish I didn't have to deal with this bad destructive behavior, he's downed 5 bottles (I know about) of straight spirits 750 ml ones in less than a month this time... crazy binge drinking, so messed up - hides it most of the time but I end up finding out at some point.... so worried he's going to kill himself and his health going on like this - anyway, there's a lot that's toxic about many people - not everyone has their head screwed on right.
So this morning was upsetting with all that, and I wrote a letter after he had crashed then I went out for my walk - took me the first 1/3rd of the walk just to get it out of my system, nature is awesome like that
came home to him up and sober being helpful, cleaning up and talked some more...
Had a broth, yum yum
and I made some strawberry juice - today was strawberry day in the juice feast :) So I juiced strawberry, one of the green apples, another vanilla bean and its scrapings went in there with some lemon zest, water, ambrosia and in the end I did add a little milk and a drizzle of french hazelnut syrup - the strawberry juice/milk is amazing, so many beautiful flavors - the lemon zest and vanilla - so different to lemon juice, aromatic - had a little glass and a half getting the flavor ration right and bottled up the rest which is in the fridge - so there's some of the kiwi custard skin drink and that left in there - might have a bit more tonight and a second cup of broth and the rest for tomorrow
No yoga today, think the conflict and the bushwalk were enough for one day - bath, sauna and yoga tomorrow then Friday I'll be heading to the city again for the weekend, some work on there
Did some business work tonight as well - all good, happy with what I've put together and a bit more room cleaning plus started packing for the wkend - day 21 finds me stronger, younger, getting back to myself, starting to turn more and more inwards, contemplative - I find myself more and more thinking about my patterns, values, dreams, how to remember the spiritual view and not fall into forgetfulness so much and about the deep meaning of my spiritual practices.
Feel more like going back to reading Rumi than watching shows.
More tomorrow - going to keep going for some time yet :)
