C'est moi

Gee, has it really been almost a month since I posted? It feels like a few days....that wretched holiday took over my life, like it always does. One family thing after another, plus birthday parties, a funeral, I got sick, Mr.Liza got sick--the works.

After my last post (Dec 16), I managed another week raw and then...not so much. I have myself back in a transitional diet (raw all day, mixed at dinner) till the 15th, my self-imposed deadline.

My only real worry is that I go for another cholesterol test on the 26th and I know it will not be good. Of course, it was not good the last time, either, and that was after 4 months raw--my cholesterol went up. So, that is the current big dread. I won't take statins for it, and I'll be arguing with my dr about it again.

I went for a second energy work session last week. It was awesome, and yet very disturbing on a certain level, as we discussed my father's age and that he's preparing to move on. I know that's had me in bit of a frantic mode and made it harder to avoid the self-defeating eating behavior. Sometimes, one's center is so very hard to locate...and stay in! But I know y'all know.

Anyway, here I am. And glad to be back.

    Well hello there stranger - I wondered what happened to you! Sickness has been floating around here too - I got some kind of flu type thing that had me down and out for a good week but things are back to normal now.

    Glad to see you are doing ok!

    I feel in your words what your going through, and I do know that feeling. Worrying about our parents aging and taking good care of ourselves at the same time....I couldn't do it. Sure wish I had. When my Mom got sick I stopped caring about my health. You'd think it would make us take better care of ourselves!

    As I wrote a few minutes ago to Jen, loving and forgiving ourselves makes it easier to take good care of ourselves. But, you know that. ;)
