Day 9 ~ 9/17/07

Rate this Entry
Well here I am at the end of the real day 9!

I feel totally full from all of the wonderful sampling I've been doing throughout the day....

I'm not too crazy about the banana crackers - they are kind of flavorless to me - if I make them again I would add pumpkin pie spice to liven them up!

The mexican crackers taste a little funny too - I ground the sunflower and pumpkin seeds (in a coffee grinder) because I didn't soak them and really wanted to make the crackers. Then I spread them tooooooo thick and they kind of fall apart now....humph...

I really think the taco flax crackers I made turned out very tasty....yummers!

Oh, oh! and I DO like both of the cookies I made - lemon poppy seed and nectarine!

I think I better work on eating and drinking all of my fruit tomorrow......and lay off some of the tasty snackies I made!

I taught one of my yoga classes and again, I share what I am doing (and bring Alissa's book!)....and I get the ever famous ? of "where do you get your protein???" , um - just about everywhere I answer........

People don't realize we get waaaaaayyyyy more protein than we need! Aaaggghhhh! Like I'm going to famesh (sp?) away or something...... yeah, that would be something!

Yesterday I had some raw friends tell me that I seem more upbeat/brighter....then they say "Not that you weren't before"......it's OK, tell the truth!

Yesterday while I was making everything - it was like I was on speed or something....buzzing over here, than there....buzz buzz buzz! Me - like the little energizer bunny! LOL.......I'm sooooo not like that........rarely ever!

I'm very mellow, go with the flow - but I can move when I need to.

I always joke with the people in my yoga class that I could never be the aeorbics teacher type of a person - for 1 - I'm not very coordinated in that grapevine, left step, right heel, grapevine kick and clap!?!?!?!?!? You get the idea! And 2 - I have very sensitive ears - I don't want them bleeding by the time I'm done with a class from screaming "WOO, come on ladies!!!!!!!!"

Anyways, off to eat some fruit!
Later girls ~

    Buzz-buzz? Have you been nibbling raw chocolate? That's the effect it has on me. Buzz-buzz. PS. Yoga is so much more fun than aerobics anyway...who wants to be barked at for an hour?
