~Craving Smoothies~

I actually wake up hungry now, within an hour of getting up, & CRAVING smoothies! My body WANTS their power-punch of nutrition, like it used to boss me around demanding chocolate! I'm sitting here drinking one, feeling it coarse through me, strengthening me for the day ahead! I've been putting raw tahini in it, (the highest source of absorbable calcium) & i love the way it tastes!
i FINALLY got the furniature I sold out of here & have access to my exercise area again...& also, of course, got my period for the first time in i don't know how long...the longer i stay as raw as possible, the more the PCOS symptoms start lessening, & the sooner my period returns...last year, it almost totally regulated it after about 2 months, for about 6 months...
...i know it's not good to miss too many cycles, the endometrial lining builds up, & that can increase chances of developing uterine cancer, when it isn't shed each month. My Dr. wanted to put me on the pill to regulate it to at least every 3 months, but knowing the pill can increase the risk of strokes & heart attacks, i refused...i got some vitex herbal tea, knowing it can help regulate hormones, but keep forgetting to drink it...but i know getting & staying 100% raw will reverse the problem, {as well as many other health issues i still have going on!}
A sense of calmness & peace has returned to my spirit, (much as i miss Hannah!) to live in solitude & silence once again...I'm playing my guitar, singing & writing songs again, whenever they come...I'm praying more, in the moment, whenever I'm led, throughout the day...
...I'm feeling lighter inside to suddenly no longer have the daily battles & bad habits going on that Hannah & i had been sinking into in our communication with each other, mostly due to my poor health, & how it's affected my parenting, & our home. I'm developing new habits again, that will greatly benefit our daily lives together, once she's finally home, & it feels great to finally be pro-active, rather than mainly reactive!
And my kitchen's almost 100% raw! I've bagged up a bunch of stuff to give to my neighbour, not 'bad' food, just not raw...I'm going to write out, on recipe cards, some different recipes Hannah & i can make together, & gather the needed ingredients, especially for her, when she gets bored with raw, cuz she loves to 'cook', & try new dishes!
I'm going to ask her to go 100% with me for the spring & summer, & exereince with me the difference it makes, & then, if she still wants to do one cooked meal a day, I'll be well-established by the fall, & i know I'll be able to consistantly handle having it in my house again...but I'm hoping, by then, she'll love it & wanna stay raw!
Off to get some sunshine, write my to-do list for today out on the balcony, then back to spring cleaning! Somehow we have 3 times as much homeschooling stuff as we need! Time to sell it, & give it away!
Hope you're having a RAWSOME day today!
Get some sunshine!
