Breakthrough!

I took a nap.

...And when I awakened I wrote this in the keeping fats/proteins away from carbs thread below...


"Today, though I am recovering from a major job of sorting cans and bottles in the backyard (3 to 4 thousand of them), I awoke from a much-needed nap, well-rested and ravenous.

Beautiful soup containing beet greens and chard, with a spoonful of brown rice, needs a splash of apple cider vinegar!

I have a sneaky suspicion that's what we need every day. I feel terrific!

Lewis Carroll, at the beginning of 'Alice in Wonderland', said it best..."Soup of the evening, beautiful soup.""


I felt wonderful!

Yes, my legs and waist still ached from the workout they got two days ago, but the 'toothache quality' was gone...I was above it.

I felt, and my body acted like the early days on the original, bare-bones Weight Watchers when I was twenty-five, four+ decades ago, and before I started smoking.

That's a complete turn-around in fourteen hours, just with a superior pot of vegetable soup with small splashes of lemon juice or unprocessed apple cider vinegar; and few transgressions with the fat/protein apart from carbs thing.

(The less than one teaspoon of Epsom Salts in hot water [a little more magnesium than was in the soup] I had about 11 p.m. last night didn't hurt either. I had a happy bathroom visit at 10 a.m. this morning...the best in ages...which means I am not particularly 'blocked', thank goodness.)

Do you know what this means to me?

It means that this may be the 'missing link' in actually getting the nutrients from the veggies I eat; and I may have cracked the secret behind Weight Watchers.

They told us at the get-go that they didn't know how it worked. I think it was the limitation of fats/proteins with limited carbs.

If I am also releasing the calcium and magnesium in veggies, with a little lemon juice or raw apple cider vinegar...well, the sky's the limit.

The truly restful nap, came, I believe, from the combination of calcium, magnesium, and lemon/ACV, which is mighty like the infomercials I've seen on TV for the powdered version sold in bottles...but cheaper.

That stuff is supposed to give you a great sleep. That's what I got...for free.

...Plus a fine bathroom visit...plus feeling I was back on Weight Watchers, peeing out excess weight...and I am getting the prickles in my liver/gallbladder area that signal the movement of stones (Hooray); and I may even be moving out the debris from parasite cleanses, at last.

After my nap, and after I did a few things around the house, I got sort of sleepy again...so I came here to the computer and posted and napped some. (If you see me not making sense sometimes, snap your fingers and I'll wake up.)

So, here are the basics...

7 p.m. last night
Soup including purple-skinned carrots, daikon, celery, mixed dark greens, a big piece of ginger, lots of garlic, onion, lightly simmered, on top of a spoonful of cooked brown rice...a few other things with it.

11 p.m.
Another bowl of soup with a drizzle of lemon juice...and less than one teaspoon of Epsom Salts in one cup of hot water.

8 a.m. this morning
Soup and a smaller spoonful of brown rice, plain, no butter, only a bit of Celtic gray Sea Salt , and splash of apple cider vinegar. Felt virtuous.

10 a.m.
Good bathroom visit.

11 a.m.
Fresh piece of watermelon, 10 minutes out of the garden.

11:20 a.m. to 1:25 p.m.
Nap. Awoke with a dash to the bathroom, and found I felt fine, as well as hungry.

This evening we had a veggie dinner (my fish was spoiled), and I splashed some ACV on the mashed medley of carrots, parsnips, and white sweet potato, with butter. Had butter on the steamed new potatoes, too. I feel nicely stuffed, though not virtuous.

I'm sipping hot water and contemplating Epsom Salts , at 7 p.m.

It's been quite a day.
