Janie's July 2003 Journal
2 Jamaican lilikoi (passion fruit) – from our
vines! :-)
1 large cantelope ~10 or 11 med-sized HI apple bananas (possibly more – hard to tell ‘cause the skins are a bit buried in the compost and I didn’t count them beforehand 3 and 1/2 med-sized papayas a few bites of jackfruit 1 tree tomato & will eat lots of jackfruit later… As far as exercise goes – it’s a light day, actually day off. I did some walking around the market (getting sunshine too) for about an hour & will probably do some stretches and pushups later, maybe more – depending on how I feel & what else I need to do… Well, that’s it for now – I have a sneaking suspicion that I forgot to mention something that I ate, but can’t figure out what it’d be… oh, well – I’ll try to keep track as it goes tomorrow, no promises though. ;-) Aloha! Thursday 7/10/03: Food: 9:30am on way out door: A few slices of pineapple 5pm: 1 1/2 med. papayas, 1 very very large papaya ~9pm or so: ~8 HI apple bananas Exercise: Did 13 full pushups in a row tonight!! My new personal best! :-) (The best was 12 before – and I just did that a day or two ago. Cool.) I did 10 more later on, after I read some of Herbert Shelton’s writings for a while & just before going to sleep. Oh yeah, and I did some light stretches. Detox/Progress: Well, didn't really have any noticeable detox, so nothing to report there. About my progress: My hubby was sitting nearby when I was doing my famous 13 pushups (breaking my personal record and all) ;-) and I asked him if I was doing them properly. It’s easier for someone else to see if you’re all straight and all & since he was right there I was curious. It was funny – he asked me if he was just too tired to see clearly or if I was actually doing full push-ups. LOL He hadn’t noticed before that I’ve been doing that kind for a while. I usually do my exercise separately from him, unless its hiking or outdoor stuff. I said that, yes, I was actually doing full push ups. He asked me how many I’d done so far so I started counting out loud. He said I was doing them well and was really impressed with my, ‘raw food muscles.’ He knew that I hadn’t been able to do even one of that kind before. He said something like if he had any doubts about the raw food’s great effects on me before (which he hasn’t – actually been commenting on things daily), he’d have no doubts left after seeing that. I told you it was a big thing for me. ;-) Journal: It was a really busy day today & I didn’t have time to go to the beach & even missed the farmer’s market. :-( I guess I’ll have to wait until next Thursday to get more rolinia – hope she’ll still have some… It was getting towards the end of the season & she’s the only one I know that has it. Oh well. That’s really the only thing at that market I can’t get at the others right now, since the watermelon guy’s not going to have any again until August. The busi-ness also reflected in my eating. I sometimes forget to eat when I’m involved in stuff (usually make it up the next day tho'). I wasn’t really hungry as much though ‘cause I didn’t exercise yesterday or today (until this evening, after I ate). I ate too late at night – I like to be done eating by 8pm, but I didn’t get home until around 9, so that’s how that happened. It was still 2 or more hours after eating before I went to sleep, so it was sort-of okay. My hubby did almost all raw again today! He had a few roasted peanuts we have at the store for our son to snack on, but other than that he did all raw. It was not low fat though – he’ll get the hang of that eventually. He ate lots of sunflower seeds, sort of snacked on them for quite some time while working. If I remember correctly, he also had: the rest of the pineapple I took some of in the morning, a very large papaya (almost as large as mine), a couple of apple bananas? – not sure of that, and the sunflower seeds. He probably had other stuff too, but I don’t remember seeing him eat it – but I wasn’t with him all day either… Friday 7/11/03:
dinner @~9pm: soup of: tomatoes (a bunch of romas ~6-9?, forgot
to count - filled the blender 3/4 way or so)
~9:15am: bag of lychee while waiting for market to start
~10am: water from 2 coconuts
~6am: 1/2 large melon papaya
soursop poi
didn't keep track of my food today
didn't keep track of food again
~ 9am: water from young coconut
~10am: 3 papayas, 3 HI apple bananas
I went to the farmer's market today. My hubby's sick so I went by
myself, which meant that I needed to take more trips than we have
been - especially for the coconuts. I got some large papayas, coconuts,
lilikoi, oranges, a small custard apple-sugar apple-moya type of
thing, and some local HI apple bananas & red bananas. I haven't
been all that into the bananas recently so I thought I'd try some
of the other varieties & see if my taste for them has changed.
I was reading over these logs from a year ago & noticed that
my tastes have changed. A year ago I tried a fruit that I didn't
know the name of -called it 'mystery fruit' - and from its description
I can tell what it was. It was rolinia, one of my current favorites,
but back then I wasn't sure... thought it was okay, but didn't think
I'd want to eat much of it. Now I'd make a meal of it. LOL Back
then I couldn't eat more than 1/2 a white sapote (too sweet) &
now I eat as many as are ripe at the time - I think 6 or 7 has been
the most so far. I also couldn't eat more than one date at first
(too sweet for my tastes) & now I can eat a dozen.
