Angels Watching over Us

Rate this Entry
The Angles have been busy watching over us.

I can still smell the smoke from the fires burning. Have not heard any updates. The smoke thickens at night. I had difficult breathing and coughing the last two nights.

Baby's two stomach drains have increased drainage, so the vet left them in and will evaluate her Saturday. She has been in seclusion under the couch for most of the day. She does a little kitty swearing (growling) when I have to give her anitibiotic. She has been overall wonderful with allowing me to care for her wounds. Her vet visit will be after working a 12 hour noc shift and have to be back for another night. I need infusions of enegry.

I still sleep on the ground with Baby so I can give her extra tender loving care. She loves it. I picked up a few books on herbal and homepathic remedies for cats and dogs.

I am using tea trea oil and neem oil for Rose (our baby tiny weenie) 75 % chiuchua and 24% weenie puppy to treat her possible ringworm. She doesen't like me too much and runs when she sees me. After all I am the bad one, giving her medicine.

I picked up some thai coconuts for this week.

I ate some cooked lasagna today. BAD

Had raw Coconut Cream Pie.

Kombucha Tea

My figure has been improving. It looks like my stomach is loosing inches and my waist and legs. But the weight loss has not come.

I expected more changes. It seems like I bounce between 180 to 183 pounds. I am disapointed in not loosing more weight. I want that million dollar figure with boundless enegry, glowing skin, sparkling eyes. . .

My skin over all is improving. My face is starting to look like fine china with a few zits by the nose. Been doing a lavender salt scrub that makes my skin feel soft and wonderful smelling.

It seems like the only way for me to loose weight is to be 100% raw. If I eat any cooked, the weight stays the same. I haven't eaten lots of fatty foods, mostly salads in the past.

I ended up making Alfredo Sauce for dinner last night, serving it over zucchini strips, with bell pepper, and corn. I warmed it up in the dehydrator and had a really delicious dinner.

Still working on the home. Picked out a wonderful Purple hose for the front yard. Teen daughter picked lavender paint out to do her bedroom in. Received a letter of acceptance into a charter school for high school. Yea.

OPTIMISTIC that I will continue to do raw. Enjoying getting back into the kitchen to prepare meals. Loving Life, feeling filled with Peace, Happiness, and Joy every day. Raw food makes me feel happy, filled with life enegry.

    Rosepetal, it sounds like things are settling down a bit for you. A thot about he weight--You may find, as I did, that you won't lose weight if you are not getting enough sleep. 12-hour shifts and sleeping on the floor (I presume that is not your usual place!) are probably taking a toll. Could you take Baby, couch cushion and all, to your bed or a table/bench beside your bed?

    Hi Rose Petal, please don't get discouraged if the scales don't show a quick enough weight loss - the same thing has been happening with me. I am definitely losing inches though as are you! I think we shouldn't look at the scales too often. We should just remember fat is like feathers - they are light and take up lots of space, whereas muscle is like gold which takes up very little space and although heavy, is oh so valuable!! Oh, and may I please have a piece of your coconut pie?
