FullaBella's Journal, 18 May 2017

Thursday - May 18th. The Diatomaceous Earth Food arrived today and I just took my first ‘dose’. I put the recommended tablespoon amount into cranberry juice and drank it quickly as all other reviewers commented that it tastes bad. I didn’t have a problem with it but then again I flung it to the back of my throat like a cowboy drinks whiskey in those western movies.

Then I googled if mixing it with anything other than water was ‘wrong’ and found others use juice too, yogurt, and one even uses in their bulletproof coffee so that’ll be interesting. I am FIGHTING the habit I learned from my Mother ...i.e., “if a little is good a whole lot is better.” If the Tylenol label reads “adult dosage = 2” she would take 6. And I adopted those habits early in life. No wonder I don’t understand ‘suggested single serving’.

All Things Food yesterday? Off the wall irrational. I had ordered the food box delivery from someone new - this time, “Plated” but forgot to put the “Home Chef” delivery on hold so a lot of food arriving just as I was leaving for the four days away. I returned home to two cooked meals and four to still be cooked PLUS an irrational craving for pinto beans.

So I crawled out of bed yesterday on a mission and cooked one of the meals then tossed the rest of the meats into the freezer and started assessing the vegetables to be frozen or used alternative methods; one was a pasta dish and I felt it would be better without the spicy sausage. At the same time I put a pot of beans cooking and baked a pan of cornbread. The two cooked meals were vacuum sealed for the freezer. All this in the 45 minutes I had before dressing and opening my shop.

Now, with all that what did I have for lunch? Cereal. I can’t get out of my own way sometimes. In all of my cooking frenzy I never got my BPC and water didn’t hold weird cravings at bay. I put the rest of the beans and cornbread in the freezer last night; there’s a chicken and vegetable dish in the fridge; I think that my be my lunch when I get around to it. And I have no excursions planned so I’ll get around to cooking the meals that arrived yesterday.

But for now the future deliveries are on hold. I have much food to be consumed for the sake of not being wasteful. Plus with summer here t am quite content with the fresh veggies. Which means I’m ignoring the ‘colon healing advice’ from Domino but I am just not comfortable with the idea of no raw vegetables. I haven’t abandoned the body scan idea. Just moving slowly.

This may be my shortest journal ever. My ‘real’ nails kept peeling and flaking so I had a fresh set of acrylics put on the other night. Now I’m learning to type with nails all over again.
