daily journal

After fasting a few days for Summer and only eating enough for strength - that being salads, nuts, berries and drinking lots of water... Sunday I did have some guacomole and flour tortillas, but that again was for strength. Monday, Memorial day, we were invited to my inlaws for dinner, but I took my own schwan's salmon patty and was very good on my food choices. I made my own blackberry tea that morning for breakfast from blackberries I found in my yard and used honey in place of sugar to sweeten. It was kind of bitter, but I didn't break down and use the bad stuff. This morning I had one egg cooked in olive oil and a glass of juice made with Kangen water. Walked my three miles. I figuted since I detoxed during my 3 day fast I need to just use this opportunity to get back on my eating right and eating well and get back on track to proper exercise as well. - Believing God for a miracle for my friend Summer and I pray for her everyday, as I also did this morning during my 3 mile walk away the pound trek. Summer will get healed and I will be the new old me. Healthy, wealthy and wise and we both will have a wonderful Testimony to share.

Summer Maples - update

my friend and music lesson student Summer Maples is in the Intensive Care Unit, Critical care at Laboner hospital in Memphis. She had a brain stroke while they were doing surgery removing tumors from her brain. She lays there in a coma and they cannot talk to her or touch her or anything for 72 hours.They are waiting for the swelling to go down and start healing itself. She cannot be stimulated in anyway. I have fasted completely off of food yesterday for her, drinking only water, but this morning I was so weak and so I am now eating a few seeds and nuts and raisins and had a little cheese along with the water. I feel bad that I had to eat, but only for strength. I am still believing God for a miracle for Summer.

extreme diet begins today

I have been on and off of diets all year... would start off with a bang, just to fail. well.. I am to the point that if I do not do something drastic then I will never change. so with the help of God I am going on a fast. I need to fast anyway because of some serious needs in the lives of some of my students, and I know we are not supposed to mix dieting with fasting, but as I fast today for Summer Maples surgery, I also plan on shocking my body into a purging mode that I can rid myself of bad habits and get out of the binging mode. My body is a temple of the Holy Ghost and I have abused it with too much pampering of satisfying the taste buds and comfort foods. Well... I already know I am supposed to eat Tuna Salmon and Eggs, nuts, fruits and veggies and drink water and pure juices. but I have been eating processed foods, candy, cake, etc.... I have broken down my temple and for that have gained so much weight, been suffering from back pains, very out of shape and just flat out miserable. I am trusting God to help me use good wisdom and to not cave in to temptation. Tonight is the awards ceremony and I know there will be food there. If I really have my mind made up to fast, then I will stay away from it. I will need willpower. In Jesus' Name!

Tuna/potato scallop

for dinner at Homecomeing at Hopewell today I made a crockpot dish of scalloped potatoes and tuna. I used 2 boxes of scalloped potatoes and put those dry in the crock pot. On the stove I put the two packages of cheese, a stick of real butter, 3 cups of water and one cup of milk and brought to a boil, added some sea salt, organic black pepper, a package of instant mashed potatoes (loaded potato) to thicken it. added this to the crock pot. cut up some green onion, celery, added dried herbs including parsley, oregano, sage, fennel, thyme, garlic, some evoo, and a large can of drained tuna and set the crock pot on high, let it cook for about two hours stirring occasionally. at the church I set it to low and allowed it to keep cooking. - it was very good. the variations could be limitless.
