Hmm, protein rich diet causes constipation....when this occurs i tend to plateau. I need to not eat after 7 pm. Also need to drink more water. Have to focus....
Now on to cheerier topics...since my mom's passing in July, I have searched for some spiritual comfort. I know in my heart that when we pass we do not just dissappear and end up in a void. The world around me screams to me about a benevolent creator....so I decided to just go with it. I started reading a book called Edgar Cayce on Angels by Robert J. Grant (That is the beginning of the title of the book). I got it off of the Google Play store. For those who don't know, Edgar Cayce was a psychic in the early 1900's who had an innate ability to channel spirits through him to help people with health, personal and social issues. He is fascinating to read about and his readings have been transcribed. Anyway, reading this book has reassured me that my mom is in a better place. She was always very pious and very sweet. At her wake, people would come up to me to tell me that she was a sweet woman who cared about everyone. I was truly blessed to be her son.
The book is a good read and while I am Catholic, I think it can relate to anyone of a christian faith who wants to know more about what awaits us on the other side and what we can do now to learn more about our own origins. I am not a born again kook who preaches door to door but I am sensitive to my inner spirit. I can wholeheartedly recommend this book. It has helped me deal with a painful loss.
I also think that by dealing with the loss, it has helped me lose weight because I don't have the anxiety from it pushing me to gorge. Anyway, I hope everyone has a great day...
Sunny in NYC...
UPDATE: Ok, so in an effort to clear myself out...I took two Ex-Lax at 9:00am this morning. BOY, did that flush me out. 1:10pm nature came calling. I took the extra strength ones and BOOM...it just works. Now, the only thing I did not like was the stomach cramp. SO, I ordered Mira-lax which I can take everyday to make sure I am regular while on this diet. My buddy, the doc, told me Mira-lax is ok to take everyday and it will help with a protein rich diet. Added benefit is that Mira-Lax is gentle and won't cause any side effects. Now, I just have to wait till it arrives.
Update 2; Yeah, I ate a Hershey's Bar...I missed the taste...and I stayed under 1100 calories!! woo Hoo!
